Visit the iconic Acropolis

The Acropolis of Athens is the most striking and complete ancient Greek monumental complex still existing in our times. It is situated on a hill of average height (156m) that rises in the basin of Athens. Its overall dimensions are approximately 170 by 350m. The hill is rocky and steep on all sides except for the western side, and has an extensive, nearly flat top. Strong fortification walls have surrounded the summit of the Acropolis for more than 3,300 years. The first fortification wall was built during the 13th century BC, and surrounded the residence of the local Mycenaean ruler. In the 8th century BC, the Acropolis gradually acquired a religious character with the establishment of the cult of Athena, the city’s patron goddess. The sanctuary reached its peak in the archaic period (mid-6th century to early 5th century BC).

 National Archaeological Museum 



 As one of the most important museums in the world and the largest of Greece, the National Archaeological Museum in Athens is an abundant repository of collected artefacts from ancient Greek culture and history. It was originally intended to receive 19th century excavations from Attica and other parts of Greece. But the museum took its present form after gradually becoming enriched with archaeological finds from all parts of the Greek world - and even from Egypt. At the time of the construction of the museum, it was Eleni Tositsa who donated the land upon which the building came to be.

Additional benefactors were Demetrios and Nikolaos Vernardakis, who contributed a large sum for the completion of the museum. Functioning today as a Special Regional Service of the Ministry of Culture, the National Archaeological Museum holds great importance for understanding the culture and history of Greece. Rich with 11,000 exhibits which offer a holistic view of the past, the museum is a valuable centre for historical and cultural study.
