VISIT ATHENS IN A DIFFERENT WAY

With a thousand-year-old history, Athens is the birthplace of the western civilization. Its cultural and artistic attraction makes it a must-visit place. This powerful city state was the political and philosophical focus of the Classical Mediterranean, and the Acropolis was the most sacred place of that Athens.

With Past View Athens you have a unique opportunity; travelling hundreds of years to the past to the most splendorous period of the Athenian capital. You will come in through the majestic Propylaea gateway; you will enjoy the original splendour of the Acropolis; you will visit the Parthenon, or the Erechtheion and its Caryatids, just as the Athenians from the classical Greece did; you will even meet in person characters like the priestess of the Parthenon, a Hoplite, or Plato himself.

Past View Athens goes all over the Athenian Acropolis. Besides, it covers both the Classical Greece period, and the period when it was dominated by the Roman Empire.
