After exploring the Sacred Hill and its iconic temples, continue with a guided visit to the Acropolis Museum, where original sculptures and artifacts provide essential context to what you’ve just seen. The experience then extends into the city with a guided stroll through Plaka and Anafiotika, two of Athens’ most charming neighborhoods with narrow alleys, neoclassical houses, and island-style pathways.
