Outdoors Athens Full Day

Licensed Tourist Guide

Perfect Tour

We have been to Athens, the Acropolis, and the Acropolis Museum several times before, but this time we took a tour with Onoufrios. It was fantastic. He does a wonderful job conveying the historical,
Archaeological, and linguistic importance of everything we saw. We loved It and couldn’t recommend him more. Will definitely be back to hire him for other tours.

Excellent Tour Guide

Four of us booked Onoufrios for a 3 day tour of Athens and surrounding areas. He is extremely knowledgeable and truly a fun person to spend time with. Be sure to book the Corinth Canal day which included super driver, George. He treated us like royalty! Look no further. This is the guide that you want. Check out Onoufrios' website.

Seen the best of Athens!

We hired Onoufrios for a private 1/2 day tour of the Acropolis and surrounding areas. He met us on time, and did an amazing job of keeping us away from the crowds while we toured. He was knowledgeable but more importantly, he was personable and so enthusiastic. Not only did he give us an excellent tour, he also suggested restaurants and other places to visit. Highly recommend!!

Ancient Greece Comes Alive

Onoufrious' expert commentary made our day in Athens as much about the people of ancient Greece as the architecture. He had a special way of conveying visual details to help us understand and retain the historical timelines. We also did his Corinth, Mycenae, Epidaurus and Nafplio Private Tour, which augmented and reinforced what we learned in Athens. Since we had heard numerous times "This is a replica--the original is in Athens", we squeezed the National Archaeological Museum Private Tour in on our last day. He found many interesting artifacts in a rather stody museum. Highly recommended.

Acropolis

The Acropolis, a UNESCO site, has always been the fortress and most important religious centre of ancient Athens. The buildings included inside the Acropolis are: Parthenon, Erechthion, Odeon of Herodes (Herodion), Temple of Athena Nike, Propylea, Theatre of Dionysus.

Step
02

Arios Pagos Hill

This small hill overlooking was dedicated to Ares, God of War, and used to be one of the courts of the ancient city. Christians might also know it as Areopagus or Mars Hill, since this is where St. Paul preached.

Step
03

Pnyka and Nymphs Hills, Koile Road

We'll see the ‘Hill of Democracy’, where the Athenians voted. The Nymphs were worshiped nearby on a hill that now hosts the Observatory. We will also see ruins of the only accessible paved road of Athens.

Step
04

Philopappou Hill & Site

Not only does it offer one of the best views of the Acropolis and a panoramic view of Athens and the islands but it also hosts remnants of an ancient tomb.

Step
05

Areopagitou Street

One of Europe’s longest pedestrian streets and named after Athens' first Christian convert, this street is a beautiful and busy walking area connecting major sites as well as some hidden ones...

Hadrian's Arch

A monumental arch built by the Athenians to honour the Greek-loving Roman emperor.

Step
07

Alexander the Great Statue

A recent addition to the city, this modest statue is dedicated to the ‘greatest Greek of all times’. It will give us the chance to talk about Alexander from Macedonia and the country that is wrongfully using the name of his birthplace now...

Temple of Zeus

Once the biggest building in Athens 1,900 years ago, the temple of the king of the Gods originally had over 100 Corinthian columns.

Zappion

Originally the first Olympic Village ever built, this building is surrounded by a small park scattered with ancient ruins and statues.

National Garden

A pleasant break from the city bustle, the garden was created by the first King and Queen of Greece, at a time when watering it meant cutting the water supply for the rest of the city...

Step

Agora

The Agora, known as the 'birthplace of Democracy', is where you can see the parliament of the Athenian Democracy, the Temple of Hephaestus, the best-preserved temple in Greece and the place where Socrates taught and was executed 2,500 years ago.
