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
“Our Guide Micheal was very knowledgeable and entertaining, the whole tour ran smoothly and we all enjoyed the experience”
“John the Archaeologist did an outstanding job of explaining the history of everything related to the Acropolis. We would tour with him again.”
“How refreshing it was to experience Dora explain the development and progression of the Parthenon Athens. Navigating up the south side and meandering effortlessly around the artefacts and upwards was a rare treat. Great job!”
