What To Expect
The Monastery of Daphni
The Daphni Monastery was founded towards the end of the sixth century A.D. on the site of the Sanctuary of Apollo which had been desecrated by the Goths in 395. The Sanctuary of Apollo was built in the Ionic style using the thinnest and smallest columns. The columns stand on a base with an ornamental scroll at the top. A few of the columns of the temple have been preserved. One of the four Ionic columns of the ancient Sanctuary of Apollo remains at the site, as it was re-used in the Daphni Monastery. The other columns were removed and taken to London by Thomas Bruce, Earl of Elgin (of Elgin Marbles fame). The columns, column bass, and column tops from the Sanctuary of Apollo are currently in the possession of the British Museum.

1.00Avoid this tour and specifically the provider Theodore. The tour guide was a twenty something driver, he picked up some historical facts, but he was not a trained tour guide. We were driven to sites and dropped off to “explore on our own”. You would be better served walking or taxiing from place to place. The worst part was the classic greek dinner which was 30 mins outside of downtown in a restaurant listed as being out of business. Obviously, this place is/was owned by the tour operator. The food was horrible. The entire experience felt like a con.
Wonderful Athens

5.00This private excursion was wonderful. Our guide knew the history of all the sites and was able to take us places not normally accessible. Being handicapped this was a god send. P.s. There is an elevator at the acropolis which he took us right up to.

5.00Stathis or guide was outstanding!! He is extremely knowledgeable of all of Greece and supper friendly as well. He timed our arrivals at each destination so we would have the shortest wait times and finished with an original delicious Greek dinner at his family restaurant. Highly recommend!!

5.00This was our second day or a private customizable tour. We drove out or Athens thru the riviera and to visit the temple of Poseidon. Our driver/guide Sebastianos was very professional and knowledgeable of the sights and a very safe driver. We had an excellent time and got to see some sights outside of Athens that were really worth it. Recommended.

5.00Our driver/tour guide, Mike, was exceptional! Not only did he have the skills to drive around Athens in heavy traffic and narrow winding streets, but also so knowledgeable about the history of the Athens and Greece. He was so attentive to us, had a great friendly and engaging personality. He made our first visit to Athens memorial. Thank you, Mike.
