Tour info
Why take this tour?
This tour of Athens takes us to the most famous sites of the city, both ancient and modern. Undoubtedly the most famous landmark of Athens and the pride of Athenians is the Parthenon atop Acropolis Hill. The ancient Roman Agora (marketplace) and the Ancient Greek Agora where Socrates once spoke with the Athenian citizens about such subjects as justice, truth and love. Wandering a little further from immediate surrounds of the Acropolis, watch the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier known as Evzones. Near the Parliament, we will also see the famous “trilogy” of buildings designed by the Danish architects Theophil and Christian Hansen: the Academy of Athens, the University of Athens and the National Library. In grand neoclassical style. The stadium where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896. Next is the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the monument known as Hadrian’s Arch, a distinctive Roman structure dedicated to Theseus and Hadrian the founders of Athens.
