Acropolis

The Acropolis of Athens, perched on a limestone hill in the heart of the city, is Greece’s most iconic ancient site and a universal symbol of classical civilization. Dating back to the 5th century BC, it was the spiritual and political center of ancient Athens. Dominated by the Parthenon, the Acropolis also features the Propylaea, Erechtheion, and Temple of Athena Nike—each showcasing the brilliance of ancient Greek architecture. Built during Athens’ Golden Age under Pericles, this UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrates the city’s devotion to Athena and its lasting contributions to democracy, philosophy, and the arts.

    This tour was very good and met our expectations. We were able to visit a lot of spots in a well-organized way, and the pacing felt just right. Panos was helpful and knowledgeable, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Overall, it was a great experience and a good way to see many highlights in one trip. I’d definitely recommend it.

    We were at the Acropolis in September. It was hot and there were thousands of people walking on rough terrain. Even though there are assigned times to get in and out the amount of people is staggering. I would not have wanted to miss it but…crowd control they can do much better with! The changing of the guard and the Marathon stadium were great. Our tour guide Pados was knowledgeable, joyful, and very patient with the heavy Athens traffic! Across the city was Saint George’s chapel on Mt Lycabettus with stunning views and a whole different view of the Acropolis.

  • A great beginning
