What To Expect

Acropolis

The first stop of your tour will be the renowned symbol of our civilization—the Acropolis. Immerse yourself in the ancient wonders as you explore the Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, the Caryatids, the Herodion theater, the ruins of the Theater of Dionysus, and Areopagus (the Mars Hill). This visit promises a profound journey into the heart of Greek history and culture, unveiling the architectural marvels that have withstood the test of time.While there is evidence that the hill was inhabited as far back as the fourth millennium BC, it was Pericles (c. 495 – 429 BC) in the fifth century BC who coordinated the construction of the site’s most important buildings including the Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Erechtheion and the Nike Temple. A very important place for the antiquity and today.
