Full description

Starting near Hadrian's Arch, this walk threads Athens' history together with its myths. The guide covers the city's origins, prosperity and conflicts while visiting the Parthenon, Theater of Dionysus, Athena Nike temple and Erechtheion, with the Temple of Olympian Zeus seen from outside.

Some packages extend to the Ancient Agora and the Temple of Hephaestus. A certified guide tells the stories in their historical setting, and a city map is included.

Reviewers appreciate the humour, the shaded stops and the visual aids, and visitors with stair difficulties should raise accessible entry with the guide.
