Rejseplan
Grækenlands mest berømte monument, der huser Athens stolthed og kronjuvel, Parthenon. Dedikeret til byens gamle beskytter, Athena - visdommens gudinde, Parthenon betragtes globalt som et vedvarende symbol på demokrati, kultur og civilisation. Beliggende på toppen og i omgivelserne af den hellige sten er nogle af de vigtigste steder af hovedstadens gamle arv, såsom: Propylaea, indgangen til klippen. Tempel for vingerløs sejr, som var dedikeret til gudinden Athena-Nike. Erechtheum, hvor tempelets mest kendte træk er dens sydlige veranda, hvis tag, i stedet for at være støttet på søjler, hviler på hovedene af seks Korai statuer - de berømte Karyatides. Odeon of Herodes Atticus, et 5000-sædet romersk stentheater, der blev udskåret i klippen og stadig bruges til musikfestivaler Theatre of Dionysus hvor athenerne lyttede til de udødelige værker af Sophocles, Aeschylus, Euripides og Aristophanes.
Vi fortsætter vores tur ved at passere ved Temple of Olympian Zeus – Konge af det græske Pantheon. Den nu halvt ødelagte tempel, som også er kendt som Olympieion, var på sin højde bestod af 104 søjler på 17 meter (56 fod) høj og 2 meter (6 fod 7 tommer) i diameter!
Efter besøget i templet vil vi gøre et kort stop på Panathenaic Stadium, også kendt som Kallimarmaro, et multifunktionelt stadion, hvor de første moderne olympiske lege blev afholdt i 1896. Interessant kendsgerning! Panathenaic Stadium, også kendt som Kalimarmaro, er det eneste stadion i verden, der blev bygget helt af marmor.
Vores næste stop vil være ved det græske parlament – en bygning, der oprindeligt blev bygget med det formål at være paladset af Otto, den første konge af Grækenland.
Udenfor parlamentsbygningen ligger den ukendte soldats grav, som bevogtes af præsidentgarden. Denne lette infanteri enhed, klædt i den traditionelle Evzones uniform, gennemfører en berømt ændring af vagten ceremoni.
Vi kører derefter langs Panepistimiou Street, som forbinder Constitution (Syntagma) Square med Concord (Omonia) Square. Under denne korte køretur i hjertet af hovedstaden vil du støde på tre smukke bygninger: Akademiet, universitetet og det nationale bibliotek. Interessant kendsgerning! Disse tre herregårde, der blev bygget i det 19. århundrede, kaldes ofte for "den neoklassiske trilogi" af Athen.
Vores kørselssession fortsætter med et stop ved Lycabettus Hill, en af byens højeste udsigtspunkter, der tilbyder en af de bedste panoramaudsigt over centrum af Athen og dens forstæder.
Efter at have nydt udsigten, spiser du frokost på en traditionel græsk restaurant, der smager på autentisk græsk mad med sine unikke middelhavsegenskaber. Når vi fortsætter med at udforske byen, tager vi til den ældste og mest berømte del af byen, Plaka-distriktet. Plaka er kendt for sine maleriske gader fyldt med neoklassiske bygninger og små butikker og er et område af interesse for både turister og lokale.
Når du vandrer gennem det smukke kvarter, vil du støde på både den romerske og den gamle athenske Agora. Agora blev anset for at være hjertet og sjælen i Athen under byens højdepunkt, der havde rollen som et forretningsmæssigt, politisk og juridisk center. I dag, et stort åbent område af gamle ruiner og grønt, Agora tiltrækker mere end en halv million internationale besøgende årligt på grund af de vigtige monumenter, som den huser. To af de mest bemærkelsesværdige højdepunkter i Agora er: JEG. Temple of Hephaestus, et tempel fra det 5. århundrede f.Kr. dedikeret til Hephaestus - gud af metalarbejde, håndværk og ild - som forbliver stort set intakt. & II. Stoa of Attalos, en stoa (dækket gågade) bygget af og opkaldt efter kong Attalos II af Pergamon.
Det nye Akropolis Museum åbnede i 2009 og ligger under den sydlige skråning af Akropolis. Museet indeholder for det meste pedimentskulpturer, relieffer og statuer fundet på den hellige sten, som dannede dens dekoration. Med over 4.000 udstillinger anses Akropolis-museet for at være et af de bedste og mest betydningsfulde museer i verden.

Thanks Frank (The owner), George and Jimmy (his Greek name is Dimitri by the way - our Driver & Guide) for arranging the best Athens tour! We booked a 2day tour (Athens city tour and outside Athens Tour) with them. Check them out in TripAdvisor! They have excellent 5/5 stars review.. if you don't book with them, you are missing out for sure! Also, forgot to mention, our photographer Vicky & her team from Santorini for recommending H.P. tours! She is excellent too for Santorini day tours and especially the flying dress shots.. check them out in TripAdvisor as well for their 5/5 stars reviews.. Will definitely recommend both them to our friends and colleagues when they travel to either Santorini and Athens :) If I could give them more, it will be 10/5 stars!

Wow. Trip was amazing and Frank K. was unbelievable - scheduling, coordination, information, and even his driving through that traffic were all top-notch. His lunch selection was perfect. We saw it all at our own pace. Highly recommend both the trip and Frank K. as a driver.

Frank was awesome! We really enjoyed our private tour in Athens with him. Since we were coming off a cruise ship, our time was limited, and Frank helped us make the most of it. By the end of the tour, it felt like Frank was part of our group. He was very personable, easy to talk to, and had a wealth of knowledge about the history of Greece and Athens. If I ever travel to Greece again, he’ll be the guide I hire!

Frank was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Greece! His knowledge of Greek history, culture, and local traditions was absolutely incredible, but what made the experience even more special was his personality. Frank was warm, engaging, funny, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He made every stop feel meaningful and brought the history of Greece to life in a way that was both educational and entertaining. From navigating Athens to sharing hidden gems and local recommendations, Frank went above and beyond to make sure everyone had an unforgettable experience. What stood out most was how attentive and personable he was. He made the tour feel comfortable, seamless, and personal rather than rushed or generic. You can tell he truly cares about his guests and takes pride in showing people the beauty of Greece. If you are lucky enough to have Frank as your tour guide, you are in for an amazing experience. Highly recommend — 5 stars all the way!
