What's included in Acropolis 'GOLDEN-HOUR' Private Tour with Licensed Expert Guide
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Acropolis
MEETING OUR GUIDE. Your guide will be waiting at Makrygianni Street at the Acropolis Metro stop which is just around the corner from the Acropolis Main Entrance. Our tour visits the Acropolis either in the morning and afternoons 'Golden-Light' period, to both get ahead of the coach tours and heat of the day, but also to experience the lights effects on the Monuments of the Acropolis. The special light at this time heightens the honey-colored hues of the ancient temple's marble, as well as being the best light in which to experience some beautiful panoramic views over Athens.
Teatro Di Dioniso
Still in a good state of preservation, one of our first stops is the Ancient THEATER OF DIONYSUS. Built in the 4th & 5th century BC in a natural amphitheater o nthe slopes of the Acropolis it would have had an impressive capacity of 25000, it is considered the world's oldest. Amazing to think that many of the most famous Ancient Greek plays would have had their original premieres here!
Propylaea
Ascend towards the monumental gateway (Propylaia) and entrance to the Acropolis. As the Temples of the Acropolis come into view, the Ancient Greeks would have been greeted by an enormous decorated Bronze Statue of the Goddess Athena. As legend has it, the tip of her upheld spear could be seen by incoming ships in the sunlight.
