Discover the beating heart of ancient Athens with a guided tour of the Agora, the cradle of democracy. Are you ready to take a dip into history?

Tour Details

We'll meet at the indicated time at the Thiseio metro station and, accompanied by our guide, we'll walk among the ruins that once formed the nerve centre of the city's political, social and commercial life. Imagine the cries of the merchants, the lively discussions of the philosophers and the important decisions made by the citizens: the Agora was all this and much more!

Our 2-hour tour will take you on a journey of discovery through true architectural masterpieces, such as the Temple of Hephaestus, one of the best-preserved Doric temples in the world, a masterpiece that will leave you speechless. We'll also visit the Stoa of Attalos, an imposing reconstructed portico that now houses the Agora Museum, guardian of unique artefacts that tell us about the daily life of the ancient Athenians.

Let yourself be carried away by the passionate and rigorous explanations of our guide, designed specifically for an English-speaking audience. It will be an immersive experience, a unique opportunity to fully understand the essence of democracy and philosophy directly in the place where it all began.

After 2 hours, we'll conclude our tour.
