Beskrivelse
Beat the heat and the crowds by accessing the Acropolis early in the morning with your expert guide on this small-group tour.
Meet your guide at Key Tours office, and reach the south slope of the Acropolis, where you will admire the Dionysus Sanctuary and Dionysus Theater. Walk up the hill leading to the Acropolis and have your camera ready for snapping photos of the historical monuments of Acropolis, including the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the Pedestal of Agrippa.
Having explored the Acropolis site and going downhill, you will admire many significant sights of the Greek capital. Then, you will walk through the unique district of the city, Plaka and for a while, you will forget the city sounds. Go around Anafiotika, the topmost neighborhood of Plaka and discover its tranquil, picturesque, and mystic hidden corners with your guide. Stroll around the innumerable little alleys and admire the old whitewashed mansions with the carved wooden or imposing iron doors and the colorful painted shutters. Find hidden gems of unspoiled beauty and magnificent views and learn secrets unknown even to many Athenians.
After a while, you will arrive at the Bathhouse of the Winds, the only public bath of Athens surviving at the present days. It dates from the first period of Turkish rule (1453 – 1669) and stands near the Roman forum and the Tower of the Winds. Passing by the Roman Forum, the Fethiye Mosque Museum and the Hadrian's Library, you will end up at Monastiraki Square, perhaps the oldest surviving square of the city.
After the end of the tour, you can visit the flea market, one of the best places to buy just about anything or continue strolling and enjoy your lunch or your coffee at one of the little, picturesque shops, creating memories of a lifetime.

Privat rundvisning i Athen med Akropolis og Plaka
De gamle grækere efterlod sig et skattekammer af monumenter, statuer og artefakter i Athen. Og på denne private rundvisning med en ekspertguide kan du se alle de bedste steder. Kun for dig og dit selskab får I en rundvisning til højdepunkterne, herunder den romerske Agora, Hadrians Bibliotek, Plaka-kvarteret og Akropolis, der er på UNESCO's Verdensarvsliste. Vassiliki, en af vores lokale guider, fortæller: "Akropolis betyder "høj by" og henviser normalt til enhver bebyggelse, der er bygget på toppen af en bakke. Du finder mange byer i Grækenland, der har en akropolis, men Akropolis i Athen er helt sikkert den mest berømte".Først bestiger vi det historiske Akropolis og får en guidet rundvisning på stedet. Og med billetter til at springe køen over med, er der ingen ventetid. Nyd den imponerende udsigt over Athen og tag et par billeder af Areopagus, som er en klippebakke, hvor de græske guder, ifølge legenden, skulle have holdt hof. Lad din guide vække historien til live, mens du beundrer antikke seværdigheder som den romerske Agora, Dionysos' teater og de stadig stående søjler af Asklepieion og Parthenon. Derefter går turen videre til byens smukke gamle bydel, Plaka, hovedstadens mest tiltalende og historiske kvarter. Gågaderne, der altid er fyldt med en blanding af lokale og besøgende, prydes af de livlige tavernaer og deres mange borde i gaderne. Vassiliki fortæller: "Athenerne kalder dette område for "gudernes kvarter", da det har været beboet siden det gamle Grækenlands tid. Faktisk viser udgravninger, at gadeforløbet næsten ikke har ændret sig siden antikken".
