Temple of Olympian Zeus
The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Olympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple at the center of the Greece 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 -that included 104 colossal columns- was renowned as the largest temple in Greece and housed one of the largest cult statues in the ancient world.

5.00We used Dionisis and his company twice! First time was airport transfer for 6 adults and our luggage. The pickup was seamless and our driver was nice. The next day we used Tour of Athens to go to Corinth Canal, Corinth and then to Napfloi. Our driver was very knowledgable and friendly. The vehicle was great and comfortable. We all really enjoyed our day and was well worth the money. Highly recommend!

5.00We opted for an 7 hour tour of Athens. Such an amazing tour. Our guide and driver were wonderful. We stopped at the acropolis, Olympic stadium, acropolis museum, changing of the guard, the tallest hill in ATHENS, the Agora and also a wonderful lunch. They were timely and so much information. If you want to see Athens and want to know the history, definitely do a tour.

5.00Dennis arranged Michael to drive us in a great MB van. Smooth, safe, on time and charming. Ask for Helen as your guide. She was so knowledgeable, personable and fun. She chose the best restaurant for lunch. It was one of the best of hundred ms of tours I’ve had. Great price. Perfect communication. Effortless.

5.00The wonderful service and kind staff! The sites were amazing too and I had no idea of this history of Athens and Effey gave us a full understanding!
Dionisis (Dennis) was superb and our tour was FANTASTIC!

5.00I am very late with my review as my trip was in September 2019, but it was so amazing I didn't want to miss sharing it with all of you. We were on a cruise and Athens was a port of call. We hired Dennis for 7 plus hours and together we designed a fantastic itinerary. He showed me where to go to purchase tickets ahead of time and all things were a go from the moment we got off the ship. We saw everything! Dennis was helpful, polite, flexible and we were so lucky to get him to show us around the great sights of Athens. Athens is a HUGE city. If you are not in town long please take my advice and hire Tours of Athens for a PRIVATE air conditioned tour. We had plenty of time in each place and it was very very hot so having a vehicle just waiting for us was a no brainer. We had 6 people total and I believe we each around 80 euros for the entire day. Well worth it. Time is money! Thank you Dennis and I am so sorry for the late review.
Awesome tour
