Rejseplan
Sightseeing i Athen starter med bakken i Akropolis, der gør din dag. På den historiske bakke har du muligheden for at se Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Athena Nike-templet, den monumentale gateway (Propylaea), Erechtheum og naturligvis den berømte Parthenon, det vigtigste tempel dedikeret til den jomfrue gudinde Athena .
Propylaea er de monumentale indgange til det hellige område dedikeret til Athena, skytsgudinden for byen. Bygget af arkitekten Mnesicles med pentelmarmor, deres design var avantgarde. Sydvest for Propylaea, på en vold, der beskytter hovedindgangen til Akropolis, ligger det joniske tempel Apteros Nike.
Parthenon, det vigtigste tempel dedikeret til den jomfru gudinde Athena. Det evige symbol på det athenske demokrati og den vestlige civilisation.
Poseidon og Athenas tempel, det underligste og mest hellige sted i det antikke Athen.
Tempel dedikeret til gudinden Athena Nike eller Wingless Victory.
Theatre of Dionysus Elefthereus er et stort teater i Athen, der betragtes som verdens første teater, bygget ved foden af den athenske akropolis.
Odeon of Herodes Atticus er en romersk teaterstruktur i sten beliggende på den sydvestlige hældning af Akropolis i Athen, Grækenland. Bygningen blev afsluttet i 161 e.Kr. og blev derefter renoveret i 1950.
Efter Akropolis kører vi mod Zeus-templet, det største tempel i oldtiden, viet til Guds konge ved hjælp af Hadrians bue.
Vi besøger Panathenaic Stadium, hvor de første moderne olympiske lege blev afholdt i 1896.
Derefter bevæger vi os ind i det historiske centrum af byen kører vi op ad den højeste bakke i Athen, Lycabettus Hill, hvor du får den bedste panoramaudsigt over byen, fra Akropolis bakke til Det Ægæiske Hav.
Det græske parlament, på græsk kendt som Voulí ton Ellínon, er det græske parlament beliggende i det gamle kongelige palads med udsigt over Syntagma-pladsen i Athen. Parlamentet er den øverste demokratiske institution, der repræsenterer borgerne gennem et valgt organ af parlamentsmedlemmer.
Vi vil se skiftet af vagten (Euzones) foran det gamle palads, som i dag er Parlamentets hus, over det centrale torv i Athen.
Syntagma-pladsen er den centrale firkant i Athen. Pladsen er opkaldt efter forfatningen, som Otto, den første konge af Grækenland, var forpligtet til at give efter en populær og militær opstand den 3. september 1843.
Akademibygningen udgør en af tre dele i en ”arkitektonisk trilogi”. Det blev grundlagt med det forfatningsmæssige dekret af 18. marts 1926 som et akademi for videnskaber, humaniora og kunst.
National og Kapodistrian University of Athens er den største statslige institution for videregående uddannelse i Grækenland og blandt de største universiteter i Europa. Det pragtfulde Athens Universitet blev tegnet af den danske arkitekt Christian Hansen og afsluttet i 1864.
Nationalbiblioteket i Grækenland blev bygget i slutningen af det 19. århundrede som den sidste af den arkitektoniske trilogi i Athen, en gruppe på tre neoklassiske bygninger, som også inkluderer akademiet og universitetet. Bygningen er tegnet af Theophil Hansen.
Glyfada er en forstad i Syd Athen, hvor sommernatten og de berømte strande ligger.
Kør ved Voula-stranden.
Vouliagmeni er berømt for de sandstrande, de luksuriøse hoteller og naturligvis for sin naturlige sø, beskyttet af Natura 2000.
Kør ad Varkiza.
Vi vil se templet i Poseidon dominerende over Det Ægæiske Hav og rester af templet Athena Souniada. Bortset fra den unikke beliggenhed og den arkæologiske interesse er Cape Sounio også kendt for sin betagende solnedgang og udsigt over de græske øer. Det betragtes som et af de mest romantiske steder i Grækenland. Det sted Lord Byron skrev om og værdsatte.
Vi kører tilbage til Athen.

Loved our tour & guide! Nikos was very knowledgeable of the history & mythology of the areas. Very accommodating when needed a short stop.
This was a great tour that covered a lot in one day. Nikos was a great driver and guide and was very knowledgeable of all the sights. We also appreciated that he was flexible with our needs and interests.
