Private Acropolis Tour for small groups

Two hours filled with interesting and educative information about one of the most important archeological sites in the world, the Sacred Rock of Acropolis, is the essence of this tour. Our tour will begin with a visit to the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, best known for its exemplary acoustics, where the Athens festival, the annual arts festival takes place to this day. We will then explore the Temple of the Goddess of Victory, called Nike, enjoy the remarkably beautiful nesting sensation within the magnificent gate of Propylaea, discover where the first Temple of the Acropolis used to exist, meet in person the famous Karyatides, the women figured statues who stand both magisterially and affectionately in the portico of the Erechtheon Temple supporting its intricate ceiling throughout the centuries. And finally we will have the chance to discover all the secrets of the architecture and the decoration of the masterpiece of the classical antiquity, the breathtaking Parthenon! This is a tour that every citizen of the world should experience at least once in his lifetime.
