Overview
Take a trip to The Acropolis on your Greece Vacation
The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on an outcrop above the city of Athens. It is home to ancient buildings of immense historical and architectural significance, the most famous of which is the Parthenon. The hill has been inhabited since the 4th millennium BC. The Acropolis was a residence of kings, a home to gods, a Christian church, and an Islamic mosque. It underwent major renovations in the mid-20th century.
The Acropolis includes the hill and its several buildings together, which include the Parthenon, Erechtheion, Temple of Nike, and Propylaea. Iconic landmarks here include the Odeon of Herodes, an ancient theatre, the ancient Agora of Athens, the best-known example of an ancient Greek agora, and the Stoa of Eumenes, a two-aisled walkway. The Acropolis Museum, located just 984 ft (300 m) away, houses every artifact found on the rock and surrounding areas, from the Greek Bronze Age to Roman and Byzantine Greece. The Acropolis can get crowded, and more so during peak season. Starting early can help you avoid the crowds. As you'll be exploring on foot, wear comfortable shoes and carry a water bottle to stay hydrated.

What do the experts say?
Locals don’t rush—whether it's dinner at 10:00 p.m. or a three-hour coffee. The best way to experience Greece is to match its rhythm and let moments stretch out.
Delphi isn’t just a historical site—it’s deeply spiritual. Standing where the Oracle once spoke, you feel this pulse of ancient energy still alive in the stones
Athens is like a living labyrinth—layered, electric, and full of stories if you know where to look. Once you’ve seen the major landmarks, get lost in places like Psiri and Koulaki for a real local vibe
Goway’s supplier will handle the entire trip once guests arrive in Greece—it’s white-glove service from start to finish
It’s fairly easy to travel between islands by plane or ferry, but I love renting a dune buggy once I’m there—it’s more fun than taxis.

Dear Goway Travel Team!
I wanted to reach out and share some well-deserved praise for Jacqueline, who has assisted me closely with several of my travels. She recently curated a trip for me to Croatia, the beautiful islands, and Montenegro, and it was an absolute home run.

What sets her apart is her forward-thinking approach—she always knows the exact hotspots and trends, ensuring the pace of the trip matches my speed perfectly.

Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime!

I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. Darleen
