We visit Athens as travelers, not as tourists. We get as excited as you, we love traveling, history, scenery & photography. We love what we do:) Schedule is flexible, but most importantly we can drive on small roads and you will not just see the sights through a bus window. If you’re short on time but want to see everything that Athens has to offer, take a five-hour tour. The day starts with convenient pickup from your location and then takes you to the Acropolis Hill, Zeus Temple and many more. You also have the flexibility to explore each attraction independently or add an archaeologist guide at an additional cost.

The Academy of Athens
The Academy of Athens
The building was designed as part of an architectural "trilogy" in 1859 by the Danish architect Theophil Hansen, along with the University and the National Library.
Funds had been provided by the magnate Simon Sinas specifically for the purpose, and the foundation stone was laid on 2 August 1859. Construction proceeded rapidly, after 1861 under the supervision of Ernst Ziller, but the internal tumults during the latter years of King Otto's reign, which resulted in his ousting in 1862, hampered construction until it was stopped in 1864. Works resumed in 1868, but the building was not completed until 1885, at a total cost of 2,843,319 gold drachmas, most of it provided by Sinas, and, after his death, by his wife Ifigeneia.
The Academy's main building is one of the major landmarks of Athens.

Omonia Square
Omonia Square was constructed in 1846, with its original name being "Plateia Anaktoron" (Palace Square).
The area in which the square was going to be built was intended to be used for the construction of the palace (anaktora) by architects Stamatios Kleanthis and Eduard Schaubert. Later, the square was renamed to "Othonos Square" in honor of King Otto, the first king of Greece. After Otto was dethroned, the square was renamed to "Omonoia Square" in 1862, as it was here that the leaders of the opposing political factions gave the oath of peace (omonia) to stop hostilities.
