The Acropolis of Athens & Parthenon: Private 2-hour Walking Tour
Overview
Explore the mesmerizing ancient ruins of the Acropolis and Parthenon of Athens on a two-hour privately guided walking tour of this ancient citadel built high upon a rocky hill.
Be transported back in time 2500 years to the golden age of classical Greek civilization, the birthplace of Western democracy, in the city dedicated to the Goddess Athena. Learn all about daily life in this incredible ancient citadel - with its complex of monumental temples, theatres, and civic buildings. Walk through the ruins and hear about the poets and dramatists and mathematicians whose names echo down the centuries: Homer, Pythagoras, Sophocles, and others!
Admire the majestic Parthenon with the beautiful Caryatid columns, and learn all about its incredible optical illusions.
