L'Acropole d'Athènes (en grec ancien : ἡ Ἀκρόπολις τῶν Ἀθηνῶν, romanisé : hē Akropolis tōn Athēnōn ; en grec moderne : Ακρόπολη Αθηνών, romanisé : Akrópoli Athinón) est une ancienne citadelle située sur un éperon rocheux au-dessus de la ville d'Athènes, en Grèce, et contient les restes de plusieurs bâtiments anciens d'une grande importance architecturale et historique, le plus célèbre étant le Parthénon.
L'Odéon d'Hérode Atticus est un superbe théâtre de pierre situé sur le versant sud-ouest de l'Acropole à Athènes. Construit en 161 après J.-C. par le sénateur romain Hérode Atticus en mémoire de son épouse, il était à l'origine recouvert d'un toit en bois et pouvait accueillir environ 5 000 spectateurs. Encore utilisé aujourd'hui pour des concerts et des spectacles, il est l'un des plus beaux exemples de l'architecture antique du théâtre romain en Grèce.
Le Théâtre de Dionysos (ou Théâtre de Dionysos, grec: Θέατρο του Διονύσου) est un théâtre grec antique à Athènes. Il est construit sur le versant sud de la colline de l'Acropole, faisant à l'origine partie du sanctuaire de Dionysos Eleuthereus
Le Parthénon (/ˈpɑːrθəˌnɒn, -nən/ ; grec ancien : Παρθενών, romanisé: Parthenōn [par.the.nɔ̌ːn]; grec : Παρθενώνας, romanisé: Parthenónas [parθeˈnonas]) est un ancien temple sur l'Acropole athénienne, en Grèce, qui était dédié à la déesse Athéna. Ses sculptures décoratives sont considérées comme certains des hauts lieux de l'art grec classique, et le Parthénon est considéré comme un symbole durable de la Grèce antique, de la démocratie et de la civilisation occidentale.
Le temple d'Héphaïstos est l'un des temples grecs antiques les mieux conservés, situé dans l'Agora antique d'Athènes. Dédié à Héphaïstos, le dieu du feu et de l'artisanat, il a été construit vers 449 avant J.-C. à l'apogée de l'Empire athénien. Le temple présente l'architecture dorique classique et offre un aperçu remarquable de la religion et de l'architecture grecques antiques.
La Stoa d'Attalos est un grand bâtiment à deux étages à colonnades de l'ancienne Agora d'Athènes, construit à l'origine au IIe siècle avant J.-C. par le roi Attalos II de Pergame. Restauré dans les années 1950, il abrite aujourd'hui le musée de l'ancienne Agora. La stoa servait de passerelle couverte et de zone commerciale dans l'Antiquité et se présente comme un exemple parfait de l'architecture hellénistique et de la vie publique dans l'Athènes classique.
L'ancienne Agora d'Athènes (également appelée Agora classique) est l'exemple le plus connu d'une agora grecque antique, située au nord-ouest de l'Acropole et limitée au sud par la colline de l'Aréopage et à l'ouest par la colline connue sous le nom d'Agoraios Kolonos, également appelée Market Hill.L'Agora a été initialement utilisé pour un lieu de rassemblement commercial, d'assemblée ou résidentiel

Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. She moved us through the crowds effectively and always found some shade to provide us with some information.
My husband and I booked Athens Walks for a walking tour of the Acropolis and Ancient Agora while visiting Athens on vacation. Booking the tour was very easy, and the price was very reasonable. From start to finish, the company really knows what they’re doing. Once we arrived at the meeting location, we received our listening devices and met our guide, Angel. From there, it was just a short walk to the Acropolis. Angel was truly amazing! She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Greek history, and it was a pleasure listening to her. She had a wonderful way of bringing the history to life and making everything we were seeing so much more meaningful. It was extremely crowded and hot that day, but Angel did a great job making sure we stayed together and found shade whenever possible. She was attentive, organized, and genuinely caring throughout the entire tour. We were so glad we booked this tour because experiencing the Acropolis and Ancient Agora with a knowledgeable guide like Angel made all the difference. She truly brought the history to life for us, and we would highly recommend Athens Walks to anyone visiting Athens!
