Det bedste af Athen på en dag privat tur & Akropolis
Beskrivelse
Kære rejsende, velkommen til Athen! Dette er den bedst sælgende mulighed, så du kan få en fuld smag af byen Athen, guidet af en ekspert, flydende i engelsk athensk chauffør. Han kan ikke komme ind på siderne med dig. Du vil blive forsynet med indsigtsfulde kommentarer undervejs. Lær historien om gamle og moderne Athen og den fascinerende mytologi bag det. Start med at gå 2500 år tilbage i historien ved at besøge Akropolis og den gamle Agora. Udforsk de forskellige kvarterer i Athen og alle de interessante steder. Din chauffør kan give dig mange nyttige tips. Besøg et af de bedste museer i verden, Akropolis-museet eller det arkæologiske museum. Udforsk Plaka, gudernes nabolag. Spis den bedste friske lokale græske mad efter at have diskuteret dine valg med din chauffør. Denne tur er privat, så der er fleksibilitet, hvis du ønsker at fjerne eller tilføje noget, så længe det ikke overstiger varigheden af turen. Vi vil sørge for, at du får den mest fantastiske dag!
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Første stop ved Akropolis-bakken. Et bucket list-besøg for millioner rundt om i verden. Oplev den mest perfekt designede bygning i historien og den mest kopierede fra op og ned. Parthenon, eller på græsk Parthenonas, der betyder tempel for den jomfruelige gudinde Athena, datter af Zeus gudernes gud. Dette er den vestlige civilisations vugge, hvor grundlaget blev lagt, og hvor demokratiet blev født. Lær den fascinerende historie bag Akropolis og de gamle myter relateret til den. Beundre også Athena Nikes tempel, Propylea og sidst men ikke mindst Erechtheon med sine smukke 6 jomfrustatuer. På skråningerne af Akropolis er der sandsynligvis det ældste teater i verden fra 600 f.v.t. og også en romersk odeon, der bruges til i dag.
Næste stop er den gamle Agora i Athen. Det er centrum for det politiske, økonomiske og sociale liv. Et websted bragt til lys af den amerikanske skole for klassiske studier. Et behageligt sted, hvor du kan beundre nok den bedst bevarede gamle græske tempel dedikeret til Efestos, smedjeguden, der laver alle gudernes våben, søn af Zeus og Hera. På stedet er der også en smuk rekonstruktion af et gammelt 2-etagers indkøbscenter. I dag huser stueetagen museet med fundene fra Agora-gravningen, som stadig foregår. Smuk keramik, gamle mønter, stemmebøger, vandure og meget mere. Ja, der var et indkøbscenter med 42 butikker for 2500 år siden. Bortset fra at stedet har mange ruiner af regeringsbygninger, templer, domstole, parlament, teater, statuer. Den berømte filosof Sokrates steg på denne jord. De fleste er flade og dækket af træer. Et must besøg sted efter Akropolis.
Gå forbi det meget travle torv Monastiraki med loppemarkedet, antikvitetsmarkedet, butikker, restauranter og også nogle arkæologiske steder. Din chauffør vil hjælpe dig med at navigere og give tip til hvert område.
Gå forbi det centrale kød- og fiskemarked i Athen. Duft til alle de urter og krydderier, der sælges i de søde små butikker foran på markedet. Hvis du ønsker det, og det er muligt for chaufføren at parkere bilen sikkert, så du kan hoppe af og få et kig ind i dette højlydte og travle marked. Få følelsen af hverdagens athenske liv.
Gå forbi den smukkeste neoklassiske bygning i verden. Fantastisk design, der minder om gamle templer. Smukke statuer af græske guder og filosoffer. Dernæst Grækenlands første universitetsby og det gamle nationalbibliotek. Dette kaldes trilogien og alt sammen bygget omkring slutningen af det 19. århundrede.
Vær vidne til skiftet af præsidentens vagter. En ceremoni, der finder sted hver time på timen foran den ukendte soldats grav, hvor vi viser respekt for alle de græske soldater, der er tabt i kamp, og deres kroppe vendte aldrig hjem. Deres traditionelle uniform er fuld af symboler bag dem, relateret til vores nyere historie. En meget vigtig ting at se for at forstå stoltheden og disciplinen hos de unge græske soldater, der udfører deres pligt i 1 år som alle andre græske mænd over 18 år.
