Temple of Olympian Zeus, Athens, Greece The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Olympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple at the center of the Greece capital Athens. 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. 15 minutes

After much searching for a value vs quality tour with good reviews, we decided for this option. It was great, our driver was excellent, was on time, sharp and very nice. The van was new and in great condition.
We were wondering if an additional guide was needed, but really there is no need to unless you really want to pay for one. The driver has a lot of knowledge and manages time and requests very well.

Dionysis met us at the cruise ship terminal with a very nice MB van, then drove us around Athens for a full day tour of the highlights and dropped us at our hotel at the end. He arranged for a wonderful guide, Maria, and was quite willing to adjust our stops according to our interests. We lingered longer in some places, and changed our museum stop in order to see the National Archeological Museum. It was a busy Sunday, but he knew how to get us close to the areas that might get crowded, and we visited the hottest areas early in the day. We had a wonderful overview of the city and looked forward to joining him again the next day for a half day tour outside of the city. We have used private cars and guides to tour in other cities, and working with Dionysis to plan our time in Athens was one of the best experiences I have encountered. I highly recommend Tours of Athens.
