Beskrivelse
Experience the Temple of Hephaistos and the Church of the Holy Apostles among the most notable parts of the ancient Agora. The Temple of Hephaistos is the world’s best-preserved ancient Greek Doric temple in the world while St. Paul, one of Jesus’s twelve apostles, used to visit and preach in the Church of The Holy Apostles.
The Agora in Athens was one of the most important sites for ancient Greek society. It was the center of political, social, religious and commercial activities. The site is located at the foot of the Acropolis. In Greek, the word “agora” means “a gathering place” or “market place”. As the name says, it had actually been for centuries a place where merchants and sellers sold goods to those who gathered in this place. Here, people would also exchange news, gossips, discuss the latest political matters and even criticize the government. This was also the place where prominent Greek philosophers such as Socrates, Aristotle and Plato shared thoughts and ideas.
The area of the ancient Agora includes some of the most important monuments of Athens such as the Temple of Hephaistos, the Altar of The Twelve Gods, the Apollon Patroos, the Church of the Holy Apostles and the Roman Agora.

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".
