What to expect

An exquisite walk visiting the most impressive and culturally significant sites of Athens. Immerse yourself in the city’s fascinating and colourful history; guided throughout by a professional and licensed guide.

Meet up with your guide and set off to the first highlight of the day: Hadrian’s arch and the impressive temple of Zeus, one of the largest temples built in Greek antiquity. Originally with 152 Corinthian-style columns, it was a massive structure which is still evident although only a few of the columns stand.

Departing from the Temple of Zeus and walking up the beautiful pedestrian way toward the Acropolis of Athens. A short walk passing small shops and caffees you will make your way towards the Acropolis. Reaching the Propylaea, gateway to the mighty Acropolis, where you come "face to face" with the stunning Parthenon, the temple of Athena Nike, and the Erechtheion. Monuments which are still glorious, 2500 years after their completion!

The Acropolis of Athens and its monuments are universal symbols of the classical spirit and civilization and form the greatest architectural and artistic complex bequeathed by Greek Antiquity to the world. It is here that the myths and the city’s past come to life! Hear stories of Zeus, Athena, the Goddess of wisdom, Poseidon, the God of the sea, and many more mighty Greek Gods, and learn the fascinating reasons why the myths were created! Your expert guide will allow you to understand the significance of the buildings and the role of Athens in antiquity.

The next stop is the ancient Agora (market). The Agora was where Athenians would express freely their opinions and discuss current issues. A beautiful site is full of amazing history. The ancient Agora is located in the heart of historical Athens in the shadow of the Acropolis. Once considered the political, commercial, and philosophical center of Athens and considered to be home to the birth of democracy.

This site is brimming with an intriguing history and is adorned by one of the best-preserved temples in Greece today. Remember - camera’s ready as this is a photographer’s haven boasting spectacular views of the city’s ancient quarters and is the perfect spot to learn how Athens became one of the most powerful cities in the world! An exceptional half day tour.
