It was dedicated to "Olympian" Zeus, a name originating from his position as head of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC during the rule of the Athenian tyrants, who envisaged building the greatest temple in the ancient world, but it was not completed until the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, some 638 years after the project had begun. During the Roman period the temple -that included 104 colossal columns- was renowned as the largest temple in Greece and housed one of the largest cult statues in the ancient world.

THIS IS NOT A TOUR, this is just a PRIVATE TAXI that move you around during 4 or 5 Hours. Driver was friendly but he did not know about historical facts regarding Greece. Also he did not know about a itinerary or a route. It pretty sure they just drive and other person organize them. We were totally disappointed with this "tour" because is not, and here they sell you as that. Drivers do not even know about itinerary, basic historical info, etc and it is understandable if they are just taxi drivers. But it is not what they are selling, we felt SCAMMED, RIP OFF. WE DON'T NO RECOMENNT THIS TOUR at all. Even they have a picture with a Van (probably they will remove after my review) but it was a Mercedes standard Car. DON'T TAKE THIS TOUR. With uber you will do the same for 10 or 15 euros.

My family recently went on a private Athens tour with Tours of Athens and it was an absolute dream! The driver and guide were incredible. We were picked up near the Airport and dropped off at the cruise port. The tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging, and made the experience truly unforgettable. We visited all the major landmarks, including the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the Olympic Stadium, and our guide provided fascinating insights into their significance and history. One of the highlights of the tour was the Acropolis Museum, which is an absolute must-visit for anyone interested in ancient Greek culture. Our guide's deep knowledge of the artifacts and their context made the experience truly special, and we left with a new appreciation for the richness of Greek history. Overall, I can't recommend this Athens tour enough. Whether you're a history buff or simply looking to experience one of the world's most beautiful cities, this tour is an absolute must-do!
