Athens
This tour is highly suggested for all of you who have only one day to visit and explore Athens!!! Athens, the capital of Greece after its independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1834 is one of the most visited places in Greece. Athens is a city of great cultural interest as well as a bustling, modern city. The harmonious and perfectly balanced combination between the old and the new make Athens unique.
Athens is a city full of remarkable monuments and great historical places such as the Acropolis, Parthenon, Agora, Temple of Zeus, the first Olympic stadium and many more. This tour will give you the opportunity to observe the striking contrasts of ancient and modern that makes Athens such a fascinating city.
We suggest we start our private tour by visiting the so called “sacred rock”, the Acropolis. Here you will see the Parthenon that was dedicated to goddess Athena, Propylea, the monumental entrance to the sacred area, the temple of Athena Nike which was dedicated to Athena-Nike (Victory) the Erechtheion with its famous female figures-statues the Caryatides or Maidens dedicated to both goddess Athena and god Poseidon. The Odeum of Herodus Atticus and the ruins of the first theatre in the whole world the Theatre of Dionysus and finally the Areopagus (Mars Hill).
We will proceed to the Temple of Olympian Zeus and then to Panathenaic or Kallimarmaro Stadium which hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.
After that we suggest a rest time to the oldest and most picturesque neighborhood of Athens, Plaka (stone-paved narrow streets, traditional Greek tavernas souvenir stores). After some free time in Plaka where you can enjoy a nice meal we’ll drive through the city centre to the area of the Flea Market, Ancient Agora and the temple of Hephaistos, known also as Theseum (best preserved ancient temple in Greece) .
Our tour will be completed with our visit to the National Archaeological Museum, the biggest museum in Greece with one of the most important archaeological collections in the world.
OR with a visit to the New Acropolis Museum, “Home” of the Parthenon Marbles, important and impressive archaeological findings.
*All our private tours are flexible. It is always up to you to change the program according to your wishes.
**Admission fees and lunch are not included in the price of the tour.
