Afgehaald op de afgesproken tijd en lokatie, gidsen wisten veel te vertellen over acropolis en museum. Overdadig lunch en meer dan genoeg vrij tijd. S’middags lange rit (2 uur) naar kaap sounion mooie tempel en prachtige vergezichten . Leuke excursie maar met 125. - flink aan de prijs.

Visite très intéressante mais surprise lors du musée à Athènes (après Acropole). Coivd-pass requis et contrôle (portique et scan des sacs comme à l'aéroport) or rien mentionné sur site TUI et sur app TUI. De plus, le représentant local n'a pas mentionné non plus ce contrôle du Coivd-pass.

Hydra Island boat trip including free time in the town

Take in one of the most appealing islands in the Saronic Gulf with this boat cruise. Sail across the Aegean Sea and come ashore to explore Hydra – an ancient port of call where cars and motorbikes are banned. Irini, one of our local guides, says, ‘Donkeys are the most common transport on Hydra, and you'll see them lined up like taxis, waiting to carry your heavy cases or shopping bags for you. For the island's population, they are an essential part of the infrastructure, and they definitely add charm to the port town.' After pick-up from your hotel, we'll travel to the port of Ermoni. Once aboard the boat, you can sit back and soak up some sunshine as we sail across the Saronic Gulf to Hydra. There's so much history in this part of the Aegean, as it was an important ancient trade route. Irini says, ‘Hydra's prosperity grew in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it became a major hub for shipping and trade in the Eastern Mediterranean. The island's skilled sailors and shipbuilders established Hydra as a dominant force in the maritime industry.'When you arrive at the car and motorbike-free island of Hydra, you'll have free time to explore. You can linger in the harbour to spot colourful fishing boats bobbing on the sea, stroll past sugar cube houses on the hillside, or venture into the town's maze of cobbled alleys for a coffee or some shopping.

Privat rundtur i Athen med besøk i Akropolis og Plaka – halv dag

De gamle grekerne etterlot seg en skattkiste av monumenter, statuer og gjenstander i Athen. Og på denne turen får du oppleve alle høydepunktene med en privat guide. Dere besøker blant annet den romerske agoraen, Hadrians bibliotek, Plaka-området og den UNESCO-listede Akropolis. Vassiliki, en av våre dyktige lokalguider, sier: "Akropolis betyr "høy by", og det refererer vanligvis til enhver bosetning bygget på toppen av en ås. Du vil finne mange byer i Hellas som har en akropolis, men Akropolis i Athen er absolutt den mest kjente."Du starter med en guidet tur på Akropolis – med gå-forbi-køen-billetter er det ingen ventetid. Nyt wow-faktor-utsikten over Athen ved Areopagos – en steinete høyde der legenden sier at de greske gudene ville holde hoffet. La guiden bringe historien til live mens du beundrer gamle landemerker som den romerske agoraen, Dionysos-teatret og de fortsatt stående søylene i Asklepieion og Parthenon.Deretter går turen videre til byens Instagram-verdige gamle bydel, Plaka – hovedstadens mest tiltalende og historiske bydel. Gågatene er alltid fulle av en blanding av lokalbefolkningen og besøkende, og er fulle av tavernaer med bordene ute i gatene. Vassiliki sier: "Athenerne kaller dette området «gudenes nabolag», ettersom det har vært bebodd siden antikkens Hellas. Faktisk viser utgravninger at gateplanet knapt har endret seg siden antikken."
