What to expect
Celebrated as the most impressive structure of classical Athens, the Propylaea, the majestic entranceway to the hill, invites you to take a leap into the Golden Age of Athens and walk in the shoes of legendary personalities, such as Socrates, whose stories still excite our imagination.
On the north side of the hill, opposite the Parthenon, the peculiar temple of the Erechtheion, was home to many divine ancestors, including a snake that enjoyed eating honey cakes. Discover the spot where Athena contested the patronage of Athens with Poseidon and listen to the legends about the first king’s mythic origins.
Parthenon
The Parthenon is the perfect embodiment of the aesthetics and ideals of classical Athens. Listen to the stories about the great minds who envisioned and constructed the temple and learn about the optical illusions that brilliantly fiddle with the viewer’s perception.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
