Acropolis

Discover with Greece Private Transfer the most important buildings and monuments of Athens and enjoy time traveling from antiquity to today! We start your tour with a visit to the famous Acropolis, the most important ancient site of Western civilization, a trademark of the city and the number one attraction in Athens. Entering the archaeological site, we see the complex of the Propylaea. In front of the right wing is the small temple of Athena Nike. The gaze of all, however, is drawn by the Parthenon, a temple made almost entirely of Pentelic marble, dedicated to Athena Virgo, inside of which was its golden-ivory statue. Right across from the Parthenon, on the north side of the Acropolis stands the Erechtheion, the temple of the famous Caryatians, where six marble daughters replace the columns. Exiting the archaeological site on the right, there is a rock, the Arios Pagos, the seat of the most ancient court in Athens. Climb the stairs and enjoy the city's view from above.
