The Acropolis Museum by Night with Be a Greek

  • Copied to clipboard

A chance to experience the Acropolis Museum by night on a private, three-hour guided tour with the lit-up Parthenon as a backdrop.

By Thrasy Petropoulos

“At archaeology school, we were told that if you squeeze a myth hard enough, you can extract at least one piece of historical truth,” our guide, Eva Koureta muses, as we kick off our tour. 

An awful lot of squeezing goes into the next three hours, as we explore this building that’s been ranked one of the world’s Top Ten museums, thanks to its ground-breaking architecture, design and ancient inventory.

First, we discuss the Acropolis hill’s rich and often brutal history. Invasions come and go in a dizzying blur (Persian, Roman, Ottoman, Venetian…). Each time, the structure that topped the Sacred Rock—as it’s known to Greeks—was flattened or pillaged. Or both. 

We talk kingship, aristocracy, tyranny and, finally, democracy until we get to Pericles, the visionary statesman who reconstructed Athens after the 5th century BC Persian invasion. It was Pericles who added a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena—and so many of the other structures we marvel at today. Or rather tonight.

Ancient Athens comes to life

Walking up the Slopes of the Acropolis, the museum’s first gallery, takes you deeper into ancient Athens with every step. Perhaps it’s the historical context we’ve just gleaned, or perhaps it’s our guide’s enthusiasm for the objects excavated almost underfoot. Or maybe we have embarked on our own Night at the Museum and the place is beginning to come to life (just like in the Hollywood version). 

Eva tells us all about a kylix , the wide-rimmed cup used for drinking wine in antiquity, “but always mixed with water, because wine-drinking was for philosophical discussions… and only barbarians drank undiluted wine”. I can almost hear the marble Pericles nearby, arms folded, tutting in my direction.

On we go, through the statues of the Archaic Period, from the 7th century BC to the end of the Persian Wars (449 BC). Okay, they don’t move but they do come to life in other ways. In a room designed so that the effect of natural light is central to the visitor experience, it’s fascinating how the darkness outside allows you to imagine the original colours of the statues even more vividly. Blue, red, green, yellow—even white was derived from a natural pigment and set with egg yolk or honey. “If an ancient Greek visited the museum, they’d scream ‘PAINT THEM!’” declares Eva.

Tales of the Acropolis

History, mythology, culture, art, fashion…. you choose the slant of the tour and Eva will oblige. But there are certain highlights nobody can miss. The Caryatids - those dignified female figures propping up the porch of the Erechtheion (a temple on the north side of the Acropolis)—are a splendid spectacle. The empty circle left for the missing Caryatid, contentiously taken by Lord Elgin (along with nearly half the 150-metre marble frieze around the Parthenon) and sold to the British Museum in the early 19th century, is a masterful silent protest. 

Model reconstructions allow you to gawp at the detail of ancient stonework. And you could spend a good hour studying the Lego reconstruction of the Acropolis complex—all 200,000 pieces of it. (Look closely, there’s Theseus being chased by the Minotaur and Elton John performing at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus). 

Less is more (except for the Parthenon Frieze)

Everyone ends up at the top-floor Parthenon Gallery. Designed to mirror the Parthenon , it affords a perfect view of its subject and you can walk around the entire Parthenon frieze (part originals and part cast replicas).

“Sometimes, it’s not what you add, but what you take away,” says Eva, as we look out at the illuminated Parthenon across the way and reflect on how much more dramatic the museum feels by night. “If you take away daylight, you remove the cars and buildings of modern Athens and are left with just the Parthenon. You are instantly transported to antiquity.”

Top tip: The museum’s restaurant , in which you enjoy a complimentary drink, is open until midnight and there’s a live jazz band on Fridays, so make a night of it. 

What’s the verdict?

The Acropolis Museum is one of the great museums of the world. By day or night, it’s hard not to enjoy it. But a personalised night tour definitely brings the museum to life in different ways.

  • Duration: 3 hours (7-10 pm, every Friday).
  • Cost: From €66 per person (for a group of 8), including a drink. 
  • Time: 19.00 (suggested)

Greek Island Bucket List

27 of the Best Things to Do in Athens At Night

Greek Island Bucket List is an Amazon Associate and participant in other affiliate programmes. I earn from qualifying purchases. Please see my disclaimer for more information.

