The Greek nation & culture are one of the most ancient and famous worldwide… but what about Greece just as a country? Well, it's a very young country (only 200 years old!) but with an incredibly interesting history of heroes, acts of courage and strong people resisting against a foreign occupation. So, who were the fighters? How did they liberate the country? From whom? And… What happened next? On this tour I'm going to answer all these questions: Having a PhD in Ancient History, I'll discuss interesting things about the era where country needed to be build from scratch. Our day could be divided in two parts: First, a 2 hour stroll where we cover the less touristic areas of the city, full of neoclassical buildings, gardens and monuments of heroes & kings. The second part (also about 2 hours), a visit to the National Gallery, a beautiful all-glass building preserving paintings from the most famous Greek artists which will let us jump into the recent Greek past and the feeling of being Greek.
·Once we've gathered either at your hotel or in front of the National Library, we'll head towards newborn Greece's Neoclassical buildings whose construction intended to show the Greek identity to the world: - The National Library - The University - The Academia ·After covering these buildings, we are going to walk to the first Parliament of Athens. ·Next, we'll walk to the current Parliament, the first house of the kings Otto and George I. ·We'll continue with a nice walk into the National Garden, where we'll appreciate a paintings depicting the Greek revolution and battles. Among others, we'll see great masterpieces of El Greco, Vrysakis, Gyzis, Lytras, and many other famous Greek painters. ·At the end of the tour, if you want to go back to your hotel, I'll be glad to take you there or to suggest other places for you to visit! At any point during this tour, we'll be able to stop for refreshments and grab a coffee or a snack.
