Myths and Legends: Acropolis and the Slopes

This tour reveals what the Acropolis was in the ancient times. You will discover the Athenian classical period which was the peak of the Greek civilization through the various myths and legends and through the history and the studying of the monuments. The tour includes a visit to the Archeological site of the Acropolis and to the new Acropolis Museum. Sigmund Freud, when he first climbed on the sacred rock, realized that all of these - the Acropolis itself was real. We quote from "A Disturbant memory of the Acropolis": "When, finally, on the afternoon after our arrival, I stood on the Acropolis and cast my eyes around upon the landscape, a surprising thought suddenly entered my mind: So all this really does exist, just as we learnt at school! If I may make a slight exaggeration, it was as if someone, walking beside Loch Ness, suddenly caught sight of the form of the famous Monster stranded upon the shore and found himself driven to the admission: So it really exists.
