What makes Historical Private Tour of Acropolis & Acropolis Museum a unique experience ?
This captivating Acropolis & Acropolis Museum excursion commences at the center of Athens city or hotels. Step into a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle, embarking on a 30-minutes journey through the scenic beauty of Greece.
When touring the Acropolis and Parthenon, visitors typically begin with an 80-minute visit to the Acropolis, where they can see all of the Temples, Theaters, and related buildings, including the Propylaea, Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Temple of Athena Nike, Erechtheum, and the Parthenon.
One of our first stops is the Ancient Theater of Dionysus, built in the 4th & 5th century BC on the slopes of the Acropolis. It is considered the world’s oldest and could hold 25000 people. Many famous Ancient Greek plays had their premieres here.
Propylaea – a parade aisle, a passage formed by porticoes and columns arranged symmetrically to the axis of movement in some section.
Behold the magnificent Classical Ionic Temple, erected in the heart of the Acropolis around 420 BC! Dedicated to the mighty Goddess Athena, this ancient marvel stands tall and proud, commanding attention as it gazes over the sprawling city below. Immerse yourself in its rich history and marvel at its meticulously restored beauty.
The temple is a masterpiece of art, architecture, and engineering from the Golden-Age of Classical Greece. It was the center of ancient Greek worship in Athens and we’ll learn about its construction, mythology, and historical significance.
The Erechtheion, the second largest temple of the Acropolis, was dedicated to Zeus and the Goddess Athens. Your guide will provide information on its mythology and main aspects, including its impressive statues displayed in the museum.
It was built in AD 161 by Herodes Atticus in memory of his Roman wife, Aspasia Annia Regilla. It was originally a steep-sloped theatre with a three-story stone front wall and a wooden roof made of expensive cedar of Lebanon timber. It was used as a venue for music concerts with a capacity of 5,000.
The new Acropolis Museum is located near the Acropolis. It displays original masterpieces, models, videos, and interactive installations. Your guide will show you the most impressive pieces and tell you the stories behind them. The tour of the Acropolis and Museum will help you understand the ‘Golden age’ of Classical Greece. After the tour, your guide will either take you back to the meeting point or you can choose to explore the city on your own.
