Acropolis and its museum half day walking city tour

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!
