Full description

Designed to reach the hilltop before the busiest part of the day, this tour enters at the main gate and heads straight toward the Parthenon and the Erechtheion, where a licensed guide explains their history and myths. The route then loops to the southern side, passing the sanctuary of Asclepius, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the Theater of Dionysus.

You can stay on the hill after the guided portion for photographs and further exploration. Earpieces, a city map and a guide magazine are provided.

Security checks and some waiting can still occur.

Reviews

Michelle – United States | September 5, 2026 Michelle’s group entered first with Aigli and photographed the Parthenon before crowds arrived. Helpful background, shaded pauses and advice about slippery surfaces made the early start worthwhile.
