Classical Athens · PRIVATE MUSEUM TOUR
Inside the Parthenon
The Acropolis Museum
- 2 hours
- Private tour
- Standalone or combined with the Acropolis visit
The Acropolis Museum is one of the finest museums in the world — and one of the most extraordinary buildings to experience before you even walk through the door.
Combined with a visit to the hill it is the perfect full morning. On its own, it is two hours that change how you see everything else in Athens.
What will you admire
- The building itself — a glass floor above a live excavation, the ancient city still visible beneath your feet
- The Caryatids up close — the six women who have been holding up the Erechtheion for 2,500 years, each one different, each one extraordinary
- The Parthenon frieze — 160 metres of marble narrative wrapping around the entire gallery, the most complete picture of ancient Athenian life ever carved in stone
- The top gallery aligned with the Parthenon above — building and sculptures facing each other across the Athens sky for the first time in centuries
- The moment the hill finally makes complete sense
Ideal for: First-time visitors, art lovers, anyone who wants the Acropolis to tell its whole story.
