About this activity
Highlights
• Visit the world-famous Acropolis, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Temple of Erechtheion, the Propylaia and the Parthenon
• See ancient Athens come to life for the whole family!
• The contest between Athena and Poseidon for the heart of the Athenian people, the story of the Gigantomachy, and other myths and legends surrounding Athena and her fellow gods and goddesses will be shared in a hands-on engaging and entertaining way
• Children will receive a special Greek Mythology souvenir of their trip to Athena's Sacred Rock
Kick - off your ancient Athens experience on the most impressive stage possible, the ancient Acropolis, where a professional guide, trained in child education, will share stories and lead your children in activities based on ancient myths involving Goddess Athena, including the epic battle between the gods and giants for the domination of the world, as well as her contest with Poseidon to win the title of protector of Athens, a competition that took place on the Sacred Rock itself. The guide will also explain the importance of the different structures that have stood here over the years, including the history of what is perhaps the world's most iconic building, the Parthenon, dedicated to Athena.Your guide will bring these tales to life, giving children a better understanding of what they're seeing around them.
The activities that follow in the most wonderful Athenian Garden go a step further, stimulating hands-on participation, so that, for instance, the story of Athena’s loom becomes a weaving activity where children actually create something of their own that they can keep. The contest for the patronage of Athens between Athena and Poseidon is explored in greater depth through a creative puzzle game, while other games involve wit and physical interaction.
For youngsters, this is an immersive experience that makes learning about ancient Greece and its greatest monuments fun and memorable. For parents, it's an ideal opportunity to see the Sacred Rock in a different light
