What to expect

It goes without saying that no one can leave Athens if they haven't visited "the sacred rock" of Acropolis before and there is no better chance to do that than with this early access visit, away from crowds.

The Acropolis was home to temples and sanctuaries throughout recorded history and still remains a symbol of the city of Athens. Its religious importance was paramount to the ancient Greeks, and the buildings on the summit still capture the essence of their classical architecture.

With this small-group walking tour, you will delve into the great history and the impressive mythology of Ancient Greece. You will stroll around the ancient ruins of the stunning, UNESCO-listed Acropolis with an expert guide, that will fill you in of every detail of the place. You will admire incredible views of the Parthenon, a paradigm of architectural and artistic perfection, and learn about its history and importance for the ancient Athenians.

Then you will have the chance to explore the Theater of Dionysus, the birthplace of drama and comedy, as well as the social and political heart of Athens in ancient times. Marvel at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus and get a sense of ancient artistic interests. Get close to important sites, such as the Propylaea gateway, Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike. Pause to take photos of these glamorous sights and learn their great history from your expert guide. Once at the summit of the Acropolis hill, you can take in the sweeping panoramas of the capital of Greece, as you learn about the excavations and get an insight into the citadel.

Acropolis is this historic place in Athens you cannot miss – so join this tour to explore its many different sites and become a history buff if you aren't already.
