Things to do in Acropolis of Athens
The Acropolis of Athens is a unique place in the world, one of the few where the history of mankind seems to revive, inebriating the present with its ancient scent. Visiting the Acropolis, symbol of Athens, means to remain amazed and enchanted at the sight of the sum of the ideal classical beauty.
Built on a rock which rises to 156 meters above sea level, the Acropolis (from the Greek "high city") was the religious heart of the Greek capital. Actually its history has even deeper roots: the rocky outcrop was the site of fortifications and the prince’s residence in the Mycenaean age. In the first half of the sixth century B.C. it ceased to be a fortress and became a place of worship, housing the temple dedicated to the local deities.

Reviews Acropolis of Athens
“This tour was spectacular because: 1) Tour guide John the Archaeologist made the tour! He was passionate/ knowledgeable/ an advocate/ humorous! My VERY opinionated/tough critic stepdaughter even liked him & the tour!!!) 2) 8AM option-cooler temps, crowds hit as we were leaving 3) small group”
“Lydia was a really informative tour guide, sharing lots of information about what we were seeing and how things have changed. She made sure the group kept together with less mobile members. And despite some technical difficulties with the headsets she kept us engaged throughout the trip”
“Our Guide Micheal was very knowledgeable and entertaining, the whole tour ran smoothly and we all enjoyed the experience”
