What To Expect
Acropolis
At Acropolis you will visit the Parthenon, the temple on the top of the sacred rock devoted to Goddess Athena, the Goddess of wisdom, the Propylaea, the entrance to the sacred rock, the Temple of Wingless Victory which was devoted to Goddess Athena-Nike, the Erechtheum, the most sacred and mythical of all the temples of Athens with its famous Caryatides (female featured statues), the 5000-seat Odeon of Herodes Atticus which was carved into the rock and is still used for music festivals, the 3000-seat theater of Dionysus where the Athenians listened to the immortal works of Sophocles, Aeschylus, Euripides and Aristophanes.
The Temple of Olympian Zeus is a former colossal temple at the center of the Greek capital Athens. It was dedicated to "Olympian" Zeus, a name originating from his position as head of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC during the rule of the Athenian tyrants, who envisaged building the greatest temple in the ancient world, but it was not completed until the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, some 638 years after the project had begun. During the Roman period the temple, which included 104 colossal columns, was renowned as the largest temple in Greece and housed one of the largest cult statues in the ancient world.

A great day in Athens - Corinth

5.00Really enjoyed the tour with Frank. He is an extremely pleasant and knowledgeable guide. The ride to Corinth was very comfortable in his large van. On the way his descriptions and the videos he showed in the van had us completely prepared for the visit. We leave much more aware of the history of the area and life in Greece and having Frank as a new friend.
Highly recommended!

5.00Hellenic Private Tours was FABULOUS! They are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! My group of 5 people had a 1/2 day Temple of Poseidon and Sounion tour as well as a Full Day private tour in Athens before our cruise. Jimmy was absolutely AMAZING! They even organized the most spectacular sunset dinner at the top of the highest hill in Athens - a MUST DO! The owner - Frank Kotsiopoulos was so helpful in coordinating our trip of a lifetime. He was timely in his communications and in getting our group to the port on time. Transportation was luxurious and it exceeding my expectations. No need to look any further - book with HP tours and take the worry out of your Greece adventure!

5.00We had the best tour ever! My parents, best friend, and I did the full day private tour of ancient Athens and Corinth. Our driver, Mr. Frank Kotsiopoulos, and tour guide, Marissa, were the absolute best! Mr. Kotsiopoulos is the best driver in Greece and Marissa is the best photographer and will take the best photos so you can always remember your tour! They met us at our hotel and drove us in a very nice Mercedes van. My friend and I are only 18 and Marissa found this very surprising. She said they don’t get many young people, but I believe that they should! It was amazing to see the all of the old structures that were built so long ago. We went to the Acropolis of Athens and saw the Parthenon and everything on the rock. We went to the original Olympic Stadium, and the house of the Prime Minister where we took pictures beside the guards. We saw the temple of Zeus. We even got to see the places that Paul was and preached! We saw the temple of Apollo and the place where Paul started his first church. We also had a wonderful authentic Greek lunch in Corinth! We even stopped at a beautiful beach! Marissa explained everything about each location and gave us so much helpful information and history about what we saw. I believe that it is important for young people to see these places to better understand history and Christianity! Whether you like history or not, all the sites are a must see! They are nothing like what you see in America. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat! I believe it was the best way to see ancient Athens and Corinth! I can’t recommend this tour enough! It is great for every age!
Awesome tour of Athens and Corinth!

5.00Kyriakos did an amazing all day tour for us in Athens. Arrived early at our hotel for pickup. Very clean and nice vehicle. We were able to see all the highlights of Athens, Corinth Canal and ancient Corinth. Kyriakos always sent us off to explore with a cold bottle of water, which we appreciated. Great way to hit all the sites we wanted to see in one day. Never felt rushed as we spent time exploring the ruins and historical sites. Highly recommend this tour tour and Kyriakos.
