The history of Athens starts from the 5th century B.C.
Monuments of the classical era, Byzantine churches and neoclassic buildings of the modern times form a beautiful setting that showcases the ceaselessness of the Greek culture throughout the centuries.
We are organizing a sightseeing tour where you will have the opportunity to admire all the important sights of the city and visit them.
You will visit the Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro), where the Olympic Games took place in ancient times.
