Why choose this Athens tour ?
Following the tour from the Kerameikos to the Acropolis Museum you get to see Athens the way an ancient visitor (traveler, merchant, pilgrim etc.) did. We approach the city from the Kerameikos quarter and stand in front of the Dipylon, the monumental gate of the city. From here we follow the Panathenaic avenue that crosses the Agora with the most important public buildings and start climbing the Acropolis hill to arrive on top, to the monumental area of the Acropolis. The visit comes to its end in the modern Acropolis Museum, among the masterpieces of art that once decorated the monuments of the Acropolis and the sculptures of Feidias from the Parthenon!
