Description

Step into the heart of Athens on a guided walking tour that brings the legendary Acropolis and Parthenon to life. Begin your journey on the south slope, where you’ll explore the Dionysus Sanctuary and the ancient Dionysus Theater, setting the stage for a fascinating historical adventure.

As you ascend the Acropolis, your expert local guide will share captivating stories about iconic monuments such as the Parthenon, Erechtheion, Propylaea, and the Temple of Athena Nike. Along the way, enjoy sweeping panoramic views of Athens, perfect for capturing memorable photos.

Your tour also highlights other important sights, including the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Ancient Agora, and the National Observatory. Marvel at the scenic city hills of Filopappou, Mars, and Pnyx, each offering a unique perspective on Athens’ ancient landscape.

The experience lasts approximately two hours and is conducted in English, with group sizes kept small for a personalized feel. Headphones are provided so you can hear your guide clearly, and you’ll receive a helpful Athens map and guide magazine to inspire further exploration.

Choose the ticket option that best suits your needs—either with or without Acropolis and museum entry included. Tours operate rain or shine, and punctuality is essential due to strict timed entry.
