Morning light slants across the Parthenon’s marble faces as the city wakes — horns, café clatter, and the slow uphill step of visitors converging on the Acropolis. On a private 6- or 8-hour tour, Athens reveals itself in curated stages: sacred hilltops, museum halls that frame stone relics against sky, and narrow streets that smell of espresso and olive oil.
