The Birthplace of Democracy: A Visit to the Ancient Agora of Athens
The Ancient Agora of Athens was the commercial, social and political center of Athens during the Archaic and Classical periods. It was in this square that the Athenians gathered to vote, debate and discuss the important issues of the day. The Agora was also the site of many famous speeches, including those by Socrates, Pericles and Demosthenes. The square was lined with shops and stalls, and was a bustling center of activity. The Agora was the heart of ancient Athens, and is a must-see for anyone visiting the city.

Amazing experience!
With only one day in Athens, my family knew we wanted to make the most of it. Markella was a phenomenal guide. Extremely knowledgeable, personable, and able to tailor the tour to exactly what my family wanted to see. Would recommend to anyone looking to see Athens!

Terrific Guide- fun morning
We loved our time with Evanthia. She was excellent at communicating with us before to arrange the meeting place. We asked to start 30 min later which she accommodated with no problem or complaint. We loved seeing all the interesting hidden gems of the city center, including the Public Garden and the meat and fish markets. We were grateful to stop for a coffee and rest for a few minutes. She gave good advice on places to go for meals etc. All in all, terrific experience.
