Itinerário
Localizado entre a Acrópole e o rio Ilissos, o colossal Olympeion foi um dos maiores templos antigos de Zeus e um dos edifícios de mármore mais famosos do mundo antigo. Falaremos sobre o Templo e suas histórias de fora.
O maior e melhor santuário da antiga Atenas, dedicado principalmente ao seu patrono, a deusa Atena, tem dominado o centro da cidade há milênios. Os monumentos da Acrópole (o Partenon, o Templo de Atena Nike, o Erechteion, o Propylae, o Teatro de Dionísio, ...), todas obras-primas únicas da arquitetura antiga, influenciaram a arte e a cultura por muitos séculos e estão em harmonia. com seu ambiente natural.
Dionísio era o deus do vinho e da colheita da uva. O teatro de Dionísio foi o mais antigo a ser fundado em Atenas; foi neste teatro que se apresentaram pela primeira vez as obras insuperáveis de Ésquilo, Sófocles, Eurípides e Aristófanes.
O Templo de Atena Nike foi dedicado às deusas Atena e Nike. Nike era a deusa da vitória na mitologia grega, e Atena era adorada dessa forma, representativa de ser vitoriosa na guerra. Diz-se que a estátua de culto da deusa no templo não tinha asas para que ela nunca saísse de Atenas.
O Erechtheion é um antigo templo grego construído na Acrópole de Atenas para abrigar a antiga estátua de culto de madeira de Atena e geralmente glorificar a grande cidade no auge de seu poder e influência.
O Partenon é o templo que domina a colina da Acrópole de Atenas. Foi construído em meados do século V aC e dedicado à deusa grega Athena Parthenos (“Athena the Virgin”). O templo é geralmente considerado o culminar do desenvolvimento da ordem dórica, a mais simples das três ordens arquitetônicas gregas clássicas.
A Ágora era o coração da antiga Atenas, o foco da atividade política, comercial, administrativa e social, o centro religioso e cultural e a sede da justiça.
O magnífico templo de Hefesto, um dos templos antigos mais bem preservados do mundo, era o local de adoração de duas divindades importantes para muitos mercadores e lojistas da Antiga Ágora: deus Hefesto, protetor de todos os metalúrgicos, e a deusa Athena Ergani, protegendo todos os ceramistas e as indústrias caseiras.

Tour guide Michael's knowledge of Greek mythology was encyclopedic: every story and legend came alive as he wove them into the history around us. Michael paced the climb up the Acropolis beautifully, building in plenty of shaded stops so the heat never became unbearable, which made a huge difference on a challenging walk. His sense of humor kept things light and engaging throughout, and he struck the perfect balance between sharing information and giving us free time to take it all in. Couldn't have asked for a better guide!
Christina was incredible!! She was so knowledgeable and made the tour so fun. It was very hot and she gave us lots of breaks to cool down while she explained the history and showed us photos. Would highly recommend this tour - particularly for anyone with an interest in mythology as the tour was definitely focused on the mythology history for each sight.
We had a wonderful experience with Eleni! Very informative and a great way to see the major sights. I’ve been to most of the places in the past, but without a guide and felt like this was a MUCH better way to go.
My family had a fantastic time and learned a lot on our Athens Highlights Mythology Tour. Our guide Evan was fantastic. I would highly recommend booking this tour with Alternative Athens.
Great tour, passionate guide! Thank you
Wonderful, knowledgeable guide. Hotter than blazes, but we made it to unforgettable and amazing sights.
There are so many options for Acropolis guided tour but I picked this tour as this tour is the set of Acropolis and Ancient Agora and focuses on Greek mythology. All other tours are the set of Acropolis and museum. We were very lucky to have Alex as our guide as he has postgraduate degrees in Archaeology and full of passion and knowledge in ancient Greek history. It would be great if he can do guided tour for Acropolis museum in future!
The tour was long and hot with very little shade or resting areas. The tour guide Kalli was great though! She’s very passionate about the mythology and information she was giving us. She could be more aware of her audience as some in the group were struggling with the heat. There were times there were shade options near the locations she stopped to tell us information but didn’t move us to the shade. Unfortunately, we had a bad experience at the Parthenon, but nothing to do with the tour or guide. We were taking a picture of our little travel stuffed animal that goes everywhere with us, and a security lady blew a loud whistle and was yelling at us causing a big scene as she enforced a supposed rule that was not posted anywhere, no signage, or told to us by anyone. We were not doing anything wrong like touching anything, or standing in an area closed off to tourists. She was enforcing a rule that she likely made up. Even if it was an actual rule, she could have handled it professionally and QUIETLY without causing a scene. Obviously we didn’t know of the rule or we wouldn’t have done it. A calm approach and telling us the picture was not allowed would have been more appropriate. She even forced me to delete all my pictures and clear them off all locations on my phone. This was unacceptable and should be reported, or signage or even printed a rule book should be given to all visitors at the entrance if they are going to enforce dumb rules.
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and appreciated Kalli, our guide. We were, however, a little surprised by the two-star rating, as the main concern mentioned in your review relates to the Acropolis security staff and site regulations, which are outside the control of our company and guide. To help other travelers, you may wish to share your comments about the security procedures on the Acropolis’s review page, where they would be more relevant. Thank you again for joining us. We hope this was an isolated incident and that you enjoyed the rest of your time in Greece.
We had a fantastic time on this tour with our extremely knowledgeable guide! He shared so much information with us about ancient and current day Greece, with honesty and depth I did not expect. He has two masters degrees and was a practicing archaeologist and it was very apparent during our time together. This was my husband and I’s favorite activity we did in Athens by a mile and would recommend it to everyone coming through the city!
Super fun half day experience and our guide, Rania, was the best! We ended up getting a little lost to the meeting point so I called the customer line and they immediately responded and told us to meet the group at the acropolis entrance instead since we were close and to meet the group there to avoid missing the entry time to the site. They had great communication and sent us a message with a picture of our guide so we could find her easily and a map link to where we will meet them. We met them easy then and go to rejoin the group without any stress. Be prepared for lots of walking but it is 1000% worth it for the beautiful historic sites
