Description
From one awe-inspiring site to the next is how your day starts, unfolds and just keeps going! From pick-up at your hotel, you will head to the entrance to the Acropolis, passing by the Roman theater of Herodion, still hosting modern performances. Ascending the ancient stone steps, you will reach the pinnacle of Greek antiquity, the Parthenon and Erechtheion, with plenty of time to take photos, and contemplate this amazing site, learning about its turbulent history and the mythological struggles of the gods over the name of the city, before descending through the olive trees towards the Roman Agora, for an insight into the important Roman period of the city. Continue towards Hadrian's library and the vibrant Monistaraki Square and explore the famous ‘Plaka’ market with its bustle and colour, and. Find the near complete ancient Temple of Hephaestus, and the extensive site of the ancient Agora, which was the hub and focus of old Athenian life. A perfect place to choose from one of the many tavernas and cafes along the boutique Adriano street with wonderful views to the ancient market site, you will then pause for a relaxing lunch, discussing how the ancient Greeks would have gathered to trade, exchange news, worship and carry out the street politics of the day at the site. Refreshed, you will drive out of the city for around 50 minutes, enjoying the Aegean coast line and exploring the beautiful area of Sounion, and the breathtaking Temple of Poseidon perched on the shear cliff edge with its open sea views. Learn how the Aegean got its name, the importance of the Temple in Greek history, and of previous visitors from Theseus to Lord Byron during his own Grand Tour. Your tour driver can not accompany you into ticketed sites, but for those wishing a guided tour inside the sites themselves, it is possible to collaborate with a select number of licensed on-site professional guides who can provide these on request.Includes
