I grew up listening to ancient Greek myths, as both my parents were history teachers. It's been my dream to come to Greece and see the historical sites and monuments for myself. The Acropolis is majestic in its ancient beauty, and I was especially moved by the temple of Athena Nike — it's shocking how well-preserved it still is!
I was backpacking through Greece and decided to visit the Acropolis. The choice to buy an Acropolis ticket in advance was a smart move, as I had priority access and didn't lose time standing in front of the ticket office. The audio guide was really helpful, and I learned so much about ancient Greek history. The price was also good, as I am a student backpacker who travels on a budget.

MARVELOUS MARBLE MONUMENTS
After the devastation of the Persian Wars in the 5th century BC, the Acropolis was left in ruins. A huge rebuilding program followed, during which many temples and monuments were built and decorated using the famous Pentelic marble. Brought from Mt. Pentelicus, this white, fine-grain marble has an interesting property: it shines under the sunlight. That made the Acropolis even more impressive to look at!
EXPLORE THE PARTHENON
The Parthenon stands out as the most imposing structure on the Acropolis. This impressive monument leaves a lasting impression on every visitor. It was dedicated to the goddess Athena, a patron deity of the city, and built during the Golden Age of ancient Athens. Its architects were Iktinos and Callicrates, but it was the statesman Pericles who provided the resources and ordered the rebuilding effort of the entire complex. To learn all about it, make sure you upgrade to the full audio option. It will provide you with a wealth of knowledge without having to pay extra for a live guide.
AN EXTRA AUDIO TOUR IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE
After visiting the Acropolis, take the opportunity to see the original sculptures and artifacts uncovered there, just get a ticket for the Acropolis Museum to view them up close. If you'd like, you can also take a stroll through the Plaka district. This historic and picturesque part of Athens is known for its charming, narrow streets and neoclassical architectural buildings. An informative audio guide in multiple languages is included with your Acropolis Audio Guide Ticket, with no extra cost, and no worries! And once you’ve walked through Plaka, you’ll want more, so consider adding the Bike Tour Athens to your itinerary for a fun, local ride through this historic area and beyond.
PRO TIP
Athenian love for Athena
When walking among the archeological sites of the Acropolis, you may notice that the goddess Athena has more than one temple dedicated to her. The main ones were the Parthenon and the Temple of Athena Nike, but Erechtheion was also partly dedicated to her. If that wasn't enough, a colossal bronze statue was also built in her honor. The so-called 'Athena Promachos', or 'Athena who fights in the front line', was situated between Propylaea and the Parthenon.
Why was that? Why are there so many temples of the same deity in one place? The reason was that they were all dedicated to different aspects of her divine nature. Goddess Athena wasn't just the protector and a symbol of the city. Her name was associated with heroism, victory, wisdom, and skill in warfare. She was also known as an unmarried woman, a virgin, or, in ancient Greek, Parthenos. Notice the resemblance to the word Parthenon?
The Temple of Athena Nike highlighted the victorious nature of the goddess, as the grateful Athenians believed it was her love of their city that ensured their many victories. Erechtheum, also known as the Temple of Athena Polias, literally translates as „Protectress of the City." The citizens of ancient Athens truly felt a deep connection to this deity.
