    Line was quick. No washrooms when you entered the area. So if you had to pee you had to hold it in the entire time otherwise you'd rush it.

    The guided tour of the Acropolis with Key Tours was exceptionally well organized. Jovana was a fantastic guide—both engaging and incredibly knowledgeable. We truly didn’t want the experience to end!

    Had a few issues with the audio guides. The one for the museum didn't appear. The one for the Parthenon needs updating by actually going there as the paths don't tie up with the commentary. But was useful as far as the content was concerned
  • From the Acropolis to the Ancient Agora, see Athens’ most legendary sites with a guided tour or explore at your own pace with a multilingual audio guide.

    Getting started

    Your visit begins at the Acropolis, where you’ll either meet your guide at the designated entry point or start your self-guided tour with an audio guide. If you’ve chosen a guided tour, your expert will introduce the site's history before leading you through this ancient citadel.

    What to expect

    The Acropolis

    Walk through the Propylaea, the grand gateway to the Acropolis, and soak in sweeping views of Athens. Explore the Parthenon, the crown jewel of classical Greece, as you learn about its construction, famous sculptures, and how it evolved over time.

    Visit the Erechtheion, known for its elegant Caryatid columns, and the Temple of Athena Nike, dedicated to the goddess of victory. Your guide (or audio tour) will share the myths behind these temples, including Athena and Poseidon's legendary rivalry for Athens.

    Head down to the Theater of Dionysus, the birthplace of Greek drama, where ancient playwrights once staged their works. Stop by the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a Roman amphitheater still hosting performances today.

    Acropolis Museum (optional)

    Upgrade your ticket to explore artifacts from the Acropolis, including the original Caryatids, the Parthenon Marbles, and the Frieze of the Parthenon. Visit the museum’s underground excavation, where an ancient Athenian neighborhood is preserved beneath glass floors.

    Additional archaeological sites (optional)

    Depending on your ticket, access up to 6 other archaeological sites:

    • Ancient Agora: The center of Athenian democracy, home to the Temple of Hephaestus.

    • Roman Agora: A later marketplace built under Roman rule, featuring the impressive Tower of the Winds, an ancient weather station.

    • Temple of Olympian Zeus: One of the largest temples of the ancient world, dedicated to Zeus.

    • Hadrian’s Library: A grand Roman-era structure built by Emperor Hadrian.

    • Kerameikos: Athens' ancient cemetery.

    • Aristotle’s Lyceum: The original site of Aristotle’s famous school of philosophy.

    Old Town (Plaka) (optional)

    Opt for an Athens Old Town audio guide to explore Plaka’s historic streets, Byzantine churches, and local tavernas while learning about the city’s evolution.
