Info

The social programme includes a journey back to the classical era (visit to the Acropolis archaeological site and the New Museum of Acropolis). The Acropolis of the fifth century BC is the most accurate reflection of the splendor, power and wealth of Athens at its greatest peak, the golden age of Perikles. The most important buildings visible on the Acropolis today are: the Parthenon, the Propylaia, the Erechtheion and the temple of Athena Nike. The Acropolis Museum is an archaeological museum focused on the findings of the archaeological site of the Acropolis of Athens. The collections of the museum are exhibited on three levels. On the first level of the museum there are the findings of the slopes of the Acropolis. Then, the visitor is found at the large trapezoidal hall which accommodates the archaic findings. On the same floor there are also the artifacts and sculptures from the other Acropolis buildings such as the Erechtheum, the Temple of Athena Nike and the Propylaea and findings from Roman and early Christian Athens. However, the visitor is intended to see the latter during descent so as to keep the chronological order because he will first be directed to the last level of Parthenon marbles. The Parthenon hall has the same orientation with the temple on the Acropolis and the use of glass allows the natural light to enter. Our journey will be completed with an optional dinner in the area around Acropolis.