Particularly in summer, when the weather’s scorching in the day, Athens by night is just as lively as the daytime.

Even though I’ve lived in Greece a while, I’m still shocked that evening events can start at midnight. You might not want to be out that late, but if you’re looking for things to do in the Greek capital by night, here’s your list.

Tours of the City and Beyond

If, like most first-timers to Greece, you’ve tacked a day or two in Athens at the start or end of your trip, you’ll want to maximise your time. So one of the best things to do in Athens at night could be a tour of the city.

(It can also be a more pleasant way to get around in the summer months when temperatures get pretty high in the day.)

There are various options available to you, from classic to active and/or fun. Here are some to choose from.

athens acropolis night tour

Classic City Tour

This group evening Athens city tour lasts for five hours, starting with a visit to the Acropolis at 5pm. You have a licensed guide leading your walking tour, which means you enter through a calm side gate rather than the hectic main entrance.

After seeing the star attraction, you get to visit some of the city’s other historical gems.

athens acropolis night tour

Private Vehicle Tour of Athens

If you’d prefer to see the sights from the comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle, you can book this private tour . You’ll get a great overview of the city and the main archaeological sites.

If you’re short on time, this could be a relaxing way to see in a lot in a fairly short space of time. The suggested tour time is 6pm-10pm but as it’s private, there’s room for flexibility.

Evening Sightseeing Tour by Electric Tuk-Tuk

For a slightly different vehicle tour, try being transported around the heart of Athens by Tuk-tuk . Your fun local guide will take you around the narrow streets of the city centre through Plaka, Thesio, Monastiraki and Psiri and up Lycabettus Hill.

The two-hour tour packs in lots of sights that you wouldn’t get to in a normal car tour.

Athens Night Segway Tour

Choose a group segway tour for an adventurous night tour of the city of Athens lit up at night. It’s low energy for the environment and for you! Don’t worry if you’ve never been on a segway before. You start with a lesson to get you acquainted before you head out.

E-Bike Night Tour

This is a really popular tour in the evenings . I’ve often seen the groups at some of the city’s ancient sites. In the past, I took one of the COCO-MAT bike tours down the coast, but this company runs their tours around Athens’ centre.

You’ll have a leisurely cycle through Plaka and do a panoramic tour of some of the ancient ruins like Hadrian’s Arch, the Panathenaic Stadium and The Temple of Zeus. You’ll also find yourself around Syntagma Square and the Greek Parliament. 

athens acropolis night tour

Take a Stroll Through the City

Discover the city on your own little tour. Follow your nose and head up any little streets that pique your interest. You could start at bustling Syntagma Square and watch the evzones in traditional costume at the Tomb of the Uknown Soldier. They perform their ritual duties on the hour every hour all through the night.

From there, you could grab some street food on Ermou and head down to Monastiraki Square. Pick up some souvenirs and then head to one of the museums below. Stop at Little Kook to take pictures of the lights (you could stop for food, too, but there are better places locally).

athens acropolis night tour

After Monastiraki, you can walk through Thiseo. It’s one of the best places to see the illuminated Parthenon from the rooftop terraces in the area. Stroll on past the street performers and little stalls until you come to Acropolis Hill.

athens acropolis night tour

If you’re feeling energetic (and surefooted – the rocks are slippery) climb up the steps to the Areopagus Hill viewpoint. Walking around you’ll get a panoramic view of the city and the other hills.

athens acropolis night tour

Spend some time in the Plaka area enjoying the sights, exploring Anafiotika, having some delicious Greek food or sampling the Greek beer .

Sunset Kayak Tour

This might be a nice thing to do if you’re staying in the Athens Riviera. Even if you’re not and you’re interested in something active, look into this water activity . I did a kayaking tour in Santorini , and I loved it. This sets off from down the coast in Vouliagmeni and can include hotel pick-up from the city centre.

Sunset Tour of the Temple of Poseidon

The Temple of Poseidon is at Sounion , about 75 minutes outside of Athens. Although this isn’t something you can do directly in the city, private and group sunset tours run from Athens.

If you’ve already done a city tour and you’re after more history and breathtaking views, then this could be the next thing for your evening.

athens acropolis night tour

For a unique view of the archaeological site, you could go on this excellent sunset kayak tour and combine these two activities.

Ride in a Hot Air Balloon

Another idea if you have a bit more time in the city and want to do something extra special is this hot air balloon experience from Athens .

