Itinerary

Embark on an insightful journey through Greek history, right in the heart of Athens. Join guided tours of the intricate Acropolis and the historic Roman Agora. Listen to interesting facts about these major sites and stroll through Ancient Athens to gaze at its imposing monuments. Start out with your visit to the Acropolis. Meet your guide and go in through the south slope, avoiding the crowds at the main entrance. Hear the age-old legends of the site and see the Parthenon, the Propylaea, and the Theater of Dionysus used to host festivals honoring the birth of the Greek god. Marvel at the Erechtheum, named after the demigod Erechtheus, and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, an enormous building used for musical performances. Take a look at the stone carvings of the Caryatids and the Temple of Athena Nike, the smallest temple. Enjoy some free time to admire all of the temples and monuments at your own pace and take all the photos you want. Regroup at the Gate of Athena Archegetis to visit the interior of the Roman Agora and the Library of Hadrian. Learn about the history, mythology, and scientific advances of this society. Finally, admire the exterior of the Ancient Agora, Hadrian's Arch, and Temple of Zeus.

Tour too expensive for what it is...the guide was very knowledgeable but there was too much information, a bit heavy.

Tour muy recomendable. La excursión estaba dividida dos partes, así que tuve tiempo de estar por mi cuenta en la acrópolis. Guía muy profesional, buena comunicación ya que hablaba español muy bien.
