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".
