Cần Quan Tâm
Acropolis
For twenty-five centuries, the panorama of this city is dominated by the rock of the Acropolis. Walk uphill to visit the Acropolis and see the principal buildings: the Propylaia, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion and the magnificent Parthenon
Parthenon
The Parthenon is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. Construction began in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the peak of its power. It was completed in 438 BC, although decoration of the building continued until 432 BC. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered the zenith of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, Athenian democracy and Western civilization,[6] and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments. To the Athenians who built it, the Parthenon and other Periclean monuments of the Acropolis were seen fundamentally as a celebration of Hellenic victory over the Persian invaders and as a thanksgiving to the gods for that victory

Excellent Company Great Service

4.00I brought with me a group of 70 people on my recent visit to Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Ephesus and Cyprus. My main contact was Mariniki from Achtypis Tours. I cannot imagined how I can manage my group without the help of Mariniki. She was excellent in all aspect, from the beginning like 1 year ago in the planning stage till the last day of the trip. All my transfers and shore excursions were perfect. Guides always on time and that was important for me. A couple of the tours and guides were not as good as I preferred but I can understand how distracted it can be with such a big group. Overall very satisfied with the service, the price and the professionalism. I even have the chance to meet the boss Mr. Takis Achtypis, what a wonderful human being, so respectful. I highly recommended anyone to book with them with confidence.

5.00Katarina was a great guide. She was knowledgeable and easy to understand. She knew a LOT! The Parthenon was packed when we went as it had been intermittently closed during the previous week. She got all 8 of us in and out of there with some time to walk about on our own. We had 8 couples in a bus built for more so we had room to spread out. It was a fairly warm July morning. The tour was actually 4-1/2 hours due to traffic. I think it was a great value.

5.00Dee met us at the docks with the van and a driver. She was very knowledgeable and explained what everything was as we drove into Athens. She took us to Olympic stadium where we stopped for a few pictures. She timed it just right so we got to see the changing of the guards at the Presidental Palace before we were off the the Acropolis. Lots of steps but we're took it slow and it was well worth the hike!

5.00The tour guide stayed with us for the whole tour and spoke wonderful English. She navigated the crowds and procured our tickets without any trouble. She stayed with one of our travelers who was unable to go to the top of the Parthenon. We never felt that there was no one looking out for us in the sweltering heat. Her explanations made all the difference in seeing the sites. The van was air conditioned spacious and a Godsend as we traveled with little ones in tow. Most happy we took this tour!!! No regrets! Worth every dime!!! - especially With the heat and excess crowds. I tell all my patients that this is the only way to see Athens and the Parthenon.

5.00We arrived to Athens from our cruise ship and met our tour guide at the port. She picked up our party of six and took us to see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Olympic stadium which was used for the 1st modern Olympics in 1896. She then took us to see the Parthenon and two amphitheaters near the Acropolis. Amazing excursion with our guide who was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. I highly recommend this tour and would do it again in a heartbeat.
