Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: National Archaeological Museum, Athens, Attica
The National Archaeological Museum houses countless treasures of ancient civilizations in an enormous neoclassical building. After meeting with your guide, the adventure in the Museum begins! The beautifully presented exhibits are displayed mainly thematically. We will navigate from the Archaic period to the Classical Era and from the Hellenistic to the Roman times. Some of the most important artifacts of antiquity are housed in this museum; the Antikythera Mechanism, thought to be the world’s first computer; the Mask of Agamemnon, one of the most famous golden artefacts of the Greek Bronze Age; the marvellous artefacts of the Artemision shipwreck, found by sponge divers at the bottom of the Aegean Sea.
We will also admire the famous sculpture collection. Exquisite sculptures, pottery, jewelry, frescoes and artifacts… each piece has a beautiful story to tell about ancient Greek society and its people. We will walk through thousands of years of History. It could take several visits to appreciate the Museum's vast holdings, but we have prepared a unique and interactive tour with creative activities that will help you learn without getting tired! At the same time, we will unravel the mysteries and dark secrets behind some of the most famous exhibits!
