Raised on myths and philosophy, the ancient Greeks were always enthralled by female deities. The Goddess Athena loomed especially large in people’s minds, believed to have won a contest against Poseidon for the patronage of the city, by bestowing upon its people the perfect offering: an olive tree. The fruit provided sustenance, the oil fueled lamps to banish the darkness and the precious wood was used to build houses and ships to conquer the sea. It’s no wonder the Parthenon, Greece’s most emblematic monument, was largely a testament to the power she held over the ancient world.

In reality, no one really knows what came first: the city of Athens or the myth of the Goddess Athena. In many ways, the Acropolis is still a mystery and the best way to explore it is at your leisure.

The Acropolis Experience now offers visitors the exclusive opportunity to enjoy this perfect architectural expression of the Greek spirit in private. From 7 am or 8 to 10pm, you can get the entire Acropolis complex to yourself, with plenty of time to enjoy the sunrise or the sunset with the best views of the city. This exclusive service is only available to 4 groups of maximum 5 people for each group, at a time and includes a personal tour guide and a precious memento, a licensed reproduction of an ancient Greek artifact that will allow you to take a taste of classical antiquity home with you.
