What you can expect

See the Acropolis under the setting sun's light on a walking tour with skip-the-line entry. Wander inside the ancient citadel of Athens in the ethereal glow of twilight, when the shadows of the Parthenon grow long, and the old pillars create windows to an otherworldly light.

Meet your licensed guide at Athanasiou Diakou street 16, a few steps from the Acropolis subway and Acropolis south slopes entrance. . Learn about the history of the hilltop, with evidence of habitation stretching back over 6,000 years. Explore the construction of its most famous buildings, including the venerable Parthenon, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheum, and the gateway to the Propylaea.

As the sun sinks into the gulf, the twilight illuminates these ancient buildings in a timeless glow that conjures the spirit of 2,500 years of history. Admire the Theatre of Dionysus, the first theatre of human civilisation, and the healing Temple of Asclepius. Listen as your guide talks about the importance of this place to classical culture in the Western hemisphere.
