“The highlight of our trip to Athens, both the Acropolis and the museum were impressive. The views from the acropolis were also wonderful to see with Athens spread out 370 degrees. The design of the museum to represent the size and orientation of the acropolis with views out to the real site was fabulous - all the decorative elements are displayed there. Wish we’d had more time so we could have explored the excavations underneath (included in museum ticket and can be partially viewed through the glass floor of museum). Our tour was brought to life by a personal guide called Lisa booked though Warm Penguin. Would definitely recommend her.…”
