Your tour begins at the South Slopes entrance of the Acropolis, from where you’ll set out to experience the archaeological site of the theater of Dionysus. Listen to the stories of the playful god of the vine and learn about the birth of ancient Greek tragedy before you continue to explore the relics of the Asclepieion.

As you walk along the ancient Peripatos, you’ll stumble upon the stunning Odeon of Herodes of Atticus. Climbing the great staircase that has been the way into the Acropolis for centuries, you will have a view of the temple of Athena Nike, aka Victory, standing as a reminder of the defensive role of the citadel.

Saving the best for the end, you will explore the Parthenon, the source of countless tales about ruthless kings, fearless goddesses, and loyal maidens. Concluding your walk at the western side of the temple, you will experience the unparalleled excellence of ancient Greek architecture, finding out that, despite all appearances, the Parthenon is actually a pyramid.

Ateenan yksityinen puolipäiväretki sisältäen Akropoliin ja Plakan

Antiikin kreikkalaiset jättivät Ateenaan muistomerkkien, patsaiden ja esineiden aarreaitan. Tällä yksityiskierroksella tutustut oppaan johdolla kaikkiin tärkeimpiin nähtävyyksiin. Kohokohtiin kuuluvat roomalainen Agora, Hadrianuksen kirjasto, keskiaikainen Plakan kaupunginosa ja Unescon maailmanperintöluettelossa oleva Akropolis. Vassiliki, yksi asiantuntevista paikallisoppaistamme, kertoo: "Akropolis tarkoittaa "korkeaa kaupunkia", ja sillä viitataan yleensä mihin tahansa kukkulan huipulle rakennettuun asutukseen. Kreikassa on monia kaupunkeja, joissa on akropolis, mutta Ateenan akropolis on varmasti niistä tunnetuin."Aloitat opastetulla kierroksella akropoliilla, jonne pääset jonon ohi sisään. Ihaile näkymiä Areiopagilta – kukkulalta, jossa kreikkalaiset jumalat legendan mukaan pitivät hovia. Anna oppaasi herättää historia henkiin, samalla kun ihailet antiikin maamerkkejä, kuten roomalaista agoraa, Dionysoksen teatteria sekä Asklepieionin ja Parthenonin yhä pystyssä olevia pylväitä. Sen jälkeen matka jatkuu Plakaan, joka on pääkaupungin viehättävin ja historiallisin kaupunginosa. Sen mutkittelevat kävelykadut kuhisevat sekä paikallisista ja vierailijoista, ja siellä on lukuisia tavernoita, joiden pöydät levittäytyvät kaduille. Vassiliki sanoo: "Ateenalaiset kutsuvat tätä aluetta "jumalten asuinalueeksi", sillä se on ollut asuttu jo antiikin Kreikan ajoista lähtien. Itse asiassa kaivaukset osoittavat, että alue ei ole juurikaan muuttunut antiikin ajoista."
