The Acropolis is the landmark of Athens. The place where the city got its name after a mythical contest between Athena and Poseidon. Parthenon was the most famous temple in all the antiquity, an architectural wonder that still puzzles the architects. What I love about it is the pure beauty that hides in every detail of the marblework. People in any age enjoy the stories of greek mythology and I can give you an insight. Being an archaeologist, every time I go to Acropolis I remember the time I spent there working in the excavation of the Acropolis museum. Come join me to visit this heritage site together!
Nota's wealth of knowledge was exceptional, providing us with such a rich, learning experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Acropolis and the museum. She navigated us through the site and weaved the story, building upon each of the previous learnings. Highly recommend!
Nota was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Greece and the Acropolis.
Our guide Nota B performed the exceptional by getting us into the Acropolis TOURS after I made a mistake on the ticketing time. Her knowledge and love for her country of Greece came through throughout the tour, and her background with archaeological context, and her descriptions were simply the best. We have had many TOURS BY LOCAL’s and she rates in the top. We thank you NOTA B for sharing your culture and passion for Greece. YOU WILL BE LUCKY TO BOOK HER.
Nota was relaxed, while also conveying a wealth of knowledge, not only about the Acropolis but also about Greek history, real and mythological. She invited questions, gave room for us to share what interested us while also showing us what excited her about particular aspects, features, forms, ideas, philosophies. She was a joy to spend time with and, as my husband said at the conclusion of our tour, we wish we could have adopted her. A delightful person, both serious and humorous, intelligent without being stuffy. We can't recommend her more highly.
A bit daunting. Big crowds, no shade, no rest. Just go, go go. No customization.
Nota helped us understand the history and architecture of the Acropolis and its beautiful museum. She was very respectful and took interests in our diverse group.
-Dionysos theatre. Short stop with some talk about the birth of drama. -Sanctuary of Asclepios, god of healing. -Herodion theatre. Still in use every summer. Perfect spot for photos and a glimpse of the city. - Propylaea and Nike temple. Brief introduction to other visible monuments like Mars hill, ancient Agora and Pnyx. -Parthenon. -Erechtheion, temple. Here is the heart of the Acropolis legends and the sacred olive tree. We will walk around it to see all sides and the famous porch of the maidens supporting the roof. - We will stand on the medieval bastion with the 360° view of Athens -A relaxing 15 min. downhill walk to Acropolis museum. We stroll through all galleries and examine the best pieces with a special mention to the Parthenon sculpture and the " lost" statues.
