Athens: Acropolis Museum and Acropolis Tour in the Afternoon

Meet your guide and be led to the Acropolis Museum, a modern structure strategically placed to provide visitors with a direct view of the iconic archeological site and one of the main cultural landmarks of Athens.

Follow your guide through the collections and galleries encompassing different epochs of ancient Greek history, including the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods, enriched by a dive into Greek mythology. Highlights feature the Parthenon Marbles, architectural remnants, statues, pottery, and other significant archaeological treasures.

Admire the sunset as you exit the Museum and, after a short refreshment break, make your way to the Acropolis. Enter through the south slope and let your knowledgeable guide unveil the rich history and mythology that envelop the monuments along your route, including the Dionysus Theater, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Asclepius Sanctuary, the Temple of Athena Nike, and, of course, the Parthenon.

Among others, hear about the origins of theater, the power play between two gods over the protection of the city of Athens, as well as the ancient hospitals and their curiously procured remedies.
