Walk Around Acropolis Hill and Pnyx in Athens
- Meet your tour guide at the Acropolis Museum. As you gather at the museum, your guide will provide context and background information, setting the stage for an enriching experience ahead.
- Start walking up Acropolis Hill, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you'll be transported back to the Golden Age of Pericles and witness the grandeur of the monuments that once adorned this historic hill.
- Listen to fascinating explanations about Herodium Odeon, the ancient theatre, and its role in entertainment during that era.
- Continue and learn about the world of Greek drama and its impact on society at the Dionysius Theatre.
- Stop before the Propylaea and enjoy an excellent outside view of the Temple of Wingless Nike and the Ancient Agora, where Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle introduced great philosophical schools.
- Walk with your guide to the top of the Propylaea. From here, see the breathtaking Parthenon and the Erechtheion Temple opposite it, where the Karyatides stood instead of columns to support the roof.
- Visit Pnyx Hill, the birthplace of Democracy, and gain insights into how it shaped the governance of the time.
