Extremely interesting and engaging

Alexandros told us many things about the history and structure of the Acropolis and also about Athens as a whole and some Greek mythology. Even the myths that we knew were of interest because they took on a new meaning when linked to part of the Acropolis. He also showed us what he called the highlights of the Acropolis museum, which included something in every part of the museum and was about as much as we could take in at one time, so maximised the value of our time in the museum.
