by Explore
Located across the sacred rock of acropolis, in the most picturesque & historic area of Greece, the New Acropolis Museum is an architectural treasure and is completely balanced between the ancient & the modern. The Museum has a total area of 25,000 square meters with exhibition space of over 14,000 square meters. It is ten times bigger than the old Museum of Acropolis. The Museum is divided into three different levels. The first one has a glass floor where you can see the ancient urban settlement below; it also houses finds from the settlement & sanctuaries on the slopes of Acropolis. The second floor displays all the archaic finds and all artefacts from the Erectheion, the Temple of Athena Nike & the Propylaea.
The third level is the Parthenon hall which displays the Parthenon sculptures. All exhibits can be seen in natural light during the day time and visitors can also see the Parthenon from the glass gallery.
On the second floor there is an amazing café & restaurant where you can try real Greek dishes and the best pastry & savory Greek treats.
To full fill the experience visit the sacred rock of Acropolis, the Herodion ancient theatre, walk around the pedestrian street of Dionysiou Areopagitou and stop to see the old neighborhood of Athens, Plaka.
