Private Half Day Tour of Athens
with an English Speaking Licensed Guide
Meet your licensed
English speaking guide at the hotel lobby. Leave together
for the entrance to the Athens Acropolis. Visit the
Acropolis and its timeless temples of Parthenon, Erectheion
and Athena Nike. A short climb up to the Hill of Philopappus
brings you to the imposing Roman period funeral monument and
extensive views of Athens and Piraeus. You then descend to
the hill of the Pnyx, the area used in Classical Athens as
the meeting place for the democratic assembly. You enter the
historical Plaka area close to the Thiseion temple, dating
back to the 5th century BC, meandering past the ancient
Agora with the impressively restored Stoa of Attalus,
Hadrian’s Library, and the picturesque Tower of the Winds.
The route back leads up over the Areopagus, or Hill of Mars,
directly below the Acropolis. Here, in 54 AD, Saint Paul
preached his Sermon on an unknown God, as recorded in the
Acts of the Apostles. Finally, you pass the Roman period
Odeion of Herodes Atticus, which is still used as a summer
venue for open-air concerts and theatrical performances.
At the end of the tour you may choose to visit the New
Acropolis Museum on your own, or walk even further to the
marble Panathenaic Stadium, built to host the first Olympic
Games of the modern era and Syntagma Square, or see the
changing of the Guards at the monument of the Unknown
Soldier.

Mykonos:
Delos Island Tour
Tour to the uninhabited island of Delos,
the Sacred Island of
Antiquity. The Birthplace of Apollo. The entire island, all
5 square kilometers, is an archaeological monument. Remains
of temples, holy places, houses, and settlements dating back
from the Neolithic to the Roman periods. There is no place
in the world where one will not find photographs of the Lion
Terrace, with its unique marble Lions.
The indoor Archaeological Museum is one of the best in the
country. In fact, the site is so full and rich with
antiquities that multiple visits are quite common.
Only a short boat ride away, and history awaits you. A must
for all visitors.