We went with 2 children and 2 adults. It was a wonderful experience. Panos was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. On the ride to each site, he explained about the culture and mythology. The kids were engaged and we all enjoyed the tour. A+++
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear your family enjoyed the tour and found it engaging. We aim to create memorable experiences, and it’s wonderful to know Panos made your visit special.
We, a family of three including a teenager, spent a couple nights in Athens after visiting the islands. We only had one full day to see the city and the nearby sights so we booked this particular tour and boy! did we make the perfect decision. Dimitris, our private guide and driver, was an absolute professional. He was very warm and welcoming. He picked us on time, took us to all the must-see places covered in the itinerary and amazingly, he is a human encyclopedia on Greek history and mythology. He explained the minute historical details of all the places along the way and we really enjoyed the ride and his company. The admission fee to the Acropolis and the Temple of Poseidon was covered in the tour. It was pouring heavily on the day but Dimitris didn't let that dampen our spirits and he kept us engaged throughout the trip and provided valuable tidbits about Greek mythology. He offered us water, stopped for coffees, took photos, explained the history, he just catered to all our needs selflessly. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens and if you're lucky, Dimitris will be a fantastic guide.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear your family had such a memorable experience with Dimitris. Your kind words mean a lot, and we’re glad he could make your rainy day enjoyable and enlightening!
Stefanos was amazing. We had a wonderful day. We loved the tour and Stefanos brought so much culture an information to every activity. We did a morning and afternoon tour to the Acropolis and Parthenon and Poseidon's Temple with the most amazing sunset in the evening. I highly recommend this tour. There was a wildfire when we were here and the communication was amazing as well as the service. Just wear your walking shoes!!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your tours with Stefanos and appreciated the effort put into the communication and service. Great tip about the walking shoes—definitely essential for exploring!
Stefanos was prompt, met us at the port in his nice clean car & took us to all the major highlights including the changing of the guard at the Presidential palace & drove all the way to the Posiedon temple. We ate at a wonderful seaside restaurant & ate a traditional Greek lunch. Wonderful! Stefanos was full of energy & knew all the history of the area. I would strongly recommend this trip! The only thing I might do differently next time is when you enter the Acropolis you can hire a guide to give you the details as you go. Stefanos was not able to go in with us. He gives you a little over an hour to do it on your own & tells you about everything beforehand but it was still overwhelming & I think it would have been nice to have someone walking it with us & pointing out details.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad Stefanos provided prompt service and a clean, comfortable ride.
What a great way to see the islands! It was so comfortable and the crew was great!! It was a fun experience and much needed relaxing on the boat in between. Definitely would recommend it! Thanks to all the crew and helping us make memories!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled you had a relaxing and fun time exploring the islands with our amazing crew. Your kind recommendation means a lot to us!
I cannot say enough. Yiannis is an exceptional guide. The Acropolis was fascinating, but the Temple of Poseidon was the highlight. Amazing day in Athens!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled Yiannis made your day memorable, and that you enjoyed the Acropolis and the Temple of Poseidon. We hope to welcome you back for more amazing adventures!
Stefanos was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and respectful the whole time . Always willing to answer any questions and help accommodate our tour to our liking . Looking forward to visit Greece again and will be contacting Olive tours for our visit
Thank you, Liza! We're more than happy to hear you enjoyed your experience with Stefanos. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to Greece for another great tour!
Perhaps the smartest thing I did on our entire 14 day vacation was to add a guide to our tour of Athens. With only one day in port (on a cruise) I really wanted to make sure my family got as much exposure as possible and these guys checked ALL the boxes. Our guide Martina was able to avoid the worst of the crowds at the Parthenon and pointed out all of the hills, telling us stories about the development and history of Athens. Once at the Parthenon there isn’t much marked so my family would have just been lost and overwhelmed without Martina. Perhaps even better than the sites was just hanging out with Martina and our driver, Panos. Their rapport with each other was wonderful, they told stories together and reminded each other of little tidbits we might want to know. Panos got us seemlessly from one place to the next, always looking out for our comfort and safety. With these two we had the best of both worlds- a deep understanding of the history and myth of Athens and a beautiful peek at the lives and gracious nature of the Greek people. I appreciate the gifts of their time and knowledge- thank you Martina and Panos!!
Thank you, Stephan! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and made the most of your time. Helping you explore and create great memories is our goal. We hope to welcome you again in the future!
