Acropolis visit to be done in the morning
A must-do! Our guide was excellent and made the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and especially the museum visit much more lively and interesting. Her explanations allowed us to better understand all the historical richness of the sites. So much to take in in a short time! We highly recommend booking early in the morning to avoid the heat and fully enjoy the visit.
