ΑΘΗΝΑ While Full Day Athens Archaeology Tour and Entire Acropolis Experience run for 8 hours, Half Day Athens Archaeology Tour is a 5 hour journey through the Classical, Hellenistic and Roman Periods (479-267 AD). The Delian League, Second Peloponnesian War, and legacy of Roman Emperor Hadrian play leading roles. A deconstruction of temples that today are silent sentinels from another, ancient world, and visits to monumental ruins that have left a significant impact on contemporary culture, not least architecture, make up the foundations of Half Day Athens Archaeology Tour. Your post-tour mood will be euphoric, as you will have experienced in 5 hours what many people with an interest in antiquity never get to experience in their lifetime. Particular attention is paid to the Theatre of Dionysus (birthplace of the dramatic arts), and the smaller odeons of Agrippa and Herodes Atticus, the latter a Roman theatre reconstructed in the 1950s using Pentelic marble. The Theatre of Dionysus lay undisturbed from the Byzantine Period until 1765. If you need to schedule everything archaeological in one day or two, keep this conveniently compact private Athens tour in mind.
