Profitez de l'occasion pour visiter deux des villes antiques les plus célèbres. Visitez le Parthénon, symbole de la démocratie, traversez le canal de Corinthe qui vous fascinera et découvrez à Corinthe l'un des plus anciens temples de Grèce.
La visite d'Athènes commence par la colline de l'Acropole qui fera de votre journée. Sur la colline historique, vous aurez l'occasion de voir l'Odéon d'Hérode Atticus, le Temple de l'Athéna Nike, la passerelle monumentale (Propylaea), l'Erechtheum et bien sûr le célèbre Parthénon, le principal temple dédié à la déesse vierge Athéna .
Les Propylées sont les entrées monumentales de la zone sacrée dédiée à Athéna, la déesse patronne de la ville. Construit par l'architecte Mnesicles avec du marbre pentélique, leur design était avant-gardiste. Au sud-ouest des Propylées, sur un rempart protégeant l'entrée principale de l'Acropole, se trouve le temple ionien d'Apteros Nike.
Parthénon, le temple principal dédié à la déesse vierge Athéna. Le symbole éternel de la démocratie athénienne et de la civilisation occidentale.
Temple de Poséidon et d'Athéna, l'endroit le plus étrange et le plus sacré de l'Athènes antique.
Temple dédié à la déesse Athéna Nike ou Victoire sans ailes.
Le Théâtre de Dionysos Elefthereus est un théâtre majeur à Athènes, considéré comme le premier théâtre du monde, construit au pied de l'Acropole athénienne.
L'Odéon d'Hérode Atticus est une structure de théâtre romain en pierre située sur le versant sud-ouest de l'Acropole d'Athènes, en Grèce. Le bâtiment a été achevé en 161 après JC, puis rénové en 1950.
Après l'Acropole, nous nous dirigerons vers le Temple de Zeus, le plus grand temple de l'Antiquité, consacré au Roi des Dieux, en passant par l'Arche d'Hadrien.
Nous visiterons le stade panathénaïque où les premiers Jeux Olympiques modernes ont eu lieu en 1896.
Puis en entrant dans le centre historique de la ville, nous monterons la plus haute colline d'Athènes, la colline du Lycabette, où vous aurez la meilleure vue panoramique de la ville, de la colline de l'Acropole à la mer Égée.
Nous verrons la relève de la garde (Euzones) devant l'ancien palais, qui est aujourd'hui le Parlement, au-dessus de la place centrale d'Athènes.
La place Syntagma est la place centrale d'Athènes. La place porte le nom de la Constitution qu'Otto, le premier roi de Grèce, fut obligé d'accorder après un soulèvement populaire et militaire le 3 septembre 1843.
Le Parlement hellénique, en grec connu sous le nom de Voulí ton Ellínon, est le parlement de la Grèce, situé dans l'ancien palais royal, surplombant la place Syntagma à Athènes. Le Parlement est l'institution démocratique suprême qui représente les citoyens à travers un corps élu de députés
Le bâtiment de l'Académie constitue l'une des trois parties d'une «trilogie architecturale». Elle a été fondée par le décret constitutionnel du 18 mars 1926, en tant qu'académie des sciences, des lettres et des beaux-arts.
La Bibliothèque nationale de Grèce a été construite à la fin du XIXe siècle, comme le dernier de l'architecture d'Athènes, un groupe de trois bâtiments néoclassiques qui comprend également l'Académie et l'Université. Le bâtiment a été conçu par Theophil Hansen.

