In September, the weather in Greece is typically warm and pleasant, marking the transition from the hot summer months to the milder autumn season. Average daytime temperatures usually range from 24°C to 28°C (75°F to 82°F) in most regions, though it can be warmer in southern areas and on some islands. The evenings are cooler, with temperatures often dropping to around 17°C to 20°C (63°F to 68°F), making it comfortable for outdoor dining and evening strolls. The sea remains warm, ideal for swimming, and there is plenty of sunshine, with only occasional rain showers.

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!

Enjoy an afternoon massage at GB Spa, offering a diverse selection of treatments to choose from.

• Time For Both: Late afternoon (please arrive 10 minutes prior)
