Description

Begin your day in Athens with a guided early morning walking tour of the legendary Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With skip-the-line entry, you’ll ascend the hill before the crowds and heat arrive, enjoying unobstructed views of ancient marvels like the Parthenon, Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike.

Your expert, licensed guide brings the stories of the Acropolis to life as you pass the Theatre of Dionysus and explore the Propylaea and the Pedestal of Agrippa. Audio devices ensure you won’t miss a word as you immerse yourself in the rich history of Greece’s most iconic monument.

After exploring the Acropolis, continue your journey through the charming cobblestone streets of Plaka, Athens’ Old Town, if you’ve selected this option. Stroll past the Ancient Agora and the National Observatory, soaking in panoramic city views and discovering hidden corners known only to locals.

Wander through Plaka’s labyrinthine alleys, uncovering treasures like the Bathhouse of the Winds, the Roman Forum, the Fethiye Mosque Museum, and Hadrian’s Library. Your tour concludes at the lively Monastiraki Square, where centuries of history blend with vibrant city life.

This 3.5-hour experience is conducted in small groups of up to 15 people, available in English or Spanish. Entrance tickets to the Acropolis and a self-guided audio tour of Plaka are included if selected. Meet your guide early in Makrygianni and get ready for an unforgettable morning in Athens. Book your spot now to secure early access and beat the crowds!

Good to know

If you have chosen the option without the entrance tickets kindly note that you will need to purchase the tickets before the activity at the time slot of the tour's departure time to ensure that you will be able to enter Acropolis with your group. Kindly note that if you are an EU citizen under 25 years old or a non-EU citizen under 18, you must obtain your free admission ticket online by visiting the official website of the archaeological site. As the monument operates with timed entry slots, there is no guarantee that free tickets will be available for your preferred time slot on the day of your visit. Therefore, we strongly recommend securing your ticket in advance, prior to your tour date. Please note that this tour is of moderate difficulty as the ascendance to the Acropolis, especially during summer, is very demanding and requires intense physical effort.
