Concluiremos nuestro paseo en la Estación de Metro de la Acrópolis, cerca de la calle peatonal Dionysiou Areopagitou, desde donde podremos maravillarnos con la impresionante vista de la Acrópolis, coronada por el Partenón, y soñar con habitar en la antigua Grecia. Una vez finalizada la visita, tendremos la opción de seguir explorando la riqueza cultural visitando la Acrópolis o su museo, o bien aventurarnos por nuestra cuenta, perdiéndonos en las calles de Plaka, disfrutando de un almuerzo en una de las muchas tabernas con su exquisita gastronomía o comprando algunos regalos típicos en las numerosas tiendas del barrio.
