About this activity

With no less than 18 years of experience and a long-standing cooperation with some of the biggest hotels in Athens (Hotel Grande Bretagne, Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel, Hilton Athens Hotel et al.)

We are dedicated to provide high-standard services to you, our customers.

Our country is brighter than light itself.

It is synonymous with the warmth of the sun, the crystal clear skies, the huge views all around, the endless blue of the sea.

It is crammed full of extremely welcoming people; and it is celebrated for a host of artists, athletes, writers and musicians.

It is famous for being the birthplace of philosophy, democracy and all three genres of ancient drama.

So many attributes and yet only one name: Greece!

Feeling proud of being born and bred in such a beautiful place, we cannot but try to share with visitors our love, awe and respect for our homeland and make shine in their hearts a bit of Greece’s wonderfully bright light.

    Η Αρχαία Αγορά της Αθήνας είναι ο ανοικτός χώρος που βρίσκεται εγγύτατα και βορειοδυτικά της Ακρόπολης. Στην αρχαιότητα αποτελούσε διοικητικό, φιλοσοφικό, εκπαιδευτικό, κοινωνικό, πολιτιστικό και κυρίως το οικονομικό κέντρο της πόλης. Την Αρχαία Αγορά διέσχιζε η Οδός των Παναθηναίων από την οποία διερχόταν η μεγάλη πομπή προς την Ακρόπολη κατά την διάρκεια των εορτασμών των Παναθηναίων που θέσπισε ο Πεισίστρατος και τελούνταν το τρίτο έτος κάθε Ολυμπιάδας.

  8. Monastiraki

    Athens, Greece

    30 minutes

    Το Μοναστηράκι είναι κεντρική συνοικία της Αθήνας γύρω από την Πλατεία Μοναστηρακίου, η οποία εκτείνεται στη νότια πλευρά της οδού Ερμού, από το ύψος της Πλατείας Μητροπόλεως έως την Πλατεία Θησείου. Γειτνιάζει με τις συνοικίες του Ψυρρή, της Πλάκας και του Θησείου. Η ονομασία της προέρχεται από την παλιά εκκλησία της Κοιμήσεως της Θεοτόκου Αθήνας, που βρίσκεται χτισμένη επί της πλατείας, και παλαιότερα ήταν μετόχι μοναστηριού και συγκεκριμένα, της Μονής Καρέα στον Υμηττό. Στην Πλατεία Μοναστηρακίου δεσπόζει επίσης το παλιό Τζαμί Τζισταράκη που έχει κατασκευαστεί το 1759 και το οποίο σήμερα στεγάζει παράρτημα του Μουσείου Λαϊκής Τέχνης. Η περιοχή του Μοναστηρακίου εθεωρείτο διαχρονικά μέρος της συνοικίας του Ψυρρή, η οποία έφτανε μέχρι το Θησείο και τα όρια της Πλάκας. Άρχισε να υφίσταται ως ξεχωριστή συνοικία μετά τη διάνοιξη της οδού Ερμού το 1835.