Tickets for this unique experience can include a transfer from Athens to a site about an hour away from the capital. You’ll sail over the site of ancient Thebes and mainland Greece before returning to Athens. I did a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia as part of my 50-before-50 bucket list , and it was fantastic.

Entertainment

Watch a film at an open-air cinema.

You’ll find open air cinemas all over Greece so of course there are some in Athens. Cine Thission is a famous outdoor cinema in a really central tourist area. It runs through spring and summer with classic films as well as current releases.

Movies are generally shown in English with Greek subtitles. You can check showings and times on the Cine Thisio website , but you have to get your tickets at the box office in person.

Cine Paris is another of the popular outdoor cinemas. It’s a popular alternative to Cine Thission as it’s a rooftop location. Unfortunately, in 2023 it’s closed for the season to do some building refurbishment. 

athens acropolis night tour

See a Performance from Athens Epidaurus Festival

This Athens festival runs theatre performances through spring and summer at stunning venues like The Herodeon/ Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus. The Herodeon is under the shadow of the Acropolis and is the perfect place to feel immersed in Greek culture.

The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus is in Epidaurus, close to Napflion , so it’s quite a way outside of Athens. However, special buses are put on from Athens for the performances during the festival.

This is the e-ticket link . You’ll need to put the destination in as Epidavros then scroll down the options until you see Theatro Festival.

Selected performances are in English, and the rest are in Greek with English subtitles.

Solve an Ancient Greek Murder Mystery Whodunnit

For something a little different, go and see this entertaining one-man show before dinner . You’ll travel back to ancient Greece to help a police officer called Nikarchos to solve the murder of Callimachos. It’s a fun event for a small and interactive audience with magnificent views of the Acropolis at sunset.

Visit the Acropolis Museum

The Acropolis Museum is a good, modern museum which is absolutely worth visiting. It can be useful to visit before going to up the Acropolis to see the Parthenon and other ruins because it explains what you’ll be looking at.

Over the summer, the museum is open Tuesday – Sunday until 8pm, with the last entry at 7:30pm. On Fridays, it’s open until 10pm with the last entry being 9:30pm.

athens acropolis night tour

Special occasions where the museum usually stays open – for free – from 8pm until midnight are:

European Night of Museums – 18th May 2024

August full moon(s) – Thursday 31st August 2023 and Monday 19th August 2024

In 2023 it was also open until midnight for International Museum Day. The next date is Saturday, 18th May 2024, and you’ll need to check nearer the time if they’re participating again. In the past, they’ve opened until 8pm with free entry.

Go early and expect crowds, especially in August. They often have other events happening at the same time. For the full moon on 1st August 2023, they had a tango evening, and you can see from the photo how busy it was.

The Museum of Illusions

Not many museums in Athens open until evening but here, the last entry is 8pm. It’s nothing to do with ancient Athens, but it’s a fun one for children! The Museum of Illusions is at the far end of Ermou Street in Monastiraki.

The Maria Callas Museum

This is a new museum that opened in October 2023. It displays the illustrious career of the Greek opera singer Maria Callas . It’s very much geared towards people who don’t know a huge amount about opera, so you don’t need to be an opera buff to visit.

You can listen to her performing, see some of her outfits and learn more about her interesting life across two floors of the building. It’s a little down the street to the left from the city’s Cathedral (with your back to the church). And it has a cafe and shop on the ground floor.

This museum is open on Friday nights until 10pm during the summer season and until 9pm from November until March.

Get a Fright at Athens Hall of Horrors

If you’re into something a little ghoulish while on holiday, head to the Hall of Horrors. It’s a short walk from Monastiraki Metro station, just past the Museum of Illusions.

You can’t miss it; it’s lit up like Christmas! Tours last 20 minutes, and the place is open until midnight. They don’t recommend it for children under 12.

athens acropolis night tour

Sunset Cruise

You don’t have to visit the islands to enjoy a sunset cruise. Head to the Riviera and do this activity right here in Athens. This particular catamaran cruise serves up a friendly afternoon and evening with traditional Greek food, excellent swimming and snorkelling spots and then a gorgeous sunset over the Saronic Gulf.

athens acropolis night tour

Go Shopping

Whether you’re looking for clothes by Greek designers or gifts to take home, you can shop at night .

