The word acropolis is from the Greek words ἄκρον and πόλις
  • Parthenon, Athens, Greece
    The Parthenon is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patroness. Construction started in 447 BC when the Delian League was at the peak of its power.

  • Tower of the Winds, Athens, Greece
    The Tower of the Winds or the Horologion of Andronikos Kyrrhestes is an octagonal Pentelic marble clocktower in the Roman Agora in Athens that functioned as a horologion or "timepiece". It is considered the world's first meteorological station. Unofficially, the monument is also called Aerides (Greek: Αέρηδες), which means Winds. The structure features a combination of sundials, a water clock, and a wind vane.[1] It was designed by Andronicus of Cyrrhus around 50 BC, but according to other sources, might have been constructed in the 2nd century BC before the rest of the forum. The Athens Ephorate of Antiquities performed restoration work, cleaning and conserving the structure, between 2014 and 2016.

    In the shadow of the Acropolis and its ancient temples, hillside Plaka has a village feel, with narrow cobblestone streets lined with tiny shops selling jewelry, clothes and local ceramics. Sidewalk cafes and family-run tavernas stay open until late, and Cine Paris shows classic movies al fresco. Nearby, the whitewashed homes of the Anafiotika neighborhood give the small enclave a Greek-island vibe

  • Roman Agora, Athens, Greece
    The Roman Agora was built around 100 metres east of the original agora by Eucles of Marathon between 27 BC and 17 BC (or possibly in 10 BC), using funds donated by Augustus, in fulfilment of a promise originally made by Julius Caesar in 51 BC.[1] The Roman Agora has not today been fully excavated, but is known to have been a open space surrounded by a peristyle. To its south was a fountain. To its east, behind a marble colonnade, were shops and an Ionic propylaeum (entrance), the Gate of Athena Archegetis. To its west was a Doric gate, the East Propylon,[2] next to the Tower of the Winds and a set of "vespasianae" (public toilets). An inscription records the existence of an Agoranomion (an office for market officials). The Fethiye Mosque was built to the north during the Ottoman period.

This tour was absolutely fantastic!! Seeing the Parthenon and learning about the other monuments was absolutely fascinating. One of the best parts of the tour was working with Kostas. He was so knowledgeable, passionate, and enthusiastic. It is very clear how much he loves Athens and all of its rich history which made his ability to share his wealth of information that much more interesting and exciting. He was also very personable and friendly. He has a great sense of humor and was happy to snap a photo. We did the acropolis tour with a big group but were lucky enough to end the day with the hidden gems walking tour with just my husband, Kostas, and I. This was an amazing opportunity to see more of old Athens and Plaka and get to truly see some hidden gems we never would’ve found without this tour. Cannot recommend Kostas enough. He truly made the experience for us! Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens.

Artemis was an amazing guide! She provided so much background each step up the way. We really enjoyed the Greek stories along with the heritage of the villages. The hidden gems after the Acropolis was even more special as there was just a small group and we got to see more of the community and how the town around the Acropolis became the old town. You get a headset to listen as you walk around so you're still able to hear while taking pictures at your own pace. She found as much shade for us as possible but I would suggest bringing an umbrella and water. Don't go to Greece without taking a tour, you'll miss out on so much information that isn't in books.
