What is a kouros? What did the Ancient Greek people believe about the afterlife? Whose statue was raised from the waters of Cape Artemision? Who were the people of Mycaenae and Santorini? These questions and many others will answered and explained during our tour of Greece's largest museum, the National Archaeological Museum. Armed with my PhD in Ancient History I will share with you my knowledge and passion for ancient history and art to expose for you the roots of modern Greece. We'll discover the Archaic and Classical Greek Art, Roman masterpieces, and much more! I believe that any journey is a chance to enrich our knowledge and awareness of far peoples and cultures. With this in mind I will arrange my tour by focusing on you, how we can view the ancient world and its roots together and so truly appreciate the footprints we follow. As part of our tour we will also explore the imposing and beautiful 19th century building which houses the museum, looking at it within its historical and cultural framework.
We will meet at the museum or a location nearby depending on your preference. As this is the largest museum in Greece, I will show you the highlights of the collection along with the most interesting and significative objects and subjects. You will have time to enjoy the objects and stories as well as discussing together how they link with each other and later history. That way you can easily digest all you see and hear, keeping your mind fresh as we go through the rooms. We will start in the depths of Greece's past, the 3rd Millennium BC, before travelling through the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic eras and ending with the absorption of Greek culture into the Roman Empire. Moreover, 3rd Millennium Cycladic masterpieces and the gold of Mycaenae are waiting for us to hear their stories! At the end of the tour I help guide you back to your hotel or give you more information about what else you can see in Athens as well as how to get there! So, walking shoes (sandals) on and πάμε (we go)!
