The monuments on the plateau, the theaters on the slope, the city at the foot of the rock and the rock seen from across Athens. Every photograph comes from the operators whose tours we list. Browsing acropolis tours athens greece first? Most of these places are on the route.

The first frames are the plateau. The Parthenon appears from below and from its corner, then across the open rock with the Erechtheion beyond it. The Caryatids stand on their porch of the Erechtheion. The Propylaea, the gateway every visitor climbs through, frames the Temple of Athena Nike on its bastion.

Next come the slopes and the sites a longer tour adds: the Odeon of Herodes Atticus on the south slope, a gallery of the Acropolis Museum with the rock in its glass wall, the Temple of Hephaestus above the Ancient Agora, the columns of Olympian Zeus and the marble Panathenaic Stadium that the driver tours stop at. Then the city: Plaka's lanes, Monastiraki Square and the old town roofs. The last frames show the rock from a distance, in daylight and floodlit at dusk.