For international high street chains open until 9pm most days, you can head to Ermou Street or one of the malls around the city. If you’re after designer goods, head to Kolonaki. Souvenir shops around Plaka are open until around 11pm for gifts and keepsakes.

athens acropolis night tour

See the Stars at the National Observatory

See the stars through the Dorides telescope at the National Observatory visitor centre on Nymphs Hill in Theisio. Guided tours are held in English on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

They start one hour after the start of the scheduled evening visits and times vary seasonally:

  • 20:00 from November to March
  • 21:00 in September, October and April
  • 22:00 from May to August

You’ll see the Museum of Geoastrophysics, the library full of historical books plus various telescopes and other scientific equipment from past times.

You can buy tickets online from here . Note that the visitor centre is closed from 3 – 26th August 2023.

athens acropolis night tour

Watch A Greek Night Show

I’m adding this as a bonus because lots of people ask where they can go to hear Greek music and watch traditional folk dances while enjoying a traditional Greek dinner. There is a show you can book onto for all these things, but it’s not particularly excellent quality.

Food and Drink

There are lots of options for foodie-related things to do at night in Athens. You can join an organised event or enjoy something on your own. Here are some of the best suggestions for you.

Enjoy Some Street Food

Let’s start with something quick, easy and cheap. You could decide for yourself which are the best gyros in Athens or pick up some sweetcorn, nuts or koulouri. Walking through the historical centre, you’ll find plenty of stalls and stands to pick something up.

athens acropolis night tour

Have a Drink

Kick back and relax in Athens with a drink. For something old school, head to Galaxy Bar.

If you go to a cocktail bar, you might as well choose one of the rooftop bars. There are several around Thesio and Monastiraki which give great views of the Acropolis. A for Athens has a good rooftop bar.

Orizontes Lycabettus at Lycabettus Hill also has exceptional views. You can have a meal at this fine dining restaurant too, but the reviews are very mixed so make up your own mind about eating there.

Sample Some Greek Wine

​Spend an evening doing some wine tasting in the heart of Athens. You can make your way through six wines in a relaxed atmosphere at the relaxed Wine O’Clock close to the Acropolis Metro Station. Or do Wine Tasting Under the Acropolis as part of a more formal session.

Dinner in the Sky

What better way to see Athens by night than from the sky while you eat dinner?! I have to say this wasn’t my favourite idea of a good time, but others who don’t like heights would still encourage you to do this. I DID love the great music, amazing food and overall relaxed atmosphere.

Why Spend One Night in Athens?

Spending one night in Athens is the perfect way to see the capital city before heading out to your next destination in Greece.

One Night in Athens: A Perfect Itinerary

Visit the athens acropolis.

You can’t visit Athens without visiting it’s most famous landmark, the Acropolis. Well, you could skip it but I highly advise against it. Even for those not interested in history, the Acropolis is worth visiting at least once.

The Acropolis actually refers to the entire citadel, and not just the iconic Parthenon. Some of the highlights to see at the Acropolis include the Parthenon, the Propylaia, Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.

The Acropolis

Visiting the Acropolis is a perfect thing do in the late afternoon or early evening, which makes it a perfect addition to a one night in Athens itinerary. Closer towards the closing time, the crowds will disperse and it will be cooler out, which is especially important in the hot summer time.

The Athens Acropolis is open year round from 8am until 8pm (last admission at 7:30pm) in the summer and until 5pm (last admission at 4:30pm) in the winter. To maximize time, skip the line tickets can be purchased here .

Explore Plaka

Charming street near Plaka neighborhood

After taking in some history, head to the charming Plaka district to experience one of the prettiest neighborhoods in Athens. Plaka is full of incredible Greek restaurants, boutique shops, and picturesque streets.

Spend some time wandering around Plaka, looking at some of the shops or relaxing at a Greek taverna.

Enjoy Some Greek Food for Dinner

A highlight of spending a night in Athens is getting some delicious Greek food for dinner. While Athens is an international city with many international food options, Greek food is just a perfect choice with only one night in the city.

Trying Greek food

I recommend having dinner in Plaka, as it is such a charming part of Athens and there are many highly rated restaurants and tavernas in this area.

For something a bit more upscale, check out the Electra Roof Garden. The views are great, but an advanced reservation is typically needed.

An alternative dinner option is to do a Greek Food Tour , which is an excellent way to taste some of Greece’s best foods with limited time in Athens.
