Resplan
Akropolis, som dominerar det moderna Atens centrum, var den antika stadens viktigaste och mest majestätiska helgedom, främst tillägnad dess skyddsgudinna Athena.
Dionysos teater eller Dionysos teater Elefthereos är den viktigaste kända friluftsteatern i det antika Aten och anses vara världens första teater. Den låg cirka 3 meter över templet och var en del av Elefthereos helgedom. Dionysos var huvudplatsen för attiskt drama eftersom den var värd för Great Dionysia, Atens största teaterfestival.
Den magnifika Odeon of Herodes Atticus var den sista stora strukturen som byggdes under antiken i Akropolisområdet. Det var en typisk romersk amfiteater från kejsartiden, med en kapacitet på minst 5 000 personer. Monumentet renoverades på 1950-talet och har sedan dess varit värd för kultur evenemang, mestadels i samband med Atenfestivalen.
En särskild huvudingång som går in på insidan är ett vanligt drag för religiösa platser. Det var brukligt i antik grekisk arkitektur att varje betydande religiös plats hade en primär port. Denna stora port, Propylaia, har fått en unik betydelse i Akropolis. Det är varken bara en port som går in i det heliga området, och det är inte bara ett arkitektoniskt bihang till huvudtempelkomplexet. Propylaierna spelar en utsökt och unik roll. De representerar den atenska Akropolis storsint. Det är därför, snarare för att vara en enkel port, är Propylaia magnifikt byggd som ett komplext och harmoniskt offentligt monument.
Parthenon är känt som en av de mest betydelsefulla kulturella platserna i världen som en permanent ikon för antikens Grekland, demokrati och västerländsk civilisation. Det började 447 f.Kr. och byggde på bara nio år (säsongsrekordet) och 438 BC, var klar. Uppdraget med utsmyckning började 438 och slutade 432 f.Kr.
Ett tempel tillägnat gudinnan Athena och Nike på den heliga klippan. Det byggdes cirka 420 f.Kr. och är det första fulla joniska templet på Akropolis.
En utsökt byggnad med speciella attribut och arkitektonisk form på norra sidan av Akropolisklippan. Enligt legenden var det här som Poseidon och gudinnan Athena kämpade om stadens namn.
Det kallas också Olympeion eller Tempel för den olympiska Zeus och byggdes för att hedra gudarnas fader, Zeus som bodde på toppen av berget Olympus.
Hadrianus port i Aten är en romersk båge. Den skapades för att hedra honom under hans vistelse år 131 e.Kr. och ger ingång till den olympiska Zeus tempel.
Ett av de viktigaste kulturminnena i Aten och i Grekland i allmänhet är Panathinaiko-stadion. Den är annars känd som Kallimarmaro och överlever till denna dag i mycket gott skick. Som den nämns i sitt namn var gudinnan Athena i detta skede tillbeddes och av denna anledning anordnades tävlingar till hennes ära varje år. Som ett projekt avslutades det före 600-talet f.Kr., men i sin slutliga form med den dyrbara marmorn kom det efter en lång tid.
Evzonerna utför det berömda "vaktskiftet" på Syntagma, framför monumentet för den okände soldaten, varje timme. Två Evzoner kommer framför den okände soldatens monument för att ta platsen för sina kollegor. orörlig bevaka monumentet, starta en imponerande gång genom att sträcka ut sina lemmar vilket är ett fantastiskt spektakel. Samma steg följs av Evzones som kommer att ersätta dem. När föreställningen, som varar cirka 15 minuter, är över, står Evzones fortfarande att vakta monumentet medan deras trötta kollegor återvänder till sina baracker för att vila.
Monumentet över den okände soldaten används som referenspunkt och hyllning till de döda grekiska soldaterna vid de två nationella firandet av Grekland den 25/3/1821 och 28/8/1940
Det grekiska parlamentet är en tidlös ikon som är en del av det grekiska kulturminnet idag. Strukturen har utvecklats, förändrats och uppdaterats genom åren.
