Visite guidée d'Athènes
Description
Cette visite d'Athènes nous emmène dans les sites les plus célèbres de la ville, anciens et modernes. Le monument le plus célèbre d'Athènes et la fierté des Athéniens est sans aucun doute le Parthénon au sommet de la colline de l'Acropole. L'Agora romaine antique (Marketplace) et l'Agora grecque antique où Socrate parlait autrefois avec les citoyens athéniens de sujets tels que la justice, la vérité et l'amour. Errant un peu plus loin des environs immédiats de l'Acropole, regardez la relève de la garde sur la tombe du soldat inconnu connu sous le nom d'Evzones. Près du Parlement, nous verrons également la fameuse « trilogie » des bâtiments conçus par les architectes Danois Theophil et Christian Hansen : l’Académie d’Athènes, l’Université d’Athènes et la Bibliothèque nationale. Dans un style néoclassique grandiose. Le stade où les premiers Jeux olympiques modernes ont eu lieu en 1896. Vient ensuite le temple de Zeus Olympien et le monument connu sous le nom d’Arc d’Hadrien, une structure romaine distinctive dédiée à Thésée et Hadrien les fondateurs d’Athènes.

Le monument le plus célèbre d'Athènes - et la fierté des Athéniens - est sans aucun doute le Parthénon, au sommet de la colline de l'Acropole.

La relève de la garde au Parlement hellénique à Athènes se déroule devant la tombe du soldat inconnu. Les Evzones, soldats d'élite en uniforme traditionnel avec jupes plissées et chaussures à pompon, effectuent un échange cérémoniel synchronisé toutes les heures. Ce rituel symbolique honore les soldats tombés au combat et est une expérience culturelle incontournable. Les visiteurs peuvent être témoins de la discipline, de la précision et de la riche histoire de la fière tradition militaire grecque.

Le vieux stade olympique, également connu sous le nom de stade panathénaïque, est un monument historique à Athènes, en Grèce. Construit entièrement en marbre blanc, il a accueilli les premiers Jeux olympiques modernes en 1896. Construit à l'origine dans l'Antiquité pour les Jeux panathénaïques, il a ensuite été restauré pour la renaissance des Jeux olympiques. Avec une capacité de 50 000 spectateurs, il reste un symbole d'excellence athlétique et d'histoire. Aujourd'hui, les visiteurs peuvent explorer le stade, parcourir sa piste et ressentir l'esprit de l'héritage olympique.
La colline Lycabette, point culminant d'Athènes, offre une vue panoramique imprenable sur la ville, l'Acropole et la mer Égée. Les visiteurs peuvent faire de la randonnée ou prendre un funiculaire jusqu'au sommet, où ils trouveront la chapelle Saint-Georges, un café et un théâtre en plein air. C'est un endroit idéal pour admirer le coucher du soleil et capturer de superbes photos d'Athènes.

