Itinéraire
Comme dans toute bonne histoire, tout commence par une introduction. Il n'est pas facile de raconter l'histoire d'une des villes les plus riches historiquement du monde. Pourtant, nous visons à donner à nos clients une perspective plus large. C'est pourquoi, au début de la visite, nous offrons une leçon concise sur la création de la civilisation humaine, puis nous plaçons la civilisation grecque antique - et Athènes en particulier - dans ce cadre, afin que les gens puissent vraiment comprendre son importance et sa contribution.
Le premier monument que nous verrons en montant vers l’Acropole est le Théâtre de Dionysos — le premier théâtre de l’histoire de l’humanité. C’est là que naquirent le théâtre et le théâtre en tant que pratique, et que les premières pièces – tragédies et comédies – furent jouées devant le public athénien. Ces pièces ont été écrites par certains des écrivains les plus célèbres de tous les temps, y compris Sophocle, Euripide et Eschyle.
Notre prochaine étape sera l'Odéon d'Hérode Atticus, qui a été construit par le bienfaiteur de la ville et célèbre philosophe du IIe siècle après JC en mémoire de sa femme décédée.
En arrivant à l'entrée principale du sanctuaire de l'Acropole, nous verrons le temple d'Athéna Niké, dédié à la déesse de la victoire.
Ensuite, nous admirerons la vue sur les collines environnantes historiquement importantes, et monterons l'escalier principal menant à l'intérieur du sanctuaire, le tout en prenant la porte monumentale de l'Acropole.
Notre avant-dernier arrêt sera l'Erechtheion, le temple des mythes et légendes, situé au centre du sanctuaire de l'Acropole et célèbre pour ses sculptures uniques.
À la fin, nous admirerons enfin « le joyau de la couronne » — le Parthénon. Offrir à la déesse patronne d'Athènes, c'est le chef-d'œuvre de l'architecture grecque antique de la période classique et la plus grande réalisation technique de l'État démocratique — le symbole de la civilisation occidentale.
Après avoir analysé l'Acropole, nous allons faire une petite pause pour des photos pendant 20 minutes. Après cela, nous allons sortir du site archéologique de l'Acropole et nous allons visiter la colline d'Aréopago où nous allons avoir l'épilogue de la visite avec la vue sur l'ancienne Agora athénienne.

Highly recommended tour if you know what you’re booking. Harris (Charalambos), our extremely passionate guide, met us at a convenient spot right in front of the Acropolis Museum (recommended as a preview visit to get the context of what you’re about to see) and led us on an extensive journey through 3000+ years of history at this amazing site. We started with a comprehensive introduction to the formation and evolution of Greek and Athenian society before entering the site and learning about the significance of each individual structure and how it fit into the history of the Acropolis and the wider world. He helped the visit flow on an oppressively hot day by finding breezy and shady spots and showing us where to fill water bottles and take the best photos, kept us interested with quizzes and rewards, and even helpfully walked us to our dinner afterwards, while sharing historical anecdotes and philosophical tidbits along the way. His enthusiasm for this unique place really shines through!
If you are really interested in history, don’t miss this opportunity. Greece has such a long and complex history, but our excellent guide Harris/Haralampos managed to summarize it starting with the Bronze Age, providing a thorough understanding of the context that led to the great architectural, cultural and historical significance of the Acropolis, including the many attempts at its demise. We owe so much to the Greeks. Unfortunately their other achievements and contributions to our societies like from their Byzantine era are mostly ignored in the West. Highly recommend this Acropolis tour.
I do recommend a tour with Harris for anyone with an interest in Greek history and mythology. We’re looking forward for the next time in Athens🌞🐈⬛
I cannot recommend this experience or the tour guide highly enough! Be prepared for much more than a visual experience. This is far more sightseeing things you’ve seen on television or vaguely remember from history class come to life. There is a real element of immersion here. The discussion and timeline go way beyond the parthenon or temple of Poseidon. It easily turns into discussions of philosophy and the underpinnings of western civilization. When you take this tour prepared to be engaged.
Incredible guide full of knowledge. He explained everything in detail, the history, the interesting curiosities. He was fun to be with, made jokes and we enjoyed every moment of the trip. His sense of humour fit us all. He paid attention to detail, was responsive to our requests. The place much bigger than we expected. One of the must see places in the world.
Charalampos of AthensHistoricExperiences took us on a 4000+ year, 20 km, 14 hour walking tour of Athen and Greek history. The breadth and depth of knowledge, insights and understanding shared by ”Harris” was fantastic and sets the bar high. We covered several public and private museums and sights. We want to give our deepest appreciation and recommend this tour to any traveller who plan to do an Athen historic tour.
I'm in Athens for work and I partecipated at the tour with a group of collegues of different nationalites. We was with Harris, that led the tour perfectly in english and it was all very clear, by the way... The passion for what one does is a universal language! If you are searching for a not ordinary tour, this is the right choice. It was wonderful and enriching: Harris' passion for history is contagious. He related his knowoledge of ancient history to present facts and to out work, motivating us to do our best as educator fugures. A nice thing for the lovers of history (of many): Harris sent us bibliographic resources! Choose this experience and enjoy it 😁
Excellent guide! Haralampos accompanied us for more than 4 hours even though the tour was only supposed to last 3. The explanations and commentary revealed a passionate historian guide who knew how to convey his passion and interest in this magical place that is the Acropolis to me. He also knew how to put it into context and comment on the repercussions of the monument, its history, and the civilizations that protected, destroyed, or preserved it. I highly recommend this company and this guide in particular.
Our guide, Harris/Haralamoos, had multiple graduate degrees and was hands down the most knowledgeable guide I’ve ever had. He made it fun also by having some of us guess answers and giving candies for rewards. He’s given the topics a great deal of philosophical thought and adds his own flavor all of which makes the journey digestible, memorable, and meaningful. Deep thanks!
From beginning to end the tour was absolutely fascinating! Our guide, Haralampos (Harris), was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing everything about Greek history. He was also funny, patient, and made the entire group feel welcome. As a travel advisor, I would highly recommend this tour for a rich cultural experience. Fantastic job!