Templet for den olympiske Zeus. Det største tempel i antikken færdiggjort endelig af den romerske kejser Hadrian i det andet århundrede e.Kr. Se på størrelsen af disse enorme søjler og den berømte Hadrians bue i den fjerne ende af stedet.
Det olympiske stadion, bygget til de første moderne olympiske lege i 1896. Unikt fordi det hele er bygget af smuk ren hvid marmor fra Pendeli-bjerget som Akropolis, 10 miles fra byen. Hvert år er dette målstregen på det autentiske maratonløb, hvor det blev født.
Nu million dollar visning. Beundre byen fra det bedste udsigtspunkt oppe i Lycabetus-bakken. Få en ægte fornemmelse af størrelsen på denne storby.
Bygget i 2009 og flere gange stemt blandt de bedste museer i verden. På fundamentet af bygningen en rigtig udgravning af et gammelt athensk kvarter fundet under byggeriet, indarbejdet i bygningen. Fantastisk samling af fund fra Akropolis. Mange replikaer af artefakter stjålet af europæere for få århundreder tilbage. Ikke gå glip af, mens du er i Athen for at få en komplet oplevelse af Akropolis. Fuld af glas, der oplyser skulpturerne, og du er også i stand til at se Akropolis højt oppe.
Et alternativ til Akropolis-museet. Den gamle del af byen ved foden af Akropolis. Smukke historiske kvarter i Athen. Maleriske gyder, hyggelige butikker, caféer, restauranter. God mulighed for frokost også. Altid meget levende dag og nat.
Det mest utrolige museum, der dækker 8 årtusinders historie. Gyldne skatte, statuer, vægmalerier, keramik og mange flere. En tur tilbage i tiden. Dette kan være en mulighed i stedet for Akropolis-museet eller Plaka.
Hvis du føler, du har set nok og ikke vil have museumsvalget eller Plaka og ønsker en pause fra den travle by, kan du bruge lidt tid i denne smukke lille havn og få en dejlig is ved det blå vand. Alle dine tilgængelige valg vil blive drøftet med din chauffør. Dette er en privat tur, og der er fleksibilitet, men inden for turens varighed.

Alex was excellent!!! He helped accommodate our last minute booking and was able to acquire a guide for the Acropolis for us last minute as well. He provided a lot of great insight and information along the way. He was kind and patient. The tour did not seem rushed at all. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone!!
Dear Michael! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure meeting you, and I'm really glad you enjoyed the tour. I truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. Wishing you all the best, and I hope to welcome you back to Greece someday! Warm regards to everyone!
Our “Best of Athens Tour” exceeded our expectations! Alexander was a wonderful host for eight hours. His enthusiasm, knowledge of Greek history and excellent driving skills made for an enjoyable day. Alexander started our excursion with all the “bucket list” sites in Athens. He dropped us off at the nearest possible site and gave us tips on how to best use our time. After we toured the site at our own pace, he gave us what would soon be familiar directions, “Call my number, hang up and I will pick you up in two minutes.” Lunch could be anywhere we selected. We requested a true Greek restaurant outside the tourist area. He delivered with a place perfect where he knew the owner who personally explained our dining options. Since this was a private tour Alexander helped us plan the afternoon. We requested going to sites we would need to drive to so we could explore walkable sites on our own the next day in the Plaka area. He delivered with sites only accessible by car - not a group tour bus. Alexander then gave us many ideas on how to spend the next day on our own. Alexander and Viator provided an experience far more valuable than a group tour at approximately half the cost of our cruise lines group tour bus.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review and for your patience at the start of the day. I'm glad that you enjoyed discovering Athens! It was really a pleasure meeting you all, and I hope to welcome you back to Greece in the future! Thank you for recommending the tour to other travellers! Warm regards to everyone!

Our tour and driver, Alexander, was amazing. He knew so much about the city, it was like having a private tour guide also. He was very kind and accommodating. My family and I recommend Alexandar and this tour 100%.
