Wayne's Birthday in Greece

There is an old Greek saying that goes along the lines of 'When God wanted to recreate Heaven on Earth; he made Greece', and it's easy to see why. Your trip will see you discovering Ancient Greek sites filled with history, wandering through Greek streets to try all the fantastic food on offer, spending time with each other as a family; and ending your trip on the Mediterranean beaches & isles.

Day 2: The Acropolis
🏛️
Tour Of The Acropolis
  • Departure Time: Morning
  • Meeting Point: Hotel Lobby
  • Contact Number: will be provided
  • Duration: 4 hours


The Acropolis is the most important ancient site in the Western world. Crowned by the Parthenon, it stands sentinel over Athens, visible from almost everywhere within the city. Its monuments and sanctuaries of white Pentelic marble gleam in the midday sun and gradually take on a honey hue as the sun sinks, while at night they stand brilliantly illuminated above the city. A glimpse of this magnificent sight can not fail to exalt your spirit.

The Acropolis became a World Heritage-listed site in 1987. The Museum was founded to exhibit all the significant finds from the Sacred Rock and its foothills. It was designed by architect Bernard Tschumi with Michael Photiadis and inaugurated in the summer of 2009. The Museum hosts its collections across three levels, as well as in the archaeological excavation that lies at its foundations.

  • Note: This is a tour with a private guide.

👉

Please note that the walk up the Acropolis Hill is part of the experience of visiting this incredible ancient site. Consider the astounding number of people who have walked the same path through millennia. In fact, all the buildings you see on the Acropolis were built or rebuilt during the 500-300 B.C. As a result, the marble steps are very shiny and slick. Additionally, don’t forget to wear a pair of comfortable walking shoes and absolutely avoid wearing flip flops. Sunblock, sunglasses, and a
hat are a must. Lastly, don’t forget to bring a water bottle and lots of energy!
