    Brakowalo troche czasu wolnego, przydalaby sie 1 h dodatkowo, aby moznabylo na spokojnie zjesc, cos jeszcze zobaczyc i kupic pamiatki. Wydaje sie nam tez ze nie dotarlismy do jednej z atrakcji - Anafiotika, która byla omawiana przez rezydentke jako jedna z atrakcji która zwiedzimy. Ogólnie wycieczka fajna do polecenia.

    Przez rezydentke nie dotarlismy do Aten. Wyjazd z hotelu mial byc o 7:05, cala grupa 21 osób czekala przed hotelem. Podjechal autobus do którego wsiedlismy. Po przejechaniu ok 20 min w innym hotelu, w którym mieli wziac Francuzi, którzy równiez mieli zwiedzac Ateny okazalo sie ze autobus do którego wsiedlismy byl niewlasciwy. Autobus nie byl oznakowany, kierowca nie mial listy pasazerów, nie bylo rezydenta. Musielismy wysiasc o 7:20 i do 10 czekalismy na nowy autobus, którym wrócilismy do hotelu

    Wycieczka polegala glównie na przewiezieniu nas do Aten i z powrotem. Przewodniczka mimo iz sie starala to niestety na Akropolu byl taki tlum, ze glosniki przerywaly i nie wszystko bylo slychac. Z atrakcji ciekawa byla zmiana wartowników i to w zasadzie na tyle bo objazd po Atenach uwazam za zbedny podobnie jak wysadzenie nas nas w miescie i czas wolny. Podsumowujac zalujemy, ze nie wynajelismy auta i nie weszlismy na Akropol samodzielnie bo potem moglibysmy zwiedzic kilka miejsc w Atenach.

    Malo wiedzy historycznej a przeciez to miejsce az kipi od takiej wiedzy. Z opowiesci o architekturze wylacznie skupienie na kolumnach. Wiecej mozna bylo sie dowiedziec czytajac dostepne na wzgórzu tablice niz z opowiadania przewodnika. Zdecydowanie malo czasu wolnego na obejscie calego obiektu i zrobienie pamiatkowych zdjec.

Half-day private tour of Athens with Acropolis and Plaka visits

The ancient Greeks left behind a treasure trove of monuments, statues and artefacts in Athens. And on this private tour, you'll take in all the top spots with an expert guide. Exclusively for you and your party, you'll tour highlights including the Roman Agora, Hadrian's Library, the Plaka neighbourhood and the UNESCO-listed Acropolis. Vassiliki, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Acropolis means “high city” and it usually refers to any settlement built on top of a hill. You'll find many towns in Greece that have an acropolis, but the Acropolis of Athens is certainly the most famous.'You'll start with a guided tour of the Acropolis – with skip-the-line tickets, there'll be no waiting around. Soak up wow-factor views over Athens at the Areopagus – a rocky hill where legend has it the Greek gods would hold court. Let your guide bring history to life as you marvel at ancient landmarks like the Roman Agora, the Theatre of Dionysus and the still-standing columns of the Asklepieion and Parthenon. Then, it's on to the city's Instagram-worthy old quarter, Plaka – the capital's most appealing and historic neighbourhood. Always thronged with a mix of locals and visitors, the pedestrianised lanes are brimming with tavernas whose tables spill onto the streets. Vassiliki says, ‘Athenians call this area “the neighbourhood of the Gods,' as it has been inhabited since the days of ancient Greece. In fact, excavations show that the street layout has barely changed since antiquity.'
