What's included in Athens Full Day Private Tour 4seat
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Acropolis
The Acropolis hill (άκρον: the highest point and πόλις: city), also known as the “Sacred Rock” of Athens, is the most important site of the city and one of the most famous monuments in the world. It is the most significant reference point of ancient Greek culture, as well as the symbol of the city of Athens. In the 5th century BC, the Greek statesman of the Athens golden Age, Pericles, coordinated the construction of the site's most important remains, including the Parthenon, the Propylaia, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike. The Parthenon and the other monuments were seriously damaged during the 1687 siege by the Venetians during the Sixth Ottoman-Venetian War.
Acropolis Museum
The Acropolis Museum is one of the most significant contemporary works of architecture in Athens designed by the architects B. Tschumi and M. Fotiadi and was completed in 2007. It hosts valuable findings of Acropolis monuments −4,000 exhibits− which represent the history of Ancient Athens. Some of the most significant exhibits are: The Moschoforos, Alexander the Great, Sculptures decorating the Parthenon, the Caryatids, the daughter of Antenoros and the Archaic Kores.
Tempio Di Zeus Olimpio
The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple in the center of Greek Athens, dedicated to the Olympian god Zeus. The construction of the Temple began in the 6th century BCE by the tyrant Peisistratos, but was completed after almost 700 years by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 131 AD. During the Roman period, the temple, which included 104 colossal columns, was renowned the largest temple in Greece and hosted one of the largest religious statues in the ancient world. Today, however, only 16 of the columns exist, with one of which is lying on the ground.
