Highlights
  • Acropolis - Explore the most emblematic monument in all of Greece listed by UNESCO, with an expert and official guide exclusively in Spanish.
    The visit begins with the historical, mythological and cultural context of this wonderful space.
  • Parthenon - We will visit the famous Parthenon listed by UNESCO as one of the most important buildings of antiquity for its perfection and harmony. Built 2,500 years ago, we will discover its optical refinements and all its legends.

We will explain the history of its construction and the phases by which it became a church during the Byzantine period and a mosque during the Ottoman occupation.

We will learn about its decoration and looting up to the restoration work in force.

  • Propylaia - Monumental entrance built entirely of marble to impress the pilgrim of the time and the tourist today.
    Due to its strategic position, the Propylaea functioned as a funnel in times of war thanks to its impressive topography.
    Discover why it was built with different types of columns. Essential point in the history of the Acropolis.

  • Temple of Athena Nike - A true architectural jewel built on the monumental entrance in honor of the goddess Athena Victorious. A work carried out by the Athenians just after the victories obtained against the Persians, it achieves its goal to this day: To remember from generation to generation the most culminating moment of all Greece, the golden age.

  • Erechtheion - It is without a doubt the most photogenic monument in the entire Acropolis thanks to its marvelous female-shaped columns, the Caryatids.
    Built right next to the Parthenon, it was consecrated to various divinities including: Athena, Poseidon and Erectios, the latter for being the first mythological king of Athens.
    Discover its legends and peculiarities. Why is your olive tree so sacred?

  • Herod Atticus Odeon - We will visit the famous Herod the Attic Auditorium with a capacity of 5,000 spectators built by one of the most renowned Roman governors in Athens. Dedicated to his wife Regina, it is today the only fully restored ancient building in use.
    It is here that the most outstanding performances take place every year during the famous festival of Athens.

  • The Temple of Asclepios - Temple dedicated to the god of medicine Asclepius.
    Right in this space we will learn how the ancient Athenians cured patients and the types of votive offerings they gave as thanks.

  • Theatre of Dionysus - One of the oldest theaters in the world built entirely of marble.
    With an incredible capacity of 17,000 spectators, its chosen space on the slope of the Acropolis itself managed to guarantee the maximum desired acoustics.

Excellent guided tour - The visit was very good, the guide made the visit very enjoyable and tells the story in a very entertaining way, the hours of the tour fly by. Although there are many people visiting, as it is a small group, you can listen perfectly to what the guide tells you and enjoy the views. A sure success.

Unbeatable view of the Acropolis with Efi - A guided tour with Efi is highly recommended, not only because it overflows with friendliness but also makes the experience of visiting the Acropolis very educational and enjoyable. It perfectly explains the historical context, giving you a very different vision from what you can read in the guides and even what other tours can show you. Efi exudes passion for her work. I would repeat a thousand times with them.
