This unique walking tour covers, in just 3 hours, many of the most important landmarks of ancient Athens, including some underrated but important ones, while exploring its great and long history (3.500+ years)! Ancient Athens was itself the main actor in...an ancient Greek tragedy! Athenians wanted to stop being the playthings of Gods and create their own future. However, they went more than they should. Their pride turned into arrogance and led them into decay. In this tour we will understand why they reached the heavens and then dived into hell.

Their answers can prove useful to re-direct our lives in the world. Also, the story of the Rise and Fall of Athens offers useful insights on the potential flaws of Democracy and the proclivity of people/citizens to make the wrong choicces.