Syntagmatorget är ett av Atens mest centrala torg, och möjligen det största i stadens centrum.
Denna byggnad var intimt kopplad till grekisk historia och fungerade som den grekiska nationalförsamlingens första permanenta plats.
Landets mest prestigefyllda forskningsinstitut skapades 1926 och övervakas av utbildningsministeriet. Akademiens huvudbyggnad är ett anmärkningsvärt landmärke i Aten.
Det grundades 1837 och är inte bara Greklands första universitet, utan också Balkanhalvön samt ett östra Medelhavet.
Det skapades av den danske arkitekten Theophil Hansen som en del av hans berömda trilogi av nyklassiska strukturer, som också inkluderade akademin och universitetsbyggnaden i Aten.
Kullen var en sten som gudinnan Athena bar i sina händer och den föll för henne i Aten när hon hörde de dåliga nyheterna att en kråka bar till henne. På toppen av Lycabettus, prydd med kyrkan Agios Georgios, kommer du att se Aten och Saroniska viken.
Forntida Agora var centrum för det offentliga livet. Flera gånger drog det vidöppna området atenarnas uppmärksamhet.
Plaka är Atens äldsta och mest natursköna stadsdel, som har varit bebodd sedan antiken och fortsätter till denna dag. Gudarnas distrikt, som det är känt, påminner om gamla Aten, komplett med antikviteter och bysantinska kyrkor. Det är en plats där du kan njuta av autentiska smaker från Grekland. Ha en trevlig måltid!
Monastiraki betyder "litet kloster" på grekiska, eftersom ett stort kloster ursprungligen fanns på områdets stora torg.

Nasos prides himself on being a Spartan who will show you Athens as a traveler and not a tourist. His knowledge and experience allowed us to see many amazing sites in a short time window and in some ways we would not have known otherwise. He also was flexible and gave several options to ensure the tour met our expectations. Suggest evening tour timed with sunset.
What a wonderful review, thank you! We are delighted that your evening in Athens turned into such a special experience and that the tour matched exactly what you were hoping for. Sunset in Athens really is something special, and we hope you’ll join us again on a future visit to Greece!
Aristotle as our tour guide was amazing! Our group was mixed in activity level and ages and they were able to accommodate us and tailor the activity to our needs. This was so educational and we had a great time. Do not hesitate to book a tour!
What a wonderful review, thank you! We are so pleased your group had such an enjoyable night in Athens and that the experience suited everyone so well. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we would love to welcome you back to Greece again in the future!
It was a great experience. Our tour guide was awesome and very knowledgeable. Our driver was fantastic
Thank you for your kind feedback! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your evening tour and had such a great experience with our team. We truly appreciate your support and hope to see you again on a future visit to Greece!
Our guide was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and we were given information I don’t think we would have gotten with any other guide. Was my first time in Athens and we were given so much information that I don’t think any other guide could have done. We really enjoyed our tour very much. I’d rate him an excellent.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We are thrilled that your first time in Athens left you with such positive memories. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope your travels bring you back to Greece again someday!
Aris was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and personalized our tour. The vehicle was top notch and very comfortable. We learned so much about Athens and were able to see many major sights.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted that your evening in Athens was such an enjoyable and memorable experience. Your kind words and recommendation are truly appreciated, and we hope to welcome you back to Greece again in the future!
Our guide, Dennis, is beyond exceptional!! This was the best of multiple tours we took in Athens. Since Dennis is an experienced former Presidential Guard he gave us keen insight into the responsibilities of guarding Parliament and the President of Greece’s home. He also took us to a scenic spot only the locals know that gave us a wonderful view of the city of roughly 4 million. Next we saw the Olympic Stadium that they built for the 1890 Olympics. The grand finale was a nighttime view of the Acropolis. We highly recommend the Athens by Night Private Sightseeing Tour with Dennis as your guide!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It is truly rewarding to hear that your evening in Athens stood out among your experiences. Dennis will be very happy to know how much you appreciated his knowledge and the unique perspective he shared, especially given his background. We hope to welcome you back to Athens again in the future for another memorable journey!
