Overview

The Ancient Agora formed the center of commercial life in Ancient Athens. As the main marketplace it was where people gathered, as well as the site where western democracy and many areas of Philosophy were developed. Indeed the most famous philosophers of Greek antiquity such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle choose this place to teach their students. The Agora was the heart of ancient Athens' democracy, where citizens participated directly in government and principles like meritocracy and equality before the law were established during the 5th century BCE.

Close above sits the Acropolis, the pinnacle of classical Greece with its Parthenon and Erechtheion and other Temples forming the most sacred center of worship.

Our Professional Licensed, Archaeological guide will meet you at your Hotel or other Athens Address (if in easy walk of the Acropolis) and lead you through both sites bringing 5000 years of history to life with you in a Private Exclusive tour for your group only.
