Acropolis

The Athenian Acropolis is the most famous archaeological site in Greece and a prominent symbol of Western Civilization. If you are visiting Athens you must experience a stroll on the Athenian Acropolis and admire some of the greatest achievements of ancient Greek architecture. These buildings were constructed during the Golden Age of Pericles when the citizens of Athens spared no expense to glorify their city with everlasting monuments. They include the monumental Gateway, known as the Propylaea, and three temples: the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike. The east and south sides of the summit also offer breath-taking panoramic views of the lower city, where some of the most important landmarks of Athens are located.

Propylaea

Included in the Acropolis archaeological site - Although the monumental gateway to the Acropolis was by definition a functional building, its architect Mnesicles was able to imbue it with the grandeur of a temple. Despite its irregular plan, the structure harmoniously combines architectural elements from the two main orders of ancient Greece - the Ionic and the Doric order. Several of its features were inspired by the Parthenon itself. The Propylaia is widely considered one of the most elegant architectural examples in the world.

Parthenon

Included in the Acropolis archaeological site - The temple dedicated to Athena the Virgin, known as the Parthenon, stands out as the centerpiece of the Periclean building program. More than just a house for the gold-and-ivory statue of Athena created by Pheidias or a treasury, the Parthenon was the material expression of the artistic and ideological visions of the people of Athens at the peak of their glory. Despite being relentlessly mutilated and plundered over the ages, the Parthenon still retains much of its initial grace. Join us for a tour to discover what makes the Parthenon so unique and why it is considered the most perfect ancient Greek temple.
