Summary
Critical to an understanding of our modern culture is the city of Athens, where democracy, Classical art, architecture and literature germinated and flourished. This is the home of quintessential Classical ruins, and an informed visit holds the key to an understanding of the whole Greek world. The layout of the modern city still carries echoes of both the original Greek polis and the later Roman town – it is fascinating to trace them amongst the busy buildings of modern Athens. Our comfortable base is in the heart of the city within walking distance of most of the sites. The pedestrian rules here and Greek street life with tavernas of all sorts, enlivens the scene.
This tour is designed for those who want the expert guidance from an Andante Guide Lecturer, a carefully curated itinerary and easy access to the sites but with free time to explore, revisit sites and make your own discoveries.
