Just a couple of hours after sunrise,when the city begins to wake up, it's the perfect time for you to discover, far from the crowds, the most significant architectural and artistic ensemble that Greek antiquity bequeathed to the world. The Acropolis and its monuments are considered universal symbols of the classical spirit and Western civilization. These white Pentelic marble masterpieces are the crown jewels of Athens.

Stroll through the ancient streets of the Plaka area to Anafiotika,a secret "island" within Athens, past the Roman Agora and Hadrian's Library and arrive at Monastiraki Square, a popular meeting point with a long history.
Continue your tour to the Ancient Agora where the greatest Greeks like Plato, Socrates, Demosthenes and many world-renowned philosophers walked and taught their thought. Explore the temples and imagine ancient life under their famous long arcades lined with marble columns. During your visit, you will also see the significant artefacts in the Agora Museum, located in the Stoa of Attalus. The exhibits in the Agora Museum will surely fascinate you. Enjoy!
