Summary
Delve into the mighty Ancient Greek civilisation in storied Athens, a city critical to our understanding of modern culture and where democracy, Classical art, architecture and literature flourished. We discover the key parts of Athens' historical landscape, including the iconic Acropolis, the bustling Agora and the main square, where we experience the Evzones' Changing of the Guard. While Athens itself is much like an open-air museum, there is an abundance of treasures enclosed within cultural institutions too, from the highly-rated Acropolis Museum and the National Museum of Athens to the remarkable Benaki Museum, the world's only museum that documents Greek history from the Stone Age to modernity. With each day filled with fascinating discoveries, look forward to admiring crumbling temples, colossal statues, significant artefacts, stunning paintings and religious sanctuaries on this tour to one of the ancient world's most inspiring cities.
