From the South Slope to the Parthenon
Start on the South Slope of the Acropolis, where the seats of the Theatre of Dionysus curve into the hillside. On the climb toward the Propylaea, the tour introduces the Roman Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the Temple of Athena Nike. Each stop gives you time to find the building and listen before tackling the next stretch of steps.
On the summit, walk around the Parthenon. Three listening points take in the carved panels at its southwest corner, the east front where Athena’s statue once stood inside, and the optical refinements visible along the north side. Download the narration and photographs beforehand so you can compare what you hear with the stonework in front of you.
