Beskrivelse

The late afternoon or early morning hours are perfect to visit Athens' most renowned landmark. With fewer crowds and cooler temperatures, you'll explore the famous Acropolis on this 2-hour small group guided tour.

A licensed guide will enlighten you about Greek gods and heroes as you get up close with the monuments perched atop the Acropolis hill. This 2-hour journey offers a chance to delve into how Athens emerged as one of the world's greatest cities, a beacon of civilisation, and the birthplace of democracy in the 5th century BC.

Your exploration includes all the monuments on the hill: from the Theatre of Dionysus, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, the Propylaia, and the pinnacle of Greek civilisation: the Parthenon.

This tour offers an insight into one of the world's greatest cities and its enduring legacy.

    The tour guide was very knowledgeable and was friendly. The time of day was perfect as it was a little cooler. The walk was slightly strenuous, but not overly so. Important to wear suitable footwear, as, in some places, ground quite uneven. Would recommend.

Half-day private tour of Athens with Acropolis and Plaka visits

The ancient Greeks left behind a treasure trove of monuments, statues and artefacts in Athens. And on this private tour, you'll take in all the top spots with an expert guide. Exclusively for you and your party, you'll tour highlights including the Roman Agora, Hadrian's Library, the Plaka neighbourhood and the UNESCO-listed Acropolis. Vassiliki, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Acropolis means “high city” and it usually refers to any settlement built on top of a hill. You'll find many towns in Greece that have an acropolis, but the Acropolis of Athens is certainly the most famous.'You'll start with a guided tour of the Acropolis – with skip-the-line tickets, there'll be no waiting around. Soak up wow-factor views over Athens at the Areopagus – a rocky hill where legend has it the Greek gods would hold court. Let your guide bring history to life as you marvel at ancient landmarks like the Roman Agora, the Theatre of Dionysus and the still-standing columns of the Asklepieion and Parthenon. Then, it's on to the city's Instagram-worthy old quarter, Plaka – the capital's most appealing and historic neighbourhood. Always thronged with a mix of locals and visitors, the pedestrianised lanes are brimming with tavernas whose tables spill onto the streets. Vassiliki says, ‘Athenians call this area “the neighbourhood of the Gods,' as it has been inhabited since the days of ancient Greece. In fact, excavations show that the street layout has barely changed since antiquity.'
