Listen and Admire:

• Parthenon

Explore through Locals’ Eyes: Learn historical information and less-known stories from professional local authors. The tour’s content results from in-depth research squeezed into original stories that will make your visit fascinating and informative.

Extra Tip: When visiting the Parthenon, take a moment to observe the columns up close. Notice the subtle curvature in the columns, known as entasis. To appreciate this optical trick, position yourself at different distances from the temple, near and far. As you move around, you’ll witness how the columns appear perfectly straight from a distance but reveal their curvature when examined up close.
