 Day 1An afternoon visit of Athens Historic Centre, the New Acropolis Museum and the Ancient Agora.
We start our visit with the magnificent and impressive new Acropolis museum. Admire the wonders of the classical era, the statues and the incredible art samples which at last found their home. Then we approach Plaka (the neighborhood of the Gods) the old city of Athens. Walking on its paved narrow streets you get the feeling that you are travelling back in time. We go by Lysikrates monument, the church of St. Nikolaos Rangavas (11th Cent.), the Roman market before reaching and visit the Greek Agora along with the amazing temple of Hephaistos (5th Cent. B.C.). The agora, which extends over the North and#8211? West slopes of the Acropolis, was the heart of Ancient Athens from the late 6th century B.C. onwards. It was a place for political gatherings and debate, for elections, religious occasions and trading activities, theatrical performances and athletic competitions. N. B. 1) Due to certain restrictions in the visiting hours of the new Acropolis museum the order of the program can be changed. N. B. 2) If at any case the Ancient Agora is closed the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first Olympic Games of modern times were held in 1896, will be visited instead. > Tour Gallery