Dear Alicia! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was my pleasure showing you Athens and it's rich history. I'm delighted you enjoyed the experience. Thank you for recommending the tour to other travellers! I truly appreciate your kind words. Wishing you and your family all the best, and I hope to welcome you back to Athens someday! Best regards to everyone! Alexander Papageorgiou
One of the best private tours we have done! Alexander is very knowledgeable about Greek mythology and the history of Athens. His van was also very comfortable with AC and cold water for the hot weather. Highly recommended!
Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review! I'm delighted that you enjoyed the tour and the insights into Greek mythology and Athens' rich history. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I'm happy the comfortable ride, air conditioning, and cold water helped make the day even more enjoyable. Thank you for your recommendation, and I hope to see you again on a future visit to Greece! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
I am honestly not someone who typically writes reviews, but after our experience with Alexander and Bucket List Tours, I felt I had to share this. Before our trip, I spent hours researching and comparing tours, trying to find the right person to show us Greece. Choosing Alexander was one of the best decisions we made. This was truly the most incredible tour we could have hoped for. It was so much more than seeing the famous sites — it was a deep, authentic experience. Alexander was like a walking encyclopedia, and because he was born and raised in Greece, he shared history, stories, and personal insight that brought everything to life. What made it so special was how natural and intimate the day felt. It wasn’t rushed or scripted. The experience flowed beautifully. We had amazing moments learning from him, but also time to explore certain sites on our own, which created the perfect balance. He showed us parts of the city and pieces of authentic Greece that we never would have discovered on our own. Those are the moments we will remember most. If you are considering a tour in Greece, I cannot recommend Alexander and Bucket List Tours enough. He didn’t just show us Greece — he helped us truly experience it.
Dear Devin! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review. I'm grateful that, after researching your options, you chose to spend the day with me. It was a pleasure showing you Athens and sharing both the history and everyday life of Greece. I'm glad you enjoyed the balance between explanations and time to explore on your own, and that some of the less-known places became part of your experience. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation, I truly appreciate it! I wish you all the best and hope to see you back in Greece in the future! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou

Alexander was sure we saw all the major attractions and gave us the history before touring the sites. He was flexible on what sites and durations we wanted. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Greece and Athens. He had a first class comfortable vehicle and great suggestions on where to eat during the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting a first class private tour of Athens.
Dear Gary thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review and for recommending the tour to other travellers! It was my pleasure showing you Athens and it's rich history! I am glad you enjoyed the lunch recommendation! Hope to see you again in the future for more adventures! Best regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
This was absolute best way to see Athens in one day! We traveled with family…from our 79 year old grandmother to 12 yr old son; Alexander was super knowledgable about Greek history and very flexible and accommodating to our requests. He made excellent suggestions to enhance our museum visits, and dropped us close to all the venues. Alexander even added other events that we didn’t think we would have time to do, and we had a lovely lunch and time to shop. This was an amazing day and Alexander felt like family by the end of our tour. Can’t wait to come back to Greece!
Dear Mary! Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure spending the day with your wonderful family and sharing the history and highlights of Athens with you. I'm delighted you enjoyed the museums, lunch, shopping, and the extra stops we were able to fit into the day. Thank you for choosing to explore Athens with me, and I look forward to welcoming you back to Greece in the future! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
We had a great tour with Evangelos! He was very knowledgeable about the history of the sights and very funny!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m very happy to hear you had a great time with Evangelos. He’s a fantastic driver and guide, and I’m glad his knowledge and sense of humor made the tour even more enjoyable for you. I’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. I truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back to Greece again someday! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
This was an amazing experience. Our guide was on time, extremely informative and dropped us right where we could walk up to where we were going. He took us to a lovely authentic Greek restaurant for lunch and suggested entrees to try. The food was great. Stopped at the end of the day for coffee. It was a fantastic day and we hit all the must see places.
Dear Teri! Thank you for your wonderful review! I’m so happy you enjoyed the experience, from the historical sites to the authentic Greek lunch and coffee stop. It was a pleasure showing you the must-see places and making the day smooth and enjoyable for you! Looking forward to welcoming you again in Athens for more exciting adventures! Thank you for trusting us with your day! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
