Mythology, Philosophy and Democracy Tour
Beskrivning
Från myternas rike till förnuftets grunder. Det antika Greklands fantastiska resa från blind tro till sökandet efter förklaringar till allt okänt! Detta är inte den vanliga "turistiska" turen utan snarare en filosofisk promenad, mellan de gamla landmärken som ger det bästa landskapet för att överblicka denna fantastiska omvandling. De försokratiska filosoferna gav oss vad som kan betraktas som den enda sanna ”upptäckten” inom vetenskapen: att vår värld kan förstås genom naturlagar vars identifiering kunde göra det möjligt för människor att förstå sin omgivning, och även sig själva... Låt oss tillsammans utforska denna fascinerande förändring i människans uppfattning och ta reda på var vi står idag!

Resplan
Denna plats var hjärtat av staden Aten. Filosofer som Sokrates, Platon, politiker som Solon, Themistokles, Perikles, Thukydides, Sofokles, Aristofanis, som bestod av Atens "Drömteam", framstående atenare och enkla medborgare gick här och hade diskussioner och debatter för alla frågor.
Vi tar en lätt promenad genom Atens färgglada loppmarknad med många antikviteter och turistbutiker.
Hadrianus bibliotek skapades av romerske kejsaren Hadrianus år 132 e.Kr. på norra sidan av Akropolis i Aten och var den näst största i världen, då.
Den romerska agoran i Aten ligger norr om Akropolis och öster om den antika agoran.
Den åttakantiga byggnaden kallad Vindarnas torn gjordes av astronomen Andronicus av Kyrristos, på 1:a århundradet f.Kr. och fungerade både som vindindikator men också en klocka, så det var Atens "Big Ben" och även den meteorologiska stationen för staden. Klockan var solenergi men i molniga dagar fanns det också en hydraulisk mekanism som producerade ett ljud varje timme! Det anses vara den första meteostationen.
Plaka är en naturskön stadsdel i Aten med små hus och pittoreska smala gator.
Pnyx Hill var världens första parlament. Denna plats erbjuder en fantastisk utsikt över området och är en fantastisk plats för solnedgången. Det är också gratis, precis som de bästa sakerna i livet.
Philoppapos Hill (eller Hill of the Muses) erbjuder de bästa vyerna till Akrpolis och Aten på natten.

Bery ingormational, interesting and educational tour given by a very knowledgeable and good speaker. Panos have a good tour with much information about the politics and democracy of ancient Greece, along with philosophies and myths of the ancient Greeks and how these philosophical thinkers affected modern thinking.
Hello David, many thanks for your comments! My best regards!
Panos was simply amazing. He was engaging and gave some fascinating insights into Athens history and brought the sites alive with stories throughout the 4 hour tour. Lovely guide who catered for the individual needs of those within the group
Hello James, thanks a lot for your great comments! My best regards!
What a great experience. Thank you to Panos, who was kind and generous with his knowledge and insight. A well thought out tour delivered with wit and wisdom. A definite must do. "....nothing is new under the sun..."
Hello, many thanks, you make me feel...clever, hahaha! My best regards!
Very detailed tour covering Ancient Greece and the philosophers and historical people who created the principles of a democratic state. The walk included going up hill over looking Athens. The views were dramatic, especially the evening we went when there was a rainbow. The professor was a little long winded, but in general we really appreciated his knowledge and learned a lot.
We did the tour two days ago and it was the highlight of our trip! Panos was truly excellent. He injected so much fun and humour into the tour; we loved every second. We learned so much and have bookmarked his website for further reading when we get home. The tour covered the history of Athens and how philosophy, democracy and mythology shaped and continue to influence both ancient Athens and the modern world. Panos was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging throughout. We particularly loved the demonstration of Pythagoras’ cup - so much so that we bought one as a souvenir the next day! We saw so many hidden gems of Athens that we would’ve otherwise missed, such as the prison ruins where Socrates was executed and the ancient cemetery. This tour is a wonderful way to explore the city and its extensive, beautiful, complicated culture. Thank you Panos!
Hello Megan, thanks a lot for your very kind words, watch out with the cup, mind the carpets, hahaha! My best regards!
This put a lot off scattered fact into a clearer whole. Our world took big steps forward in Greece. Thank you very much!
Hello Stephen, I am glad I helped you shape a better picture, thank you for your comment! My best regards!
Panos was incredible. He kept us entertained for hours with his endless wit and knowledge about the history of Athens. This is a must-do tour in Athens!
Hello Maryam, thank you for your comments! My best regards to both of you!
Amazing tour! SO glad we booked this one, my partner and two young adult children adored it and said one of the best tours we’ve ever been on.
Hello Amy, I am really glad your children (and you) liked it, this is my best reward! My best wishes to all of you!
Panos was amazing! The entire tour was perfect - a mix of history, engaging conversation, and humor. Thank you for spending the morning with us.
Hello Heidi, I thank you for your great comments! My best regards!
