Det här kan du se fram emot
The ancient Greeks were the first in the world to invent and establish democracy as a form of government, with the Athenian democracy being the most celebrated of all. However, the Greek word demokratia is not without ambiguity. It means 'people-power'. But who were the people? And what power did they hold? What purposes did this 'democracy' serve?
Understand how ancient Athenian democracy became one of the most influential regimes in the world in this historical tour of Athens. Visit the Acropolis, one of the wonders of the ancient world and a monument to ancient Athenians' political propaganda, followed by a visit to the Ancient Agora, the heart of ancient Athens, its political, commercial and administrative center.
You will learn all about the historical personalities and facts that led to the birth of democracy in Athens, its key, the purposes it served, as well as why it was considered a radical political system at the time. During your tour, your guide will also shed light on the similarities and differences between ancient Greek democracy and contemporary democracy.
What are the structural elements of the democratic regime that still serve our society successfully to the present day and what elements of it often end up failing? What can we learn from the past to improve the future? In the end, you will see democracy in a new light, as the greatest political experiment of all time: one that started more than 2,600 years ago and keeps evolving today.

Privat rundtur i Aten med Akropolis och Plaka
De gamla grekerna lämnade efter sig en skattkista av monument, statyer och artefakter i Aten. På den här privata rundturen får du se alla de bästa platserna tillsammans med en kunnig guide. Exklusivt för dig och ditt sällskap får ni se höjdpunkter som romerska Agora, Hadrianus bibliotek, stadsdelen Plaka och UNESCO-listade Akropolis. Vassiliki, en av våra lokala guider, säger: "Akropolis betyder "hög stad" och syftar vanligtvis på en bosättning som är byggd på toppen av en kulle. Det finns många städer i Grekland som har en akropolis, men Atens akropolis är utan tvekan den mest berömda.Du börjar med en guidad rundtur på Akropolis - med gå-förbi-kön-biljetter behöver du inte vänta. Njut av den fantastiska utsikten över Aten från Areopagen - en klippig kulle där de grekiska gudarna enligt legenden skulle ha hållit hov. Låt din guide väcka historien till liv medan du beundrar antika landmärken som den romerska Agora, Dionysos teater och de fortfarande stående pelarna i Asklepieion och Parthenon. Sedan fortsätter vi till stadens Instagram-värdiga gamla kvarter, Plaka - huvudstadens mest tilltalande och historiska stadsdel. Gågatorna är alltid fulla av en blandning av lokalbefolkning och besökare, och de är fulla av tavernor vars bord står utställda på gatorna. Vassiliki säger: "Athenarna kallar det här området för "gudarnas kvarter", eftersom det har varit bebott sedan det antika Grekland. Faktum är att utgrävningar visar att gatunätet knappt har förändrats sedan antiken.
