Why this tour? To be honest with you, you have to see Athens and the main sites. The history and amazing to consider “technology & science” at the time of construction of these monuments is beyond any logic! In any other respects, we are not in favor of spending any time in the big city of Athens! Why with us? Only because we love what we do and care? And because you’ll visit the sites in a different more authentic way. Still, there are hundreds of guides to show you around Athens!!
