Overview of your Athens tour:

You may think it impossible to explore ancient, modern and contemporary Athens in just half a day, but it is more than possible with this tour! It'd be divided in 2 parts of 2 hours each, the first 2 hours being spent in the Acropolis. On the latter part of our tour we'll visit Plaka, a kind of folkloric, peaceful island within the chaos of a modern city. Byzantine churches, the Roman Forum with its incredible monuments and traces of Arabic culture are there to be discovered. Athens is a mix of cultures and ages where Athenians, Romans, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires all left their fingerprints creating a colourful and unique atmosphere which needs only the right 'glasses' to be seen. My personal relationship with Athens began very early as a school girl in Italy. Then, when I moved to Athens I literally felt the luckiest person in the world! My PhD in Ancient History gave my the deep knowledge of the Greek culture, and today I love to share it with people, making them feel a bit "Athenian" as I do feel!
