The Mythological world inhabited by the Ancient Greeks was not one of the fairytales, but one filled with a pantheon of real Gods, who it was possible to talk to, summon up, or just meet by chance when they visited the mortal world.

Bad or good decisions could lead to punishments like transformation into animals, or bestow fortune such as victory in battle. Multi-headed Hydras inhabited lakes, Centaurs lived in dark mountain caves, Griffins flew the skies, and the islands surrounding Athens were full of beasts with special powers, from Minotaurs and Sirens. No wonder the mythology of the ancient world formed part of everyday life for local Athenians who carved these beliefs into every monument for us to see today.

So join your private guide and step back 2500 years for a fun and educational tour bringing the mythology of Athens to life in front of you.

Temple of Olympian Zeus

Dedicated to Zeus head of the Olympian Gods, this colossal Temple pre-dates the Acropolis and is the largest ever constructed and home to one of the wonders of the ancient world; a gigantic statue of Zeus seated on a throne over 12 meters tall and encrusted with gold, ivory & Jewels. At the golden sandals of the god sat an olive oil reservoir that reflected on the statue making it appear that the god would rise up and lift of the temple roof. One can only imagine the impact it had on the visitors of the day over 2500 years before! The starting point for the tour is located opposite the temple so you will start with the stories & myths surrounding Zeus and his influence on the citizens of Athens.

Learn of their competition, uncover the riddles of the Parthenon, the events behind the myths and the relevance of these monuments both then and now in the lives of Athenians.

Amazing tour with Elina — We took the Acropolis & Slopes plus Agora tour, which was 3 hours and well worth it! Elina was very informative, answered all our questions and added a lot of color and context to the entire area. Before booking, I had a difficult time determining whether a private tour would be worth it and if it was best to book a tour guide ahead (or if there were guides available at the gates — there is not!) and I can confidently say both were necessary. We got so much more out of it having Elina guide us through the sites and it was well worth the cost. We also went in the late afternoon (15:30) and the sites were slightly less crowded and the heat was cooling off. The Acropolis & Slopes was the highlight — while the Agora was great, it wasn’t a necessity and makes for a long afternoon. This tour is unique in that it starts at the Arch of Hadrian & the Temple of Zeus, so we go a little extra history beyond the Acropolis and Agora. Overall, really awesome tour with great communication from the company leading up to the tour (e.g., they helped us determine which timed entry tickets to purchase for the Acropolis & Agora — in our experience, “skip the line” tickets were not necessary, the line moves quickly once they open the gates for your time slot), highly recommend!
