Halvdags privat rundtur i Aten med besök på Akropolis och Plaka

De gamla grekerna lämnade efter sig en skattkista av monument, statyer och artefakter i Aten. På den här privata rundturen får du se alla de bästa platserna tillsammans med en kunnig guide. Exklusivt för dig och ditt sällskap får ni se höjdpunkter som romerska Agora, Hadrianus bibliotek, stadsdelen Plaka och UNESCO-listade Akropolis. Vassiliki, en av våra lokala guider, säger: "Akropolis betyder "hög stad" och syftar vanligtvis på en bosättning som är byggd på toppen av en kulle. Det finns många städer i Grekland som har en akropolis, men Atens akropolis är utan tvekan den mest berömda.Du börjar med en guidad rundtur på Akropolis - med gå-förbi-kön-biljetter behöver du inte vänta. Njut av den fantastiska utsikten över Aten från Areopagen - en klippig kulle där de grekiska gudarna enligt legenden skulle ha hållit hov. Låt din guide väcka historien till liv medan du beundrar antika landmärken som den romerska Agora, Dionysos teater och de fortfarande stående pelarna i Asklepieion och Parthenon. Sedan fortsätter vi till stadens Instagram-värdiga gamla kvarter, Plaka - huvudstadens mest tilltalande och historiska stadsdel. Gågatorna är alltid fulla av en blandning av lokalbefolkning och besökare, och de är fulla av tavernor vars bord står utställda på gatorna. Vassiliki säger: "Athenarna kallar det här området för "gudarnas kvarter", eftersom det har varit bebott sedan det antika Grekland. Faktum är att utgrävningar visar att gatunätet knappt har förändrats sedan antiken.
