What to expect
Step back in time and journey through over 6,000 years of history with an archaeologist guide as you explore the legendary Acropolis — one of the most iconic and influential sites of the ancient world.
Begin your tour at a convenient location right next to the South Slopes entrance of the Acropolis. From there, ascend the sacred rock and experience the awe of standing among the ruins that defined Western civilization.
Marvel at the Parthenon, the timeless symbol of ancient Greek achievement, and admire the elegant Temple of Athena Nike. Stand before the Erechtheion, with its world-famous Porch of the Caryatids, and walk through the grand Propylaea, the ceremonial gateway to the Acropolis.
Along the way, your archaeologist guide will bring these ruins to life with vivid storytelling, historical insight, and deep knowledge of ancient Greek culture and daily life. Explore the South Slope of the Acropolis, home to important sanctuaries and early cultural sites such as the Theater of Dionysus, the birthplace of Western theater, and the Temple of Asclepius, the god of healing.
