About this experience

Arrive at Porinou 5, 11742 inside the tour office to meet your licensed guide, an experienced archaeologist, and then start your unique combination of a tour. Enter from the south slope of the Acropolis and set off on your leisurely walking tour of some of the world’s finest monuments. Visit the Theater of Dionysus — an amphitheater that is arguably the birthplace of performing arts. Perch yourself on one of the stone seats to imagine the sights and sounds experienced by ancient theatergoers who came to watch plays by Greek writers Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. The theater is still used today during the Athens Festival from May to October. Once you familiarize yourself with the site's classical architecture, head indoors to the New Acropolis Museum, ranked one of the top five museums in the world. The New Acropolis Museum features collections of statues and other artifacts from everyday life in several galleries. Finish your tour with a selection of Greek tastes.
