Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: The Monastery of Daphni, Athinon avenue, Athens Greece

The Daphni Monastery was founded towards the end of the sixth century A.D. on the site of the Sanctuary of Apollo which had been desecrated by the Goths in 395. The Sanctuary of Apollo was built in the Ionic style using the thinnest and smallest columns. The columns stand on a base with an ornamental scroll at the top. A few of the columns of the temple have been preserved. One of the four Ionic columns of the ancient Sanctuary of Apollo remains at the site, as it was re-used in the Daphni Monastery. The other columns were removed and taken to London by Thomas Bruce, Earl of Elgin (of Elgin Marbles fame). The columns, column bass, and column tops from the Sanctuary of Apollo are currently in the possession of the British Museum.

We booked a half day tour of Athens and were lucky enough to get Mike as our guide. Mike was so nice and knowledgeable, patient with our questions and we saw the sites of Athens with great perspective. The car was spotless and comfortable. He was on time and, when my friend lost her located her without incident. Would recommend him to anyone wanting to know about this city. Thank you Mike.

Our tour of Athens with Demos was first rate! His knowledge of Athens and Greek history made the sights come. alive for us . We could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, pleasant guide and hope he is appropriately recognized by La Vacanza Travel

Our driver, Sebastian was professional & amazed us with his historical stories & his sense of history. Overall, my wife & I found our experience to be one of quality, performance & value. Don’t miss Sebastian’s advanced knowledge of all things Greece.

The tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. The only thing I would say is you need to be aware that the guide doesn’t accompany you in any of the sites. He lets you off and you go on your own. I did read beforehand that this was the case but I figured that they weren’t allowed to accompany people into some of the actual sites but it turns out there were a lot of tour guides I saw in the sites taking people around and explaining things as they were looking at them. So it’s just an issue that this tour has and not all tour companies.
