Itinerario
Il nostro tour di un'intera giornata ad Atene inizia dal sito archeologico più importante, l'Acropoli, la cosiddetta roccia sacra. Sull'Acropoli ammirerete il Partenone il tempio che fu dedicato principalmente alla sua patrona la dea Atena, il tempio di Erectheion con le sue famose figure femminili le Cariatidi, il tempio di Atena Nike (Atena vittoriosa), Propilei, la porta monumentale dell'Acropoli, Erode Attico Odeon, le rovine del Teatro di Dioniso e infine l'Areopago (collina di Marte).
Il Partenone il tempio che fu dedicato principalmente alla sua patrona la dea Atena, simbolo di Atene e della democrazia
Il Propylaia è il classico complesso edilizio dorico greco che funse da monumentale porta cerimoniale per l'Acropoli di Atene. Costruito tra il 437 e il 432 a.C. da Mnesikles.
L'Erechtheion, progettato dall'architetto Mnesikles, era un tempio dedicato ad Atena e Poseidone.
Tempio dedicato alla dea Atena Nike o Vittoria Senza Ali.
Un teatro romano in pietra. che fu costruito nel 161 d.C. da Erode Attico in memoria della moglie romana
Dopo pranzo, ci dirigeremo verso il Tempio di Zeus, il più grande tempio dell'antichità, dedicato al Re degli Dei.
Fu costruito come ringraziamento ad Adriano per aver completato la costruzione del tempio di Zeus.
Un grande edificio palaziale accanto ai Giardini Nazionali di Atene, nel cuore di Atene, generalmente utilizzato per riunioni e cerimonie, sia ufficiali che private ed è uno dei monumenti moderni più rinomati della città
Successivamente visiterai lo Stadio Panathenaic, lo stadio dove si svolsero i moderni Giochi Olimpici nel 1896.
Un grande esempio di architettura del paesaggio del XIX secolo (stile inglese). La sua costruzione iniziò nel 1839 e il suo successivo sviluppo è direttamente legato alla fondazione dello stato greco moderno e allo sviluppo della città di Atene in una moderna capitale europea.
Proseguendo lungo il Giardino Nazionale, vedremo il cambio della guardia (Euzones) di fronte al vecchio palazzo, che è oggi il Parlamento, sopra la piazza centrale di Atene, Syntagma. La piazza prende il nome dalla Costituzione che Ottone, il primo re di Grecia, fu obbligato a concedere dopo una rivolta popolare e militare il 3 settembre 1843.
Assisteremo al cambio della guardia (Euzones) di fronte al vecchio palazzo, che oggi è il Palazzo del Parlamento, sopra la piazza centrale di Atene. Il Parlamento Ellenico, in greco noto come Voulí ton Ellínon è il parlamento della Grecia, situato nel Vecchio Palazzo Reale, che si affaccia su Piazza Syntagma ad Atene. Il Parlamento è la suprema istituzione democratica che rappresenta i cittadini attraverso un organo eletto di membri del Parlamento.
L’Academy Building costituisce una delle tre parti di una “trilogia architettonica”. Fu fondata con il Decreto Costituzionale del 18 marzo 1926, come Accademia di Scienze, Lettere e Belle Arti.
La Biblioteca Nazionale di Grecia è la principale biblioteca pubblica della Grecia, situata ad Atene fondata da Ioannis Kapodistrias
L'Università Nazionale e Capodistria di Atene è la più grande istituzione statale di istruzione superiore in Grecia, e tra le più grandi università in Europa. La splendida Università di Atene fu progettata dall'architetto danese Christian Hansen e completata nel 1864.
Successivamente saliremo sulla collina più alta di Atene, la collina di Licabetto, dove avrai la migliore vista panoramica della città, dalla collina dell'Acropoli al Mar Egeo

Theodore and Costa were very informative and friendly. By the end of the day we felt like they were part of the family. We were a family group of 9 people, so Theodore organised a 2nd vehicle to accommodate us. They made sure all our needs were met and they truly are very knowledgeable about all the sites we went to see. We would highly recommend them🤩🇬🇷
I can’t rave enough about Exceptional Tours. Theodore made us feel like we now have a new family in Greece. We were taken to places I never knew existed. Introduced to the coffee, the food, the myths and the beauty of Greece. I will never forget my fascination with Athena the Ancient Greek goddess. And now I can say - thanks to Theodore - I know why they call it “extra virgin olive oil”. I will let you hear the story from him. Not only was he our tour guide he picked us up and dropped us off at airport, and picked us up and dropped us off on our cruise ship. Theodore set up tours for us in Santorini which was just as spectacular and beautiful as Greece. He checked in on us when we were on our own in Greece before the cruise, and was there to meet us as we got off the ship. Theodore even went above and beyond on the last day in Greece helping me find Greek basketball cards for my grandsons. Stopping at every kiosk along our tour. I would never use anyone else’s services in Greece . I feel like we left Greece knowing and seeing things I never dreamed of and also left behind a new family member.
