Overview

are you fascinated by the world of mythology?
are you interested in discovering ancient Greece?
do you want to know the Greece of today?

would you like to travel with me through the city of the goddess Athena, where Pericles, Socrates, Plato and Theseus left their mark?

Get ready to embark on a journey in my time machine, the place where democracy was born and philosophy was consolidated.

During this tour, I will share with you fascinating legends, tales of philosophers in the Agora, the origin of the Olympic Games and the epic rivalry between Athens and Sparta.

But it's not just about history: you'll also discover what life is like in Greece today (the reality is even more surprising than the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"!) + Mythology!

We will explore the core of Athens:

- University Square
- Mint Museum
- Syntagma Square and the changing of the guard
- Mithropoleos (Cathedral Square)
- Plaka
- Roman Agora and Ancient Agora
and much more!

This tour is the ideal way to start your Greek adventure, perfectly combining history, mythology and curiosities.

let's discover Athens together!
