AND LAST...
Our last visit will either be to the oldest part of Athens (the Plaka district), ending at the Athenian ancient Agora or the new Acropolis museum.
The new Acropolis museum is
under the south slope of the
Acropolis and contains
mostly pediment sculpture,
reliefs, and statues found on
the sacred rock of Acropolis,
which formed most of its
decoration. Among these
statues, the well-known
female figures with the
characteristic archaic smile
called ‘Korai’ such as the
Kore of Naxos, the Kore of
Chios, and the Kore of Lyons
etc.
There are also sphinxes,
consecrated reliefs such as
that of Athena in Medication
and consecrated sculptures such as the Moschoforos (a man who is carrying a calf across
his shoulders), the Boy of Kritias
Etc.
Entrance fees and lunch costs are not included in the price of the chosen tour.
