Itinéraire
Cet endroit était le coeur de la ville d'Athènes. Des philosophes comme Socrate, Platon, des politiciens comme Solon, Thémistocles, Périclès, Thoucidides, Sofoklis, Aristofanis, qui constituaient la «Dream Team» d’Athènes, d’Athéniens et de simples citoyens se promenaient dans cette pièce et discutaient avec eux.
Nous faisons une promenade facile à travers le marché aux puces d'Athènes
La bibliothèque d'Hadrien a été créée par l'empereur romain Hadrien en 132 après JC, du côté nord de l'Acropole d'Athènes.
L'agora romaine d'Athènes est située au nord de l'Acropole et à l'est de l'ancienne Agora.
Le bâtiment octogonal appelé la Tour des vents a été construit par l'astronome Andronicus de Kyrristos au Ier siècle av. J.-C. Il servait à la fois d'indicateur de vent et d'horloge. Il s'agissait donc du «Big Ben» d'Athènes et de la station météorologique de la ville. L'horloge était solaire, mais par temps nuageux, il y avait aussi un mécanisme hydraulique qui produisait un son toutes les heures! C’est la première station météorologique.
Plaka est un quartier pittoresque d'Athènes avec de petites maisons et des rues étroites.
A cet endroit, nous rendons hommage à un grand philosophe !
Pnyx Hill est considérée comme le « berceau de la démocratie » car c'est le premier endroit au monde où les gens prenaient des décisions pour leur avenir. L'endroit offre de superbes vues sur l'Acropole et Athènes.
Le plus grand monument de Grèce est désormais à vous de le visiter et de l'admirer

Wonderful history and insight and a beautiful stroll around Athens and some less well known stops! We highly recommend!
Hi Melanie, thanks for your comments! My best regards!
Panos is an excellent, knowledgeable guide and a pleasure to listen to. The tour is well paced with enough stops to make the length of the tour quite comfortable even in August heat. Highly recommended.
Hello Kate, thank you very much for your kind words! My best regards!
This was the tour I came to Athens hoping to do. In the first half, you visit historical sites right in the heart of the tourist plazas you’ve probably already been walking around but learn the history and context which made them so much more meaningful and interesting. The second half is more of a stroll through history, with discussions about philosophy, democracy, and their influence on the Western world we know today. This tour really put Athens, and Greece more broadly, into perspective. Panos was an excellent and engaging guide. I felt like we saw parts of Athens that many tourists don’t venture into. There was a well-timed refreshment and bathroom stop half way through the tour.
Hi Cassie, thanks a lot, I am glad that you found what you wanted! My best regards!
Panos was very knowledgeable about the history of Democracy and Philosophy in Greece and in particular in Athens. Enjoyed the tour. If you are doing multiple tours, I would recommend doing this one first.
Hi Jeffrey, thanks a lot! My best regards!
We enjoyed this walking tour very much-Panos entertained and enlightened ua in an easy-going way, never dull, with a good sense of humor! I could easily have brought our kids too. Great job Panos. Thank you!
Hello Kari, glad to hear that, next time bring your kids as well. My best regards!
Absolutely awesome tour. Panos was deeply knowledgeable and had great examples and supporting material. Great way to start our Athens visit!
Hello John, thanks a lot for your comments! My best regards!
We truly enjoyed our tour with Panos and Nikos! This tour was intimate, which allowed us to ask questions and Panos to kind of guide the tour towards things we were interested in. He took us to a lot of interesting spots that show other sides of history you won’t get by simply going to the Acropolis. He touched on mathematics, science, psychology, and mythology in addition to teaching us about how ancient Athens organized its democratic government and how the emergence of philosophy changed western thought. He just struck me as a man with a ton of knowledge that he is passionate about sharing with others, which made the tour really interesting. Our group would definitely do another tour with Panos if we had the time!
Hello Rachel, many thanks for your fantastic comments! My best regards!
Panos is extremely knowledgeable and explained the history behind landmarks and related stories in an enjoyable way. I enjoyed my time and learned a lot. Thank you.
Hello Fatih, I am glad you enjoyed it, thanks! My best regards!
Amazing tour with a ton of both history and philosophy discussed for 3 hours while mostly walking around the actual places where these things occurred. A nice sit down philosophy lecture at the end. Bring water because you will get thirsty. The information is approachable for all, and history or philosophy majors will not be disappointed (I majored in both).
Hi Jim, thanks a lot for your comments! Glad to know. My best regards!
We had an outstanding guided tour of Athens with Panos, who was not only incredibly knowledgeable but genuinely entertaining. This experience went far beyond a superficial city tour. Panos brought Athens to life by sharing its rich history and the ideas of the great Greek philosophers in a way that was engaging and accessible. Our whole family loved it, including our 17‑year‑old teenager. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a deeper, more meaningful introduction to Athens.
Hello Izzy, thank you, I am glad your whole family liked it! My best regards!
