Full description

Start on the Acropolis with a licensed archaeologist-guide, who walks you through the Propylaea, the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike and explains how and why they were built.

Then walk down to the Acropolis Museum, where the original Caryatids, the Archaic statues and the Parthenon frieze gallery bring the hill’s story to life. Seeing the site first and the sculptures second makes both make more sense. Entry tickets can be added to your quote.