We cannot recommend Exceptional Tours Greece highly enough! Theodore planned an incredible two 1/2 days Athens experience for our family and made everything completely seamless from start to finish. He picked us up promptly from our cruise ship, handled all the logistics, purchased our tickets, and created an itinerary that allowed us to see everything we wanted to see in Athens in a short amount of time. As he drove us around the city, he shared fascinating information about the sights and history, making the experience both enjoyable and educational. One of the highlights was the outstanding private guide, Nancy, he arranged for us at the museums and the Agora. Theodore took us to authentic local restaurants that served some of the best food we had during our time in Greece. What truly set Theodore apart was his exceptional customer service. He was incredibly accommodating when we needed to adjust our pickup time, and he even provided transportation to the airport at the end of our stay. He was always friendly, personable, and kind, and after every stop in the Athens heat, we returned to the car to find cold bottles of water waiting for us. Theodore made Greece an unforgettable experience for us. His attention to detail, hospitality, and genuine care for his guests are unmatched. If you’re visiting Athens and want a stress-free, personalized, and memorable experience, Exceptional Tours Greece is the way to go!
From the moment I received my first response to my web inquiry, I realized that I had found the right company to guide us through the 3 days we would be spending (pre Adriatic cruise) in Athens. “At your service” was an understatement! Door to door service for me and my wife,, expert guide with in depth knowledge of the history, understanding that 1/2 day tours may work better for us because of our 7 hr time zone difference. Our beachside dinner just below the Temple of Poseidon, followed by sunset photos was a true highlight of our 3 days! THANK YOU THEODORE!
We booked with Theodore at Exceptional tours I can’t say enough good things about this company. The cost was very reasonable. Constantine was our guide on all five tours that we chose. The owner Theodore met with us at several locations to ensure we were enjoying our tour. Constantine was professional, courteous, happy and EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE. He made the tours come alive with the history of Greece. FANTASTIC COMPANY AND GUIDE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Theodore was great with communication and our guide for the day Cos was so knowledgeable. We had a family of six with grandparents all the way down to a 2 year old. The team catered to each group and made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Our driver even came back to our hotel after drop off when we realized we left a pair of sunglasses in the car. Athens is massive but we left feeling like we had a great feeling for the city thanks to the tour we booked with Theodore and Cos. 5 stars. Fully recommend!
My wife and I had a wonderful time in Athens. We opted for a private tour for half a day since our schedule would only allow for such visit (we were getting on a cruise). While our tour was brief, we had such an awesome and memorable experience. The timing could not have been perfect. It was spring time and on a Saturday. Traffic and crowd was light. Our tour director (Theodore) picked us up from our hotel early which allowed for a great start to our tour. We visited many must visit sites in Athens. Our schedule was flexible that it even allowed for a time to enjoy the best Gyro in Athens. We also had some time to pick up some souvenirs. Theodore was both very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. This tour was very comprehensive and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour.
I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. I planned a 10 hour layover in Athens and worked with Theodore to plan the trip. He picked me up from the airport on time for our planned trip Theodore had the trip planned well with amble time for each attraction. He had the Acropolis tickets booked and we were there on time. He is very knowledgeable about Greek an d Roman civilizations and his comments added a lot to the sites. It was very helpful for a person with limited knowledge of Greek civilization. He was very pleasant to deal with and made the whole trip lots of fun. If you have time, ask him to take you to an authentic Greek restaurant away from the tourist areas. Well worth it
I cannot express how grateful I am that I booked our tour and car services with Theodore! From start to finish, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and kind—handling every unexpected challenge with grace and efficiency. Despite the travel strikes and unpredictable weather in Greece, Theodore made sure everything ran smoothly. He constantly stayed in touch, adjusted our itinerary on short notice, and ensured we always had reliable transportation to the ferry and the airport. When the weather forced a change of plans, he immediately pivoted and arranged a wonderful visit to a beautiful vineyard outside of Athens—one of the highlights of our trip. The half-day tour of Athens with Petros was equally amazing. Petros was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the city come alive for us. The delicious lunch that followed was the perfect ending to an unforgettable day. Theodore’s flexibility, quick thinking, and genuine care turned what could have been a stressful trip into a memorable and enjoyable experience. He handled every curveball with professionalism and warmth, ensuring we were comfortable and happy throughout. I truly cannot recommend him enough! Theodore and his team truly are your guardian angels in Greece!
We traveled to Athens end of September 2025 to embark on a Viking cruise. We got to Athens a few days early and wanted to do a private tour 3 couples. I contacted Theodore the owner a month or so before our trip to get information on the Athens half day tour. He was very professional and got back to me right away I had a lot of questions and he answered them all in a timely manner. Our tour guide John picked us up at our hotel and we saw the best of Athens. John was very good and knowledgeable and made sure we saw all that we should see in Athens. We then decided to do another tour with them and go to Cape Sounion a day later. We had Dimitris that day and he was awesome as well. After we got on our Viking Cruise we found out our tour in Santorini was cancelled so I contacted Theodore and he hooked us up with a private tour in Santorini which was awesome as well. I would highly recommend Theodore and his company EXCEPTIONAL Tours.
