Acropolis
The greatest and finest sanctuary of ancient Athens, dedicated primarily to its patron, the goddess Athena, dominates the centre of the modern city from the rocky crag known as the Acropolis. The most celebrated myths of ancient Athens, its greatest religious festivals, earliest cults and several decisive events in the city's history are all connected to this sacred precinct. The monuments of the Acropolis stand in harmony with their natural setting. These unique masterpieces of ancient architecture combine different orders and styles of Classical art in a most innovative manner and have influenced art and culture for many centuries. The Acropolis of the fifth century BC is the most accurate reflection of the splendor, power and wealth of Athens at its greatest peak, the golden age of Pericles.

The driver was professional, on time and knowledgeable. Spyros was kind and always prompt! The driver does not accompany you on this tour, so it’s best to be prepared with subject information in advance so that you budget your time wisely. The tour met and exceeded all expectations.

Our 8 hrs full day tour began with our driver, Spyros, waiting for us 10 minutes prior to our start time, which was lovely. Our time was spent touring the major ruins in Ancient Athens, being encouraged by our driver to "take your time, see everything"! And we did! After Athens, we explored Ancient Corinth and had a lovely lunch there, overlooking the Aegean Sea. Pick ups, drop offs and communication with driver was flawless. We even did a bit of shopping in Corinth. Pur driver trated us to a drive up to get a picture of the AcroCorinth Castle and a city of Athens tour past the Unknown Soldier, Temple of Zeus, and National Gardens. Highly recommend!

Our driver Dimitris gave us a lot of information about what we were seeing even though he could not go into the sites as a guide. We were able to customize our tour to what we wanted within the timeline. Dimitris showed us a wonderful place for lunch by the Ancient Corinth site. We even got to see Acrocorinth which has a fantastic view of the Aegean sea.
