The origins of Athens can be traced back to a magical time when gods came down to the earth from their royal palace on mount Olympus in order to get married to mortals and competed among them over who would give the city the best gift and win the dominion.
Mysteries and intricate questions are delved into: how many Pythias were there ? why did athletes compete naked ? was Socrates really bullied by his wife ?
The thread of the history of Athens is unwound and touches the controversial character of the modern Greeks ,who take pride on breaking the smoking ban
That and many more ,can satisfy the curiosity of the most demanding visitors.
I am more than happy to share my knowledge of the Greek history and culture with our international friends!
Elena was very interactive and was very knowledgeable. She answered any questions we had. I highly recommend this tour. We even stopped for a treat. My group really enjoyed it.
En general Elena es una profesional y simpática mijer, lo único que se centró más en la parte histórica de la ciudad y dió poca información de cómo viven los lugareños, anécdotas y dar una vuelta más por los barrios céntricos.
Very good experience with this tour in Spanish around Athens. Elena gave us a good mix between history and current information about Athens. Our 2 daughters enjoyed it a lot.
Elena is a funny character full of knowledge and funny stories (amongst the Greek tragedies). We had fun walking around the city together!
