About

Be among the first to enter the ancient Acropolis and head straight for the mighty Parthenon. No crowds, no selfie sticks – just your small group in the home of Athena. Your guide will share its millennia-spanning story and reveal some of its secrets, like why it has never been replicated.

Once the great ruin begins to echo with the footsteps of tourists, explore sites further downhill, like the Erechtheum, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the Theater of Dionysus, the world’s oldest theater.
