In this walking tour, we will discover together the beauty of the ancient city through a visit to its most emblematic monument, the Acropolis, and one of the world's most renowned museums, the Acropolis Museum. Our goal is to gain an insight into not only the historical importance of the Acropolis as the religious center of the city for centuries but also its contemporary overtones and significance as the modern city's reference point. As we explore the site we will discuss history, architecture, myth, and religion, all paragons that shaped the Ancient Greek culture, thought, and imagery. By the end of the tour, you will gain an overall understanding of the city's long history, as recorded by its most important monument.
The tour will start with a visit to the Acropolis Hill. We will cover the main buildings such as the imposing gates the so-called "Propylaia", the stunning Temple of Athena Nike, the most elaborate of all temples Erectheion, and the striking for its harmonious architecture Parthenon. Then, we will head our way down to the southern slope of the hill to pass by the city's ancient hospital, the temple of Asclepius, the healing god, to finally visit the theatre of Dionysus, where Ancient Greek drama was born. Next, we visit the Acropolis Museum to discuss the evolution of sculpture through the remains of the decoration of the buildings that are still standing on the Acropolis.
