The Parthenon is an ancient Greek temple located on the Acropolis of Athens, dedicated to the goddess Athena. Built between 447 and 438 BCE during the Athenian Golden Age, it is considered a masterpiece of classical architecture. The temple is known for its harmonious proportions, Doric design, and iconic columns. It originally housed a massive statue of Athena by Phidias. Though partially damaged over the centuries, the Parthenon symbolizes ancient Greek culture and democracy.

It is a great tour but very crowded at the beginning with all of the groups starting in the same place. It took a while For us to get sorted in to groups. Our guide was super knowledgeable and fun. She took her time and was very laid back. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

Our guide was amazing!!! Artemis was so knowledgeable, kind, and considerate to all our group! She shared so much about Athens and you can see how proud she is of the history of the city. The Acropolis did not disappoint I suggest morning tours for sure, and don’t skip the museum or ruins below it all were great!! Lunch next time I would skip it wasn’t impressive and service seemed annoyed that a tour group was there even though there was only 3 people that did the Greek meal. Overall we were so glad we chose this tour and was placed with our guide!!
