About Acropolis: Tessera Audio Guide
Walk the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora with a guide in your pocket that works with no signal. Tessera is an audio guide to these sites: 65 short stories, told out loud, each under two minutes — from the Theatre of Dionysus and the Parthenon to the Areopagus, the Temple of Hephaestus and the Kerameikos. Download it once at home, and the map, the photos and every story work offline. • A plan of the site with your position on it — your location stays on your phone • 65 narrated stories, each with a photo and the full text • Four routes: Acropolis & Agora Highlights (12 stops, about 1 h 48), The Sacred Rock (14), Heart of Democracy (12) and The Complete Tour (65). The guide turns each route around to start at the gate you came in by • Nothing plays by itself: the guide offers a story when you arrive, and you decide • Search by name, number or topic • Eight languages: English, Русский, Español, Deutsch, Italiano, Français, Português, 中文 Try it free: the introduction and four more stops — the Parthenon, the Areopagus, the Ancient Agora and the Kerameikos — are free forever. One purchase unlocks the other 60 stories in all eight languages, the routes and guided walking to any stop. No subscription, no account, no ads. Tessera is an independent app and is not affiliated with the Hellenic Ministry of Culture, the Acropolis Museum or the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.

What’s new
Version 1.0.2 · Updated October 20, 2026
A new introduction on first launch: a few slides about the guide and one question — how much time you have. Your answer picks the walk the app tour shows you. You can replay it any time from Settings. Buying is one step shorter: the price button on the map opens the payment sheet straight away. If your phone is short of space, the guide tells you before the download — not halfway through it. Settings now have a Contact us section: email, help and the privacy policy in one place. Plus a smoother map and small fixes.
