Meet your guide at the New Acropolis Museum, or at your nearby hotel if preferred. Begin by walking on the museum’s glass floor, peering down at the ancient city below, before exploring exhibits and catching unique views of the Parthenon through the glass walls. For those who prefer not to climb, this is the next best way to experience the Acropolis’ majesty.
Next, ascend Acropolis Hill, stopping at the Herodion Theater, Pnyka, Philopappos Hill, Marsh Hill / Areopagus, Temple of Nike, Propilaia, Erechtheion, and the Parthenon itself. For guests avoiding the climb, the alternative route through the Ancient Agora provides a relaxed exploration of Athens’ historical heart.
Descend into Plaka and Monastiraki, wandering charming streets with neoclassical buildings, local shops, and the bustling flea market. Optional hidden highlights can be added to tailor the tour to your interests, making your experience uniquely yours.