I highly recommend CatTaxi, an Athens based tour and transport company for anyone looking for a first rate tour experience in Greece. Based in Athens but with contacts throughout the Greek mainland and islands Terry and CatTaxi made our recent 18 day visit a success! Imagine the relief of being in a strange new environment knowing that our friendly scheduled driver would be showing on time, and with a nice clean vehicle, ready for our next adventure. Since this was our first time in Greece, Terry suggested a detailed itinerary and tours to make the best use of our time. Landing initially in Athens we flew directly to Santorini, our first stop. After five wonderful days, we took the SeaJets ferry to Mykonos, where we spent four days and then on to Athens and the much anticipated ancient city. Terry’s tour of Athens and his knowledge of Greek history, mythology, every day life in the city, and visits to some of his secret spots made the ancient city come alive! Our final destination was the Peloponnese, where the pace was slower and we made the most of the beautiful city of Nafplio. What a wonderful adventure, a beautiful country, good food and friendly people!
Another version We used CatTaxi for transfers and touring during our stay in Greece, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Terry not only handled our transportation needs but also helped us plan our itinerary, ensuring that every detail of our trip was thoughtfully arranged. This vacation had originally been canceled six months earlier due to a broken leg, so it was especially meaningful to finally make the journey. Terry went above and beyond to make sure our trip was everything we had hoped for and more. His tour of Athens was exceptional. In addition to taking us to the city’s iconic landmarks, he introduced us to hidden gems that we never would have discovered on our own. His knowledge of Greek history was remarkable and added so much depth to our experience. We especially enjoyed learning not only about ancient Greece but also about modern-day life in Athens. Terry was an incredible guide—knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely invested in making our trip enjoyable. He handled all the little details that made everything seamless, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our time in Greece. His expertise became even more valuable when our flight home was canceled at the last minute. He helped us navigate the unexpected challenges, find accommodations for an extra night, and arrange transportation back to the airport. What could have been a stressful situation became an unexpected bonus day in paradise.
Can not recommend enough. Pick up from airport was seamless, car was clean, driver was safe and our guide was knowledgeable.
Not only was it a very informative tour that hit all the highlights of Athens. Terry and Panos were excellent! The information leading up to the tour was incredible and the tour was fun and informative. I HIGHLY recommend this tour and Terry and Panos! I have already referred friends to them specifically. Just AUSSOM!
We had a lovely day with Sophia and Fina doing the Athens Highlights Tour & Sounio Cape. We saw all of Athens major sights plus some time by the sea. Sophia was very friendly, informative and accommodating. The van was clean, comfortable and they kept us supplied with cold water on a hot day. They also arranged for us to have a fantastic tour guide at the Acropolis first thing in the morning. What a great day and a fantastic introduction to Greece!
We booked a combo transfers package (airport to hotel, hotel to cruise, cruise to airport) and Athens Highlights Tour for a group of 12. I first reached out on a Facebook page and the owner contacted me directly and gave me a promo code which I forgot to apply. Upon confirmation he offered to provide a refund without me asking, this is when first impressions matter! The whole process was easy, he provided all the information I needed and communicated well. We then decided to book the tour, same gave us a discount code and so easy to work with for the details. We wanted to purchase tickets for Acropolis and he got them and the perfect time slot too. Then he gave us the best driver. We had Panos and he was so nice and professional. Our cruise changed the embarkation time and he picked us up later so we would not be there for hours and then provided suggestions on what to do in the meantime. One guest forgot his meds in the hotel and he picked it up for us and another guests really wanted a specific souvenir and he also picked it up for us. Always on time and with a smile on his face. We loved this company and Panos. Thank you!!!!
Amazing people to deal with. Terry was my first contact and walked me through my entire trip and was very clear on the costs.Dimitri was our driver and knew Athens inside out. Info was very informative and was extremely pleasant. After the trip, I requested an add on to the Temple of Poseidon and for a minimal cost added it to our trip. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Outstanding! Cattaxi was fantastic! Fannis & Sophia went above and beyond! They greeted us at The Athens Airport. We also toured the Acropolis w/ a private guide and an afternoon sunset tour to Lake Vouliagmeni & Cape Sounio.. This service is a 10+! All 7 people in our group loved Cattaxi!
Such wonderful service! We had very quickly friendly service when we were picked up from Piraeus port to our hotel. Reliable and the driver was ready as soon as we got there despite a late arrival. The next day we had a private tour with Terry. We learned so much about Greek culture and history, exceeded our expectations! Terry even went out of his way to take us to a non-tourist area souvlaki shop when we asked how to find truly authentic gyros. Highly recommend. He was ready with ice cold water after each of our stops too! At the very last minute we decided to use CATTaxi to transfer from hotel to airport. They were very accommodating and made it happen! 5 star service all around!
We used CATTTAXI for all sorts of activities in and around Athens and they were outstanding! We used them for our transfers and they made those seamless. We also did a half day tour of Athens, which is perfect to get acclimated to the city and to see all the highlights quickly. The last day tour we did was the Peloponnese and that was our favorite time of our time in Greece. We got to choose what we wanted go see and Terry put together the tour based on our wants. Use this company for anything you wanna do in and around Athens!
