Description

Discover the city of the gods on a guided mythological walking tour of Athens. Learn about the myths of creation and admire wonders of the ancient world like the Tower of the Winds and the Acropolis.
The ancient Hellenes believed in the 12 Olympian gods, who governed their world and governed the laws of nature. Adored and feared at the same time, from his throne on top of Mount Olympus, Zeus watched the humans who dedicated themselves to building temples in his name. On the other hand, his older brothers, Poseidon and Hades, supervised the sea and the underworld respectively.
It would be unthinkable to try to understand life during Ancient Greece, its society or the development of its history, without first talking about mythology. Without going any further, the very name of "Athens" we owe to the goddess of wisdom, Athena.
