Self-guided Discovery Walk in Athens hidden gems and history

Privat rundtur i Athen med Akropolis og Plaka

De gamle grekerne etterlot seg en skattkiste av monumenter, statuer og gjenstander i Athen. Og på denne turen får du oppleve alle høydepunktene med en privat guide. Dere besøker blant annet den romerske agoraen, Hadrians bibliotek, Plaka-området og den UNESCO-listede Akropolis. Vassiliki, en av våre dyktige lokalguider, sier: "Akropolis betyr "høy by", og det refererer vanligvis til enhver bosetning bygget på toppen av en ås. Du vil finne mange byer i Hellas som har en akropolis, men Akropolis i Athen er absolutt den mest kjente."Du starter med en guidet tur på Akropolis – med gå-forbi-køen-billetter er det ingen ventetid. Nyt wow-faktor-utsikten over Athen ved Areopagos – en steinete høyde der legenden sier at de greske gudene ville holde hoffet. La guiden bringe historien til live mens du beundrer gamle landemerker som den romerske agoraen, Dionysos-teatret og de fortsatt stående søylene i Asklepieion og Parthenon.Deretter går turen videre til byens Instagram-verdige gamle bydel, Plaka – hovedstadens mest tiltalende og historiske bydel. Gågatene er alltid fulle av en blanding av lokalbefolkningen og besøkende, og er fulle av tavernaer med bordene ute i gatene. Vassiliki sier: "Athenerne kaller dette området «gudenes nabolag», ettersom det har vært bebodd siden antikkens Hellas. Faktisk viser utgravninger at gateplanet knapt har endret seg siden antikken."
