Highlights
- Acropolis - 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. In the second half of the fifth century bc, Athens, following the victory against the Persians and the establishment of democracy, took a leading position amongst the other city-states of the ancient world. In the age that followed, as thought and art flourished, an exceptional group of artists put into effect the ambitious plans of Athenian statesman Pericles and, under the inspired guidance of the sculptor Pheidias, transformed the rocky hill into a unique monument of thought and the arts. The most important monuments were built during that time: the Parthenon, built by Ictinus, the Erechtheon, the Propylaea, the monumental entrance to the Acropolis, designed by Mnesicles and the small temple Athena Nike.

Athens sightseeings - We started our day at the Acropolis, and were able to avoid the crowds and hot temperatures. Kostas was very knowledgeable and kept everyone on schedule. The tour was great in the amount of time given. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful day - We had an incredible half day tour. We were lucky enough to have Fokas as our guide. He was so friendly, funny and extremely knowledgeable. Right away we felt comfortable and were extremely impressed with his knowledge of the area and history. The way the tour was structured was perfect, and we lucked out as it wasn’t too busy. Fokas provided fresh cold water which was greatly appreciated. There was four of us driven around in his luxury car, which provided a much more personable experience. We didn’t have to deal with a giant bus or tour group. The highlight for us was the Acropolis, such an incredible place! We then saw the changing of the guard, then went to the top of the hill for the most amazing 360’ views of Athens. At the end of the tour Fokas suggested places to eat and see for dinner, and even helped book a reservation for us which was the perfect way to end such an amazing day. Thank you so much!!
