Itinerary
The center of the ancient city of Athens and center of the ancient religion and ancient daily life and civilization generally
The grandest in size and legacy temple oif the ancient greek religion
A small but unique temple of the ancient greek goddess of victories in battlefields. Situated at the edge of the Acropolis so that the guard of the temples on the famous rock of the city could be housed there also. The statue of the goddess Nike was wingless despite the myths about her that presented her with wings. This depiction was made that way so that this important goddess would never leave the Athenians
The famous stadium that the ancient panathenaic games were taking place celebrating the greatest athenian king and hero Theseus. This marvelous stadium also hosted the rebirth of the Olympic games in the modern era in the year 1896
The famous pesidential guard of the Hellenic Democracy always wearing the suites of the greek war of indepedence guards sametime the president of the republic and the monumental tomb of the unknown soldier, honoring all the hero soldiers that died for Greece
Highest point of the city of Athens. On its hillfoots are the remnants of the famous school of the great ancient philosopher Aristotle. On the top the hill stands a very beautiful orthodox church dedicated to saint George
As all ancient cities of Greece Athens has also a rock that was housing then the most significant temples and treasures of the city for protections. A such rocky fort was called Acropolis. The most excellent and most beautiful Acropolis is that of the city of Athens which was and still is the greatest city of Greece

Konstantinos was the best tour guide we have had. Very friendly knowledgeable, and professional. We loved the tour he provided and highly recommend his service.
Nick was respectfully , friendly .
Today was a wonderful tour around Athens from Piraeus to Mount Lycabettus, to the Acropolis, and even witnessed the changing of the Presidential guards. Kostas was our most excellent private guide in his luxury Mercedes Van. He picked us up at the Piraeus harbor port as we disembarked our cruise ship and we traveled around Piraeus, pausing at the Temple of Olympian Zeus. We then traveled to the highest point in Athens at the Orthodox Church on Mount Lycabettus. What spectacular views all around Athens! We then went to the Acropolis and ventured up to the Parthenon and temple of Athena Nike. So much history all around. Kostas brought us to Panathenaic stadium where ancient Olympic Games were held as well as a venue for the 2004 Olympics. We then witnessed the changing of the presidential guards and caught a glimpse of the president of Greece departing the presidential mansion. Kostas provided commentary and history as we drove all over Athens. His experience and expert driving through the tight streets was amazing. Whenever you need a driver and tour guide in Athens, Kostas is your guy!
Great idea for a short visit to Athens Our driver Kostas was a great guy and took us to the most important spots
We got to see lots of beautiful places all over Athens. Guide was very helpful and at the end brought us right to our apartment. I recommend this tour.
Kontantinos was a great guide! We traveled in style and comfort in a nice Mercedes van. Very friendly and knowledgeable of the facts on the tour. We went to tourist spots and some other spots not on the tour to see some authentic parts of Greece. Not only did we learn about the travels of Paul, but a lot about the vegetation of Greece. I had no idea about so many things that grew here (pistachios, almonds, pomegranates, lemons, etc.) We stopped for lunch at a nice restaurant with lovely views. Nothing was rushed and he allowed us to take our time with everything. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend his services. As a believer in Christ, there is a lot of Greek mythology that doesn't align with God's word, but you block it out and discern what is true. I leave you with these verses... 1 Corinthians 2:12-16 ESV [12] Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. [13] And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. [14] The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. [15] The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. [16] “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
Konstantine was an incredible host! Friendly, knowledgeable ambassador of this beautiful city. Best way to see the history, sites and city!

We had a great day exploring Athens thanks too our very informative driver. He knew exactly were to take us And his knowledge was amazing Thanks for giving us a insight to Athens We recommend this company 10 / 10
We had an amazing time seeing Athens with Nick ! He is Very knowledgeable about the history of Athens and its sights. This is the perfect way to see everything especially if you don’t have the whole week . The car was brand new , super comfortable with AC. He gave us great recommendations for dinner, shopping and future travels . The restaurant he took us was amazing! We got to try all the local specialties and drinks . Highly recommend!!
Constantine was everything you want in a guide. He was prompt, flexible, and knowledgeable. He provided much needed context but also gave us freedom to explore on our own. He managed the itinerary according to our needs and weather. We would absolutely recommend.
Our day was fantastic! We had a very good tour of the city and we were well taken care of by Constantine. We saw many sites and finished with a great meal. We would definitely recommend it!
Konstantinos was a great guide. Energetic and very knowledgeable. Wonderful tour seeing all the top sites in Athens!!
What a great way to finish our vacation! Our day started with a pickup from our driver and guide, George, from the cruise port. He then spent the entire day showing us numerous archaeological and historical sites around the city. It was a great mix of both ancient and recent history throughout the city and he spent so much time explaining the cultural significance of each place we stopped or visited. He also gave us plenty of free time to meander around locations such as Zeus’ Temple or the Parthenon, so we didn’t feel rushed at any time during the day. We also were allowed to stop at any time during the day for food or restroom breaks if they were needed. This was easily the best tour we experienced during our trip. George was an absolutely wonderful guide and showed us things in Athens that we likely wouldn’t have seen had we been on a group tour of the sites. And because this tour was private, we had an air conditioned van all to ourselves throughout the day - so much better than jamming into a bus with 40 other strangers. The one real plus for this tour was the communication. Both the company and driver were constantly in touch with us via both phone and WhatsApp both prior to and during the pickup, so we knew who to look for, where to go, what tickets to buy ahead of time, etc. This is something that definitely set them apart from the other four guides we had hired at other locations on our trip and makes it so easy for foreigners who are visiting a new city for the first time. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Our many thanks for a great day!
My husband and I lucked up and got Konstantinos as our private tour guide. He made our last day of our 15 day Mediterranean trip the most special day ever. He took a s to an authentic Greek restaurant that was delicious and so much food. He truly tailored our tour for us. When he pulled up the doorman told us we were in for a special day. We had no idea how special it would be.Best way to end our trip!!!
Amazing.. I am very satisfied.. I would recommend everyone to book this tour from him.. he has great knowledge about history and culture of Athens and he is very friendly also
Our experience with the Great Greece Company and Konstantinos Kourgialis was amazing. We saw the interesting museums and archaeological sites of Athens, we had a great time and we want to do another trip again. The cars are all luxury and the prices are affordable
