Athens Highlights Mythology Walking Tour
An early start, and worth every minute of it. Your licensed English-speaking guide begins at the
Temple of Olympian Zeus and walks you up through the Theater of Dionysus to the Acropolis —
the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, and the Parthenon itself. Along the way you’ll hear
the myths of Zeus, Athena, Poseidon and Dionysus, and the truths tucked inside them. The morning
finishes in the Ancient Agora, where democracy was born, Socrates held court, and the Hephaisteion
still stands as the best-preserved temple in Greece.
- Time
- 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM (4 hours). Please arrive 10 minutes early.
