Activity Info

Beat the heat and the crowds by accessing the Acropolis early in the morning with your expert guide on this small-group tour. Meet your guide at Key Tours office, and reach the south slope of the Acropolis, where you will admire the Dionysus Sanctuary and Dionysus Theater. Walk up the hill leading to the Acropolis significant site and have your camera ready for snapping photos of the historical monuments of Acropolis, including the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the Pedestal of Agrippa.

Having explored the Acropolis site and going downhill, you will admire significant sights of the capital of Greece, including the Ancient Agora and the National Observatory of Athens. Then, you will enter and walk through the unique district of the city, Plaka. For a while, forget the city sounds. Go around Anafiotika, the topmost neighborhood of Plaka and discover with your guide its tranquil, picturesque, and mystic hidden corners. Stroll around the innumerable little alleys and admire the old whitewashed mansions with the carved wooden or imposing iron doors and the colorful painted shutter. Find hidden gems of unspoiled beauty and magnificent views and learn secrets unknown even to many Athenians.

After a while, you will arrive at the Bathhouse of the Winds, the only public bath of Athens surviving at the present days. It dates from the first period of Turkish rule (1453 – 1669) and stands near the Roman forum and the Tower of the Winds. Passing by the Roman Forum, the Fethiye Mosque Museum and the Hadrian's Library, you will end up at Monastiraki Square, perhaps the oldest surviving square of the city.

After the end of the tour, you can visit the flea market, one of the best places to buy just about anything or continue strolling and enjoy your lunch or your coffee at one of the little, picturesque shops, creating memories of a lifetime.

We enjoyed the tour and would definitely choose it again. We had a great morning, but we were also lucky that there are not too many tourists in February. P.S. Angela is great!

Die Führung mit Angela war wirklich gut! Ich war nur für ein kurzes Wochenende Athen. Diese Führung bietet einen tollen Einblick in die Geschichte der Akropolis. Angela hat ein unglaubliches Wissen und die Führung durch die Akropolis und Plaka war ein wirklich lohnenswertes Programm!

Visiting Acropolis was my lifelong dream, book a tour, do not go on your own. The meeting point for the tour was easy to find, right next to Acropolis metro station. I would rebook this tour if i ever come back to Athens.

Amazing experience! I enjoyed the Acropolis visit, the steps were hard to climb but the view was worth it. It's a once in your lifetime kind of experience. The visit in the neighborhood of Plaka was equally nice, with narrow picturesque streets and beautiful archaeological sites. The only downside was how crowded the Parthenon was, which is to be expected.

100% worthy of five stars! We had our own listening devices to listen to the guide which made it much easier to move around  Acropolis without missing a word considering how crowded it was. The guide was friendly, helpful and very informative.
