Athens: Acropolis Guided Tour with Tickets

Experience one of the world’s most iconic ancient sites — the Acropolis of Athens and the Parthenon — in all their glory. Join a small-group tour for the perfect opportunity to explore the site’s rich history, remarkable architecture, and captivating mythology. Benefit from expert guides who share in-depth knowledge and engaging stories throughout your visit.

Ascend the sacred hill and journey through time. Explore the glory of the classical era, then discover layers of Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman influences. Learn how the site continued to shape Athens right up to the modern day. As you walk, your guide will reveal fascinating stories, ancient rituals, and key historical shifts that made the Acropolis extraordinary.

Visit the Propylaia, the elegant Temple of Athena Nike, and the Erechtheion with its famous Caryatids. Then, stand before the Parthenon, the jewel of the Acropolis and one of the most influential buildings in Western architecture. Hear how this awe-inspiring temple was dedicated to Athena and built during Athens’ Golden Age. Understand why it remains a symbol of democracy, artistic achievement, and spiritual devotion.

From the summit, enjoy sweeping views over Athens. Take in the panorama and see how the city has evolved over nearly 3,000 years.

Your tour concludes at the top. You may choose to keep exploring the Acropolis on your own or descend via the south slope. Along the way, glimpse the Altar of Asclepius and the ancient Theater of Dionysus — the birthplace of Greek drama.
