What makes Walk through the history of Athens a unique experience ?
The tour will start at the indicated place, where we will be able to admire the magnificent neoclassical buildings of Panepistimiou Avenue. Among them are the Numismatic Museum, the Archaeological Company Building, the Catholic Church of St. Dionysius, the Athens Ophthalmological Hospital and the Central Bank of Greece building.
In Syntagma we will find the seat of the Hellenic parliament, and we will have time to watch the changing of the guard with its traditional soldiers.
We will also contemplate the Kalimarmaro stadium (known as the “good marble”) from a panoramic view. This stadium was the site of the first edition of the Modern Olympic Games and is the only stadium in the world built entirely in white marble.
The Zappeion, the first building built specifically for the modern Olympic Games, is currently used for both official and private ceremonies and meetings.
As we approach the end of our tour, we will pass by the Temple of Olympian Zeus, where the Roman Emperor Hadrian had a statue of himself erected next to the monumental 13-meter-high statue of Zeus, decorated with gold and ivory, in the image of the one sculpted by Phidias.
Concluiremos nuestro paseo en la Estación de Metro de la Acrópolis, cerca de la calle peatonal Dionysiou Areopagitou, desde donde podremos maravillarnos con la impresionante vista de la Acrópolis, coronada por el Partenón, y soñar con habitar en la antigua Grecia.
Una vez finalizada la visita, tendremos la opción de seguir explorando la riqueza cultural visitando la Acrópolis o su museo, o bien aventurarnos por nuestra cuenta, perdiéndonos en las calles de Plaka, disfrutando de un almuerzo en una de las muchas tabernas con su exquisita gastronomía o comprando algunos regalos típicos en las numerosas tiendas del barrio.
