What To Expect

Acropolis

Greece’s most famous monument that houses the pride and crown jewel of Athens, the Parthenon. Dedicated to the city’s ancient patron, Athena – the Goddess of wisdom, the Parthenon is globally considered an enduring symbol of Democracy, Culture and Civilization. Housed on top and in the surroundings of the sacred rock are some of the most important sites of the capital’s ancient heritage, such as: Propylaea, the entrance to the rock. The Temple of Wingless Victory, which was devoted to Goddess Athena-Nike. Erechtheum, with the temple’s best-known feature being its south porch, whose roof, instead of being supported on columns, rested on the heads of six Korai statues – the famous Caryatides. The Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a 5000-seat stone Roman theatre which was carved into the rock and is still used for music festivals The Theatre of Dionysus where the Athenians listened to the immortal works of Sophocles, Aeschylus, Euripides and Aristophanes.

We had a great day with Frank touring Athens. He took us to all the highlights and explained all about the history of this beautiful city. He was kind, professional and knew exactly where to go. Also took us to a favorite spot for lunch. He gave us options for stops along the way as well.
Short precruise visit with friends.

Our guide Kyriakos was a true professional and made it a once in a lifetime experience for my wife and I. He is knowledgeable, personable, and knew his around this somewhat challenging city. I can’t recommend this tour enough especially if you are lucky enough to get Kyriakos as your guide.

A wonderful experience in Athens. We learned so much and enjoyed all the interesting sites. We really saw the best of Athens. Our driver/tour guide was knowledgeable, gracious and accommodating. Our tour guide at the Acropolis was very educated about the site and associated history.
Love this tour!

We were in the Mediterranean for two weeks and Jimmy was our favorite guide! He had a delightful sense of humor, was extremely well read and full of knowledge. He shared what he felt we needed to know, but did not overload us with information. He had us where we needed to be and made our visit to Athens extremely memorable. We highly recommend him! Jimmy is the best!

Our guide was wonderful and had a vast knowledge of everything we saw. We felt like we left Athens having seen as much as we could during our short time at port.
