Enjoy a well-paced guided walk uphill to admire the elegance of the temple of Athena Nike and the grand scale of the Propylaea marble entrance, as you contemplate in the adjacent picturesque hills of Philoppapos, Pnyx and the Areopagus. Reach the top of the hill to discover the astonishing size and architecture of the Parthenon, the most reputed temple of the Greek antiquity, dedicated to goddess Athena.
