Description

We will meet at the indicated time at the entrance of the Ancient Agora and, together with our guide, we’ll walk among the ruins that once formed the political, social, and commercial heart of the city. Imagine the merchants’ cries, the lively debates between philosophers, and the major decisions made by citizens: the Agora was all this and much more! Our two-hour tour will take you to discover true architectural masterpieces, such as the Temple of Hephaestus, one of the best-preserved Doric temples in the world—an extraordinary work that will leave you speechless. We will also visit the Stoa of Attalos, an impressive reconstructed portico that today houses the Agora Museum, guardian of unique artefacts that tell us about the daily life of ancient Athenians. Let yourself be carried away by the passionate and rigorous explanations of our guide, designed especially for the Italian-speaking public. It will be an immersive experience, a unique opportunity to fully grasp the essence of democracy and philosophy right where it all began. After two hours, our tour will come to an end.
