    This tour will give us the opportunity to visit the Ancient Agora of Athens which is the largely green area in between Monastiraki and the Acropolis, as well as discover the secrets of Greek gastronomic tradition. After your pick-up from your hotel, we are heading towards Monastiraki square, a can’t-miss spot of the city of Athens, from ancient rivers and huge libraries to thousand-year-old churches and cursed mosques; Monastiraki square is arguably a place of wonder.

    We cross the Monastiraki square and we get closer to the Ancient Agora of Athens, in the shadow of Acropolis or the Athenian Forum if you may, which was the heart of ancient Athens, the focus of political, commercial, administrative and social activity, the religious and cultural centre, and the seat of justice. Today it’s one of the city's most important archeological sites.Not only you will get to see the most well preserved classic temple, dedicated to Volcan, but you will have the chance to step in a Stoa or portico, that houses the findings of the site today. This Stoa is reconstructed back in the 50s and its one of the most fascinating buildings-museums in the city!

    After our visit to Ancient Agora, we cross Athinas street getting to the Varvakios Agora (Athens Central Market). This is literally the Grand Central Station of food, where people from all walks of life converge to discover the freshest and most delicious ways to satiate their hunger. As we get down towards the Varvakios, we will stop for a while to taste kouloúria (sesame bread rings).Make no mistake; everyone shops here, from celebrity chefs to neighborhood grocery store owners. Named after one of Greece’s national heroes, philanthropist and gentleman Ioannis Varvakis (1745-1825), it is a tribute to the everyman, as the Athens Central Market, aka the Varvakios, knows no class divides.We will wander in the meat market and the fish market to get to know the riches of the Greek seas, buy fruits and vegetables and finally, we will try a traditionally - brewed Greek coffee.

    Further down on Evripidou street we will stop at the well-known “Miran”charcuterie, to taste “tsipouro“or “ouzo” with pastrami, delicious sausages and smoked pork meat from the north or the south of Greece.

    Our tour will finish at around 13:00 and we are heading towards your hotel.

    What You Can Expect

    This tour will take you to Athens in all possible ways. We will find Ancient Athens everywhere on this route. We start from your hotel where your English speaking professional guide and your luxury car will meet you. Our first stop will be the most beautiful, the most ancient and the most imposing monument in the world. The Acropolis. From here we will imagine life in Ancient Greece and we will talk about the life of the people who created the culture.

    Ending our tour of the Acropolis, we will visit the Panathenaic Stadium, where the Olympic Games began. The Panathenaic Stadium is a classic and cultural monument of Greece and one of the most important monuments not only for Athens but for the whole of Greece. It is one of our city's most popular tourist attractions and one of Athens' landmarks.

    Leaving the Panathenaic Stadium we will head to Syntagma Square in the heart of Modern Athens. We will take pictures of the Evzones. The name Evzones or Evzonoi refers to the members of the Presidential Guard, a ceremonial unit that guards the Greek Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
    We depart and proceed to visit the most beautiful Neoclassical building in Europe. The Academy's main building is one of the major landmarks of Athens and part of the so-called Trilogy. The organization of the Academy of Athens, whose title harks back to the ancient Academy of Plato, was first established on 18 March 1926.

    After this visit we head to the heart of Modern Athens and try our 'Tastings' to get to know it better. We will see Varvakio .... Varvakios Agora (Athens Central Market). This is literally the Grand Central Station of food. Make no mistake; all shops are here, from celebrity chefs to neighborhood grocery store owners. We will wander in the meat market and the fish market to get to know the riches of the Greek seas, buy fruits and vegetables and finally we will stop at the well-known "Miran", a taste of "tsipouro" or "ouzo" with pastrami, delicious sausages and smoked pork from the north or south of Greece. This is where our tour ends. Your guide and your driver will accompany you to your hotel.
