Greece · ANCIENT AGORA & KERAMEIKOS
6 tours
The good ancient agora & kerameikos visits go by May and the best go first. Here are the 6 that belong in a calendar, priced and dated, so nothing is left to the morning you land.
Timed ticket for Athens Agora plus the Temple of Hephaistos and the Church of the Holy Apostles, with optional audio guide.
“Be sure to check where the entrance is. Once there it is really cool to walk through history. The Museum is worth checking out as well!”
Fast-track e-ticket to Athens Ancient Agora plus an offline smartphone audio tour. Visit the museum, Mars Hill, Pnyx, Socrates.
“If you get a guide and hear the stories you will benefit so much more than just walking around with your guide book. Do this early in the morning or as late in the afternoon as you can so you’re not slowly walking around in the heat. The museum is good- and air conditioned! I thought the best story was Samuel the Cobbler and his relationship to Socrates.”
Cook 6 Greek dishes in a Kerameikos stone house, shop for ingredients at a local market, then eat together in a garden with wine.
“We had a really fun time at the cooking class. Elena was sweet and she was good at giving everyone a task so we could all participate. And the food was all so so delicious!”
Time-slotted e-tickets plus two offline audio tours to Athens Roman and Ancient Agoras, with photo-ready landmarks and museum time.
“Awful. The places themselves were good. You don’t need to use this company. The commentary was terrible. Sounded like an AI bot. No pronunciation and no time to move. Also, the guide didn’t take account of current ongoing works (although it did highlight past works - strange!). Worst still, in the vague small print, it says that you can’t book a ticket via the company for a discount eg child, ticket. When I arrived at each Agora they informed me my 16yo child should have been free. Therefore, I only needed one ticket. When I enquired of Clio to rectify the price I paid (2 adults) they wouldn’t budge on…”
Glide through ancient Athens on an eco-friendly Segway, snapping photos at the Agora, Roman ruins, Pnyx, and Kerameikos in about 2 hours.
“A great way to see Athens. Our guide made sure we were all safe and able then we set off to see the sights. He was knowledgeable and fun and showed us sights we wouldn’t have found on our own. The Segway was good fun and saved our legs from walking!”
Segway through ancient Athens in 2 hours, passing Keramikos and the Agora, then riding up Mars Hill toward Acropolis views.
“Alexander was terrific. Really patient as my 14yo nephew and I learned the ropes. The tour on our first day in Athens was perfect for helping us get the lay of the land. We got off a few times to check out some ruins too. He even took us to a wide open area at the end of the tour where my nephew could really burn off some energy practising his new skills on the Segway. Our guide really made this a terrific afternoon.”
