The sacred rock of Acropolis–The New Acropolis Museum– Plaka, Athens’ jewel: Discover Athens’ 2.500 years history and nature

Your lifetime cultural and natural experience begins with the New Acropolis museum, one of the finest and most exciting museums in the world. Home to masterpieces of Archaic and Classical art, that once belonged to the Sacred Rock, Acropolis, the museum is a place of learning and a symbol of Greece’s role as a treasurer of world heritage. Your destination angels, an experienced scientist and a certified guide–archaeologist will share with you unique inside information about the culture, history and natural charms of Athens through the New museum of Acropolis and Acropolis sacred rock.

 

Acropolis: a monument you’re not going home without visiting. The symbol of Athens, perched upon the Sacred Hill (as it’s known to Athenians) for more than 2,500 years. You’ll recognise the Parthenon, dedicated to the goddess Athena and built as the focal point of Pericles’ grand reconstruction project for Athens in the 5th century BC, but you’ll also marvel at the craftsmanship of buildings such as the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike.

 

During this experience you will discover both the cultural and natural side of the historic district of Athens. Walk on the rock of Acropolis discovering its geological structure and see beyond the human time scale. Admire the world-famous white marble of Acropolis and the impressive pigments used for the statues and the clothes of Athenians.
