Acropolis and Ancient Athens Tour
Overview of the tour in Athens
Our tour will start at 8:15 am visiting the Acropolis and it'll start from the South slope, avoiding the main entrance that is always more crowded. Our licensed tour guide will explain the most interesting legends of the archaeological site while we're visiting all the monuments.
See the temple of the Parthenon and the Propylaea. Visit the Theater of Dionysus. Marvel at the Erechtheum and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. Take a look at the stone carvings of the Caryatids and the Temple of Athena Nike. After the guided tour of the Acropolis, you'll have free time to take all the photos you want before starting the second part of our visit.
At 11:00 am we will meet in the Gate of Athena Archegetis to visit the interior of the Roman Agora and Library of Hadrian and the exterior of the Ancient Agora, Hadrian's Arch, and Temple of Zeus. We'll talk about history, mythology, and endless curiosities about its ancient culture and society.

From that moment on, you will have 5 days to enter the rest of the monuments without time restrictions.
