Acropolis

Our day starts with the Acropolis, focus of life in Ancient Athens & surrounded by its amazing cyclopedian wall built by the Myceneans thousands of years ago. The Acropolis is home to the Parthenon, but also many other amazing monuments. You will first enter through the giant ‘Propylaia’ behind which once stood a gold encrusted statue of the Goddess Athena. You will also see the Temple of Athena Nike (or 'Viktory') from 420 BC before other important sites such as the mythical Erechtheion, unique in its construction with its iconic statues of the Caryatids, and the World’s oldest Theater of Dionysus from the 6th Century BC, which would have seen the very first performances of ancient plays by Sophocles and Euripides among others. The impressive & fully renovated Roman theatre, Herodius Atticus, completed in AD 161, also in the site, was dedicated to the wife of a rich benefactor and still hosts a vibrant public Summer program.

WOW! Our tour guide was amazing. Pedro was wonderful. He was punctual, the transportation was clean and comfortable. He explained all the sites and city history. He answered any questions we had about Athens. Athens was a city I had always wanted to visit and explore and after Pedro’s tour I want to return for more Athens adventures. The private tour was our favorite tour during our Mediterranean Cruise
Superseded our expectations!
