You will get a complete idea of the History of the most important city of the Ancient World, the place were Democracy was born, Athens. You will walk on the same paths as Socrates and Aristoteles and you will also discover not widely known but still very interesting sites while on tour.

Simultaneously, our experienced and knowledgeable driver will provide you with useful information not only about the history of the city, but also for its modern reality.

You will visit one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, the Acropolis of Athens, which was built in honor of Goddess Athena, the patron of the city. The monuments of the Acropolis (the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaia, and the Temple of Athena Nike), stand in harmony with their natural setting. The Acropolis of the 5th century BC is the most accurate reflection of the Splendour, power, and wealth of Athens at its greatest peak, the golden age of Perikles. In 1987 it was inscribed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

You will see the famous Romanian Theatre of Herod Atticus, which was built in 161 AD. The 4,500-seat theatre is considered as one of the world’s oldest and finest open-air theatres. It was renovated in 1950 and magical concerts still take place every summer during the Athens Festival.

You will visit the Acropolis Museum, one of the most famous Museums in the world, which is mainly focused on the findings of the archaeological site of the Acropolis of Athens. The Museum opened in 2009 and the top-floor dedication to the Parthenon’s metopes, frieze, and pediments is the highlight of the Acropolis Museum.

The Panathenaic Stadium was built in 144 AD and it hosted the 1st modern Olympic Games in 1896. The Stadium is built entirely of marble and nowadays it’s the last venue in Greece from where the Olympic flame handover ceremony to the host nation takes place.

You will experience a small tour to the Center of Athens, where we will see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a cenotaph dedicated to the Greek soldiers killed during the war. You will see the Syntagma Square, which is the most central Square of Athens and you will admire amazing neoclassical buildings around the center, such as the Academy of Athens, the University of Athens, and the National Library. This short tour will take us almost 30min.

You will visit the largest Archaeological Museum in Greece and one of the most important in the world. The Museum was founded at the end of the 19th century and hosts antiquities from all over Greece.
