The Parthenon is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. Construction began in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the peak of its power

Incredible experience
Amazing!! Anni was a wealth of knowledge! She was a prefect guide to a world we learn so much more about. Would do this again!’
Worth every penny and then some...
Mr. Stelios shared his impressively deep knowledge of Greek history, archeology, art and politics in an engaging and fun manner. Facts and figures were always interwoven with an insightful narrative that brought the history of the sites we visited to life. We were promised a 4 hour tour of the Acropolis and its museum, but were treated to nearly five hours. Extremely pleased.
Amazing private tour!
Our guide was a great teacher. So glad we planned for late afternoon and missed most of the crowds. The museum was very quite. Our dinner was included and was fair. The wine was delicious after a long hike up and down the Acropolis.
