Ancient Agora of Athens
Admission not included60 min

Η Αρχαία Αγορά της Αθήνας είναι ο ανοικτός χώρος που βρίσκεται εγγύτατα και βορειοδυτικά της Ακρόπολης. Στην αρχαιότητα αποτελούσε διοικητικό, φιλοσοφικό, εκπαιδευτικό, κοινωνικό, πολιτιστικό και κυρίως το οικονομικό κέντρο της πόλης. Την Αρχαία Αγορά διέσχιζε η Οδός των Παναθηναίων από την οποία διερχόταν η μεγάλη πομπή προς την Ακρόπολη κατά την διάρκεια των εορτασμών των Παναθηναίων που θέσπισε ο Πεισίστρατος και τελούνταν το τρίτο έτος κάθε Ολυμπιάδας.

Monastiraki
30 min

Το Μοναστηράκι είναι κεντρική συνοικία της Αθήνας γύρω από την Πλατεία Μοναστηρακίου, η οποία εκτείνεται στη νότια πλευρά της οδού Ερμού, από το ύψος της Πλατείας Μητροπόλεως έως την Πλατεία Θησείου. Γειτνιάζει με τις συνοικίες του Ψυρρή, της Πλάκας και του Θησείου. Η ονομασία της προέρχεται από την παλιά εκκλησία της Κοιμήσεως της Θεοτόκου Αθήνας, που βρίσκεται χτισμένη επί της πλατείας, και παλαιότερα ήταν μετόχι μοναστηριού και συγκεκριμένα, της Μονής Καρέα στον Υμηττό. Στην Πλατεία Μοναστηρακίου δεσπόζει επίσης το παλιό Τζαμί Τζισταράκη που έχει κατασκευαστεί το 1759 και το οποίο σήμερα στεγάζει παράρτημα του Μουσείου Λαϊκής Τέχνης. Η περιοχή του Μοναστηρακίου εθεωρείτο διαχρονικά μέρος της συνοικίας του Ψυρρή, η οποία έφτανε μέχρι το Θησείο και τα όρια της Πλάκας. Άρχισε να υφίσταται ως ξεχωριστή συνοικία μετά τη διάνοιξη της οδού Ερμού το 1835.

Admission not included60 min

Το Μουσείο Ακρόπολης είναι αρχαιολογικό μουσείο επικεντρωμένο στα ευρήματα του αρχαιολογικού χώρου της Ακρόπολης των Αθηνών. Πρόκειται για το δεύτερο σε σπουδαιότητα αρχαιολογικό μουσείο εντός της Ελληνικής επικράτειας, μετά το Εθνικό Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο επί της οδού Πατησίων. Το μουσείο κτίστηκε για να στεγάσει κάθε αντικείμενο που έχει βρεθεί πάνω στον ιερό βράχο της Ακρόπολης και στους πρόποδες του καλύπτοντας μία ευρεία χρονική περίοδο από την Μυκηναϊκή περίοδο έως την Ρωμαϊκή και Παλαιοχριστιανική Αθήνα ενώ ταυτόχρονα βρίσκεται πάνω στον αρχαιολογικό χώρο Μακρυγιάννη, κατάλοιπο των Ρωμαϊκών και πρώιμων βυζαντινών Αθηνών.

Perfect Way to Discover Athens After Our Cruise!

We had a wonderful experience with Lambros! He picked us up directly at the port after our cruise and took us on a tour around Athens. He was very flexible and really listened to what we wanted to see and do, which made the tour feel personalized to us. Lambros was very friendly and knowledgeable about his city, and we learned a lot along the way. The van was comfortable, and having water available for us was a nice touch. Everything was easy and stress-free from start to finish. It was the perfect way to discover Athens after our cruise. We would definitely recommend Lambros to anyone visiting the city!

Awesome Tour Guide

We thought we we're just getting a taxi ride to our hotel but God blessed fully. We were pleasantly surprised that our taxi driver, Labros also did tours of the city. He quoted us a great price, was so knowledgeable about everywhere he took us. He stopped and allowed us to either get out to take pics or paused long enough for photos. When we expressed we were tired he delivered as promised to our hotel and asked if we needed a ride to the airport in the morning, which we agreed immediately. 5 stars for Labros and Athena Private Tours.

Operator response

Dear Lynett Thank you very much for your kindness and your nice comments. It was my pleasure to have you in my City and show you around . I am very sure will meet again soon . Sincerely Lambros Petropoulos

10/10 recommend!

Our private tour of Athens was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece! From the moment we started, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the city’s rich history. Walking through the Acropolis was an unforgettable experience. Seeing the Parthenon and the other ancient temples in person was truly breathtaking. Our guide shared fascinating stories about ancient Greek civilization, mythology, and the significance of each structure, bringing thousands of years of history to life. The tour was well organized, never felt rushed, and gave us plenty of time to take in the sights and ask questions. If you’re visiting Athens, I can’t recommend a private tour enough. It’s the best way to experience the city’s incredible history, architecture, and culture. It was truly an unforgettable day!

Operator response

Dear Rachel Thank you so much for your very kind words about our company . It was a real pleasure to have you here and tour you around our beautiful city. He had an amazing time together and I hope that we meet again in the future. Sincerely Lambros Petropoulos
