Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Acropolis, via Dionysiou Areopagitou str., Athens 105 58 Greece
The ancient sanctuary and its monuments are universally the ultimate symbols of the classical spirit and civilization. With its fine artistic and architectural form, the Acropolis is the greatest heritage bequeathed by the Greek Antiquity to the world. In the second half of the fifth century BC, Athens celebrates the significant victory over the Persians and establishes democracy,achieving a leading position amongst the othercity-states of the ancient world. In the years that follow, art and thought flourish and the ambitious Athenian statesman Pericles coordinates aunique group of artists to transform the rocky hill into the exceptional monument also called the “Sacred Rock”. The Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Erechtheionand the temple of Athena are the greatest monuments built during that time.
