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!
The itinerary is all on foot. We will have the chance chance to stop at a coffee shop for rest and refreshments when you feel like it! ·We would begin with a 2 hour visit to the Acropolis Archaeological Site, which will include: -Theatre of Dionysus -Temple of Asclepios -Ancient City Concert Hall ·Arriving at the monumental entrance, dominated by the iconic temple of Athena-Nike, we'd take a closer look at the Parthenon and Erechthion, masterpieces of ancient culture. ·We'd then continue walking around the picturesque historical streets of the Plaka and Monastiraki areas, where we will see buildings, churches, monuments, art, and archaeological sites and enjoy the local atmosphere. ·Later we'll visit the main church of the city: The Metropolis of Athens. ·Our journey will end at Syntagma Square, home to Parliament, which is close to restaurants and coffee shops, therefore the perfect place from where to continue your own exploration of our city.