Nasos was such an amazing tour guide! He was so much fun to spend time with on our last in Athens. Amazing! He was able to pivot…as we had seen most of the major tourist attractions that day. He took us to some of the best hidden gems around Athens that evening. He knew exactly where to be for the best sunset ever. And he’s an incredible photographer…with just a cell phone. He had a wealth of information. PLUS-he also does food tours. He took us to a fantastic tavern for some of the best food we had in Athens. The next time I go to Greece, I will definitely take his food tour. And I highly recommend him to anybody who has the opportunity to visit Athens. He’s like family now.
Thank you for your lovely review! It’s wonderful to hear your evening in Athens was so memorable! Nasos loves sharing the city’s secrets and we’re glad you could enjoy the views, local flavors, and special spots he revealed along the way. We’d be happy to welcome you back for another unique experience!
Nasos was incredibly fun and knowledgeable. We had already seen many of the sites that day so he was awesome making a change to the tour and instead took us to the best places off the tourist trap for great shopping and food. He took us up to Lycabettus Hill for a spectacular sunset AND he is quite a photog. Nasos knew all the right places to shoot and how to take pics in such beautiful ways. He really is such joy and loves his job. Next time we want to try one of his food tours, but this time we had to head home the next day. You must give this amazing tour a try. We miss you Nasos! Amy and Bindu
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're absolutely delighted that you had a memorable experience exploring Athens with Nasos. We can't wait to welcome you back for more great adventures in the future!
I went on the tour with my sister. We had an an absolutely wonderful time! Our tour guide Nasos was so nice. He picked us up early so we could have as much time as we could at Acropolis by avoiding rush hour traffic. The views were stunning, and we got some amazing photos of it at sunset. We enjoyed hearing the history of it and the symbols important to it. He also had supplementary materials for us to view about some of the places we saw. One thing we really appreciated was that there is an elevator to get to the top. My sister has trouble walking, and she would not have been able to get to the top and back otherwise. He had a wealth of knowledge about the places we saw, and we really enjoyed hearing about how the places came to be and the history behind them. Not only did we see the tourist areas, but we also saw Athens behind the scenes that many visitors to likely don't get to see. We saw the changing of the guards which was one of the most memorable stops for me. When he found out we hadn't had time to get any olive oil or souvenirs (we were in Athens for only a day and I literally went on the tour as soon as I arrived from the airport), he took us to the nicest store with so many beautiful items. We were able to get olive oil, and some lovely gifts for family and friends. I really love the Pythagorean cup I got which was prompted by seeing a demonstration of how it works. It has a lot of meaning for me because it has Poseidon on it, and I had just completed a 33.3k swim in Skopelos the day before. We finished the night off with an amazing meal and drinks, a rare treat indeed as some of the things we sampling were of limited availability which made it even more special. We definitely will be recommending this tour and Nasos to family, friends, and colleagues, and will plan to return so we can have more time exploring and learning about the wonderful culture and heritage of Greece!

It was a pleasure having you on our tour, and we hope you left with great memories (and maybe a few new favorite spots!). We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Nasos was our tour guide and he was so wonderful. He was super communicative before and during the tour regarding when and where we were being picked up, and all other things regarding the tour. Our tour was phenomenal— we felt like we got a great feel for athens— all in one night. We went to the Acropolis city and Nasos was so knowledgeable about all things Athens— including the acropolis. He also showed us the changing of the guards by the president residence, which was such a unique experience to see it close up. He took us to a local spot for drinks and dessert, and was extremely flexible depending on what we wanted to experience. He was so kind and would recommend him and this tour a million times!
Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience with us. Providing an informative and luxurious experience is our priority, and we're delighted that your driver met your expectations. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another unforgettable tour in the future!