En chemin passant des villages côtiers et l'île de Salamine (ensemble de la bataille navale historique entre les Athéniens et les Perses). Notre première pause le canal de Corinthe. Enfin ouvert en 1892 séparant la péninsule du Péloponnèse du reste de la Grèce tout en reliant le golfe Saronique à la mer de Corinthe. Vous aurez le temps de vous étirer les jambes, de traverser sur un pont piétonnier et d'admirer le canal de plus près (si vous jouez) certains jours, le saut à l'élastique est une option.
L'ancienne Corinthe, située au pied de la colline, comprend l'agora romaine de Corinthe, le temple de Dieu Apollo et un petit musée. Outre son intérêt archéologique et historique, le site est également l'une des destinations religieuses les plus populaires de Grèce. Dans cet endroit étonnant, l'apôtre Paul a prêché le christianisme, a été jugé par le tribunal de l'Agora et a établi l'église chrétienne la mieux organisée de cette période.
Le temple d'Apollon à Corinthe est l'un des premiers temples doriques du Péloponnèse et du continent grec. Construit vers 560 avant notre ère, en calcaire monolithique local au sommet d'une imposante colline rocheuse au nord de l'Acrocorinthe, le temple archaïque était un emblème de la ville grecque de Corinthe, reflétant sa croissance et sa prospérité.
Nous visiterons le château d'Acrocorinthe, le plus ancien et le plus grand château du sud de la Grèce, pour quelques photos étonnantes.
Nous rentrerons à Athènes.

A great day spent with a fantastic guide! Theodore (our guide) was knowledgeable and planned the perfect private tour for my mother and me. After picking us up at our hotel in a very clean and comfortable car we drove to Corinth. All along the way (about an hour), Theodore pointed out things of interest and answered all our questions. After visiting Corinth and the museum on our own he drove us to the top for beautiful photos. He then took us to a wonderful restaurant (Marinos)and joined us for a delicious lunch of traditional Greek foods. After a leisurely lunch with a wonderful breeze we returned to the car and made our way back to our hotel. The 6+ hour tour went by so quickly. We travel quite a bit and Theodore is one of the best guides we ever spent time with. Highly recommend!!!
Thank you, M3K, for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the tour with Theodore and appreciated his knowledge and thoughtful planning. Your recommendation means a lot to us!

My family and I had an amazing day! Our wonderful guide Theodore was so gracious and knowledgeable. We toured Athens and decided to take a trip to Corinth. Theodore was more than willing to help us and drove us to beautiful country and sea side sites. He was always punctual and gave us plenty of time to tour areas like the Acropolis and museums. He even stopped for some souvenir purchases. My family and I made beautiful memories exploring Athens and Theodore was a huge part of making it all happen!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Theodore made your day so special and memorable. We'll make sure to pass your kind words along to him!
What a great experience, thanks to Babis for creating a memorable day. The early slowpoke drive to Corinth was due to unexpected rush hour traffic, but Babis made the most of our time once we reached the archeological ruins. It was amazing to see the museum and several sites that were still distinguishable. Onward to Athens, we were given precise instructions about where to meet back after Acropolis stop. The inclines and rocky surfaces were perfectly managed by us four golden agers, and once on top, the amazing ruins did not disappoint. Babis suggested a lunch stopping point, but we indicated that we'd wait until returning to the ship. Babis strategically used the ample remaining time to drive past many wonderful landmarks including the Zeus Temple, the Presidential Palace, The Panathenaic Stadium, Athens City Hall, Hellenic Parliament, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (with changing of the guard), The National Library and other significant sites. It was a win-win day for all of us and the October cooler weather was a bonus, too.
Dear Debra, Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so glad to hear that Babis made your day in Corinth and Athens truly memorable. Your feedback is valuable, and we would love to welcome you back for more adventures in the future! Best regards, Dimitra Kapantai
We had a fantastic day with Stefanos from Olive Sea Travel, who was knowledgeable, professional, prompt, and courteous! From the hotel pickup to the drop off at the end of the day, everything was taken care of and all we had to do was enjoy the tour and take in all that Athens and Corinth had to offer, made all the easier with the expert knowledge provided by Stefanos. Extra convenience was provided by Olive Sea Travel purchasing our Acropolis tickets in advance, and Stefanos efficiently squired us to all the sites while managing to avoid the heat and crowds (as much as possible given the time of year and number of visitors in Athens). Cold water was provided throughout the day, and the car provided a smooth and comfortable ride. It was a fantastic day - Stefanos and Olive Sea Travel truly created an immersive and memorable experience for our first time in Athens! Highly recommend!
