Athens Riverside: A Journey in Mythical Athens
Choose from several daily departure times to suit your schedule, and meet your guide at Monastiraki Square in central Athens. Here you can see a portion of the ancient Heridanos (Eridanos) river uncovered during construction of the city’s metro system in the 1990s. Originating from a source in Mount Lycabettos and once flowing to the Kerameikos archaeological site, this ancient waterway named after the Greek river god was hidden for many centuries and provides a window into the lives and legends of ancient Athens. In addition to the path of the Heridanos, also follow the original course of the Ilissos, another ancient river that runs mostly underground through modern Athens. The banks of the Ilissos feature prominently in ancient Greek mythology and writing, including as a favorite teaching locale for Socrates. As you followed the storied paths of these two rivers, listen as your guide retells old Athenian legends and illuminates what life was like for the city's original citizens. Throughout the tour, pass by ancient sanctuaries built in honor of Greek gods, remnants of Christian churches, mystical caves, and the ruins of Roman baths. See where classical and modern Athens overlap as you walk through diverse neighborhoods and visit the archaeological sites of the Ancient Agora and the Acropolis. Soak up panoramic views and perhaps a spectacular sunset (depending on the time of your tour) while strolling through the Athenian hillsides including Pynx and Philoppapos Hills.

アクロポリス博物館へ降りていきましょう。現代建築の傑作であるこの博物館では、ガラス張りの床から発掘現場が覗き見えます。その後、プラカ地区の迷路のような路地を散策し、職人技のジュエリーショップやブティックギャラリーが、この街が職人技への愛を今も色濃く残していることを感じさせます。彫刻、デザイン、写真いずれかに情熱を注ぐ人にとって、アテネの文化の核心は、この街で何を見、何をするべきか、あなたの感覚を形作るでしょう。
夜のアテネで楽しむおすすめスポット
夕暮れが迫ると、街は変貌を遂げ、アテネの夜をどう楽しむか考えるかもしれません。その答えは、アテネの屋上バー「A for Athens」のような場所で、照明に照らされたアクロポリスがベルベットのような空に輝きを放つ光景にあります。または、2000年以上の時を経ても音楽とドラマの響きが残るローマ時代の円形劇場「ヘロデス・アティコス・オデオン」で、屋外公演を楽しむのもおすすめです。

もう一つの隠れた名所は、アクロポリス北斜面に広がる白い壁の小さな家々が密集するアナフィオティカ地区です。19世紀に島の職人によって建設されたこの地区は、曲がりくねった路地がキクラデス諸島の村を思わせ、ヨーロッパの首都とは思えない秘密の世界です。ここでは時間がゆっくりと流れ、創造性が花開きます。
