Prehliadky National Archaeological Museum of Athens

great start to finish 9am on time and reached Athens station 11pm~. Shoutout to Yanis our driver, safe driver and Vassou our tour guide, she was friendly and knowledgeable!! saw 3 monasteries inside and they even brought us to view the 4th one although from outside as that closes early but it’s fine .. it’s the first monastery built and the most gorgeous one! worth the steps to visit all 3 monasteries. lunch was great too. only downside was the dinner which was very expensive , guess typical tourist trap euro20 for 2 souvlaki skewers w fries, salad and a water bottle. there’s other food options which I overheard other passengers complaining about the prices they had to pay as well. but other than that, beautiful trip! enough toilet breaks w toilets in the monasteries we visited

Sprievodca bol veľmi komplexný a prehliadka prebehla hladko od miesta vyzdvihnutia! Dostali sme dobré informácie o Akropole a artefaktoch v múzeu.

Táto prehliadka mysu Sounion je nevyhnutnosťou pri návšteve Atén! Jazda po pobreží je úchvatná (vďaka vodičovi Panosovi) a chrám Poseidóna pri západe slnka je čistá mágia. Naša sprievodkyňa, Maria, bola fenomenálna. Bola priateľská, nadšená, veľmi organizovaná a úžasná rozprávačka, ktorá oživila mýty a históriu. Zabezpečila, aby sme mali dostatok času na vychutnanie si pláže a výhľadov bez pocitu, že sa ponáhľame. Bola to bezchybná prehliadka a túto prehliadku vrelo odporúčam každému!

Naša sprievodkyňa Angela bola skvelá, všetko vysvetlila veľmi podrobne a bola s ňou veľká zábava!

Irene K and our driver George were an absolute pleasure! George is an excellent photographer with a wonderful sense of humour and Irene K was truly fantastic. she is extremely knowledgeable, flexible and adaptable to peoples interests and shared so much history and context that was truly valuable. Having such a qualified and experienced archaeologist as a guide to such ancient and important spaces was a real blessing! as for the trip itself, it was perfectly paced really such a special experience! I am so glad that I joined this tour and highly recommend it. The only negative thing I can think of was that the food at the restaurant for lunch on the first day was just okay and a little overpriced. Perhaps to tour company might consider some other locations to stop for lunch. Even just a smaller local spot considering the group itself was only small.

Výhľady na Meteoru ďaleko prekonali moje očakávania. Scenéria je absolútne úžasná a kláštory posadené na vrcholoch týčiacich sa skalných útvarov robia z tohto miesta skutočne nezabudnuteľnú destináciu. Určite to stojí za návštevu. Jedinou nevýhodou je, že keďže je Meteora dosť odľahlá, čas vyhradený pre každý kláštor je pomerne krátky. Bol by som rád strávil viac času objavovaním a oceňovaním každého z nich.

we really enjoyed our tour! our tour guide was great (unfortunately I’ve forgotten her name). she was patient and attentive to all group members. The pace of the tour was good and she was very knowledgeable about the history of the site and Athens in general. My shy son even felt comfortable asking her questions.

I participated in a 2-day, 1-night tour. For the hotel in Kalambaka, I chose the 4-star option, but I ended up being the only person placed in a large hotel on the outskirts of town. It took about a 20-minute walk to get to the town center. Given this, I would have rather stayed at a 3-star hotel in the center of town. I was satisfied with the tour content, though. The tour to see the sunset in Meteora was amazing. The next day, due to a misunderstanding on my part, I ended up booking a hiking tour. While this turned out to be nice in its own way, I wish I had chosen the option to visit more monasteries instead. Since it is far from Athens, I am glad I didn't do a day trip. If I am being picky, the pickup time on the second day could have been a little earlier.

Prehliadka Atén autobusom a prechádzka po Akropole bolo to najlepšie rozhodnutie, aké som urobila. Haha~ Náš sprievodca Dimitris sa s nami podelil o množstvo historických faktov a bolo to zábavné. Vodič Yanis plynulo prešiel centrom mesta a vysadil nás pri Akropole. Atrakcia môže byť veľmi preplnená a trochu strmá, ale sprievodca nás dobre viedol a zabezpečil, aby nikto nezostal pozadu. Určite si túto prehliadku zarezervujte – oživí staroveké ruiny spôsobom, ktorý žiadny text nedokáže napodobniť!
