What To Expect
Acropolis
Sightseeing in Athens starts with the hill of Acropolis which will make your day. On the historical hill, you will have the opportunity to see the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Temple of the Athena Nike, the monumental gateway (Propylaea), the Erechtheum and of course the famous Parthenon, the main temple dedicated to the virgin goddess Athena.
Propylaea
The Propylaea is the monumental entrances to the sacred area dedicated to Athena, the patron goddess of the city. Built by the architect Mnesicles with Pentelic marble, their design was avant-garde. To the south-west of the Propylaea, on a rampart protecting the main entrance to the Acropolis, is the Ionian temple of Apteros Nike.

5.00Terry was an excellent tour guide. From the first moment we connected, he was warm, congenial and friendly. He showed thorough, in-depth knowledge of everything Athens / Greece, and was very flexible at accommodating our needs and interests. If we were to return, we would request Terry as our guide. Also the Mercedes minibus was very comfortable and allowed great views in all directions.
Flavor of Athens!

5.00Our driver Aris was fantastic. From picking us up at the cruise terminal we were provided an amazing day. Aris has an incredible amount of knowledge of history past and present which made seeing the sites much more interesting. He is very kind and offered to do whatever we wanted to do and had excellent advice on the important sites to visit .

5.00Our tour with Panos (and expert guide Margaret) was fantastic! He was friendly and shared great insights, and Margaret’s detailed knowledge of the ancient Acropolis (Parthenon and temples) was second to none!
An amazing way to see the best of Athens

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic private tour of Athens with Manos and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. His knowledge, organisation, and timing made all the difference. He expertly planned our day so we arrived at attractions at exactly the right times to avoid the queues, which meant we spent our time enjoying Athens rather than waiting. Thank you Manos!
