Come chase gods and heroes! This is a golden opportunity for families to explore the true roots of Greek mythology with a unique activity tour. You'll visit the city's most significant sites: the Acropolis (including the Parthenon, the Theater of Dionysus, the Temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion) and the Ancient Pnyx (birthplace of democracy and a hangout spot for nymphs and muses), while learning about Greek gods and heroes in a fun and engaging way!

  • Fun & educational activity material for kids
  • Licensed guide

Your meeting point is at the exit of the Acropolis metro station. The closest metro station is ACROPOLIS. If you get there by metro, follow the signs for the exit “Makriyani/Dionisiou Aeropagitou”. It might be busy, so look for the guide with an Alternative Athens Sign.

If your hotel is in central Athens and within 10–15 minutes of the tour’s starting point, your guide will meet you directly at your hotel. Otherwise, you will meet your guide at the location arranged with your travel designer.
