Ancient Agora of Athens (Greece)
Agora in Greek stands for the marketplace or a meeting place. The Agora in ancient Greek city-states was the central public space that was the soul of the city-state. The general populace mingled and interacted in the Agora while the statesmen met for policy making. Vendors put up stalls and artists performed for the crowd. The Agora in Athens was the heart of the city, and the square had all the government buildings. The residence of state officials, and athletic and sports competitions along with philosophers spreading their wisdom all found their place at the Agora. From social activity to religious activities, recreation and upholding of justice, the Agora remained the venue for everything of note that took place in the city.
The ancient Agora of Athens is a prime example of the Greek agora and was an incredibly important place with regards to life in ancient Athens. The Agora in ancient Greece, especially the one in the city of Athens, was the center of everything; from market to elections to policy making to upholding justice. The agora was surrounded by monuments and buildings necessary to run the Athenian government. For 5000 years, the agora had always been occupied be it by commercial buildings, residential buildings, monuments or public and government buildings.
The Agora of Athens Greece went through several cycles of construction, destruction and rebuilding and remodeling. The agora hosted merchants, craftsmen, philosophers debating and propagating wisdom, policy makers and artists. After being destroyed in the Slavic invasion of 580 A.D., the place was abandoned before being redeveloped as a residential area during the Byzantine Empire up until 1834. The historical significance of the Agora is immense and is a must visit place for the ancient history enthusiasts.

Trip to Athens
I’ll start by summing it up: Everything of our trip to Greece was exceptional and beyond our expectations. Memorable Vacations (my travel agent) and Travel Triangle have made it extra memorable and special for us. Nisar and Krishna Sir from Memorable Vacations and Shilpa from TT, were extremely courteous and have taken extra care of all our requests and customisations. Nisar customised everything according to our wishes. He has taken care of everything from hotels to transfers to internal tours, etc. all while keeping our budget in mind. The hotels at all the places (Athens, Mykonos and Santorini) were very very good. The ones at Mykonos and Santorini were superlative in their location and view. The siteseeings and islands visits were all breathtaking with extremly eye catching views. Of course Greece is one of the most beautiful country of Europe so it tends to be little expensive. But if one can plan this trip 4-5 months in advance, then it can be booked at quite reasonable price. Food wise, Greece is a paradise for Non-Veg lovers. Greek Salad, Cakes & Bakes and Greek Yogurts are out of the world. Overall this trip was totally satisfying for us in all sense. In the entire trip we have not faced with any unpleasant experience. I’ll like to recommend Memorable Vactions (particularly NisarTrip to Athens
To an awesome Greece trip arranged by a perfect trip planner! This was my wifes and my first trip outside of India and we wanted it to be planned by an agent rather than doing everything by ourselves. I went with Travel Triangle through which I got in touch with StreetRomeo and Mr Jigar. Thats where started a journey which would make our trip effortlessly awesome! I am a very picky person and i research a lot on the web as well. I also have a lot of questions always. Jigar was always available!! Almost 24/7 - the guy doesn't sleep it seems! He was constantly in touch with me through bookings and through our daily plans. Everything was very professional right from day 1 with booking.. vouchers..day wise plan etc. Everyday Jigar would send us the details for the next day including driver details..points to visit..and others Jigar also handpicked perfect hotels as per our priorities...mine was good hospitality and location..Jigar made sure both were met! Me and my wife went on the following itenary:- 1) 2 days in Athens including hop on hop off tour 2) Athens to Meteora - 2 days including sunset and half day tour 3) 3 days in Santorini Every hotel.. every tour was amazing! We loved the locations..the hospitality of each of our hotels all suggested by Jigar 1) Athens - Hotel Athens Atrium 2) Meteora - Oikia Guesthouse 3) Santorini - Hotel Nemesis Special thanks to Jigar and Travel Triangle for making memories and making such wonderful trips and moreover being available always for anything! I totally recommend StreetRomeo and Jigar for anyone who wants to travel anywhere abroad! Cheers! - Vikram RTrip to Athens
Thank you very much Yeeshu for helping us have a great experience during our stay in Greece. The whole experience was really great right from the beginning until the end of the trip. You helped us getting the trip within our budget which included the hotel stay and sight seeing. The staff of each and every hotel we stayed were really nice and friendly. Also thanks for suggesting in changing hotel for Santorini. I would recommend all the three hotels in which we stayed to others. 1. Hotel Marina, Athens 2. Hotel Deliades, Mykonos 3. Glykeria Mini Suites, Santorini. You were always reachable at any given time and assisted in all possible ways. I totally recommend you for anyone who wants to travel anywhere abroad! Kudos to you!!!! Thanks once again for making it memorable.Trip to Athens
It was a great experience with hub holiday team, they were always there to support whenever we needed, even during our travel in Greece...they have arranged our custom made tour to suit our interest....They have arranged a very good guide in Mykonos who helped us to understand the culture of Mykonos people very well...our Hotels were very good in Santorini and Mykonos with fabulous sea views, except the Athens Marina Hotel place was not that safe, otherwise the hotel was ok...I will definitely recommend Hub Holiday..Thank you so much Amit for the great support ... The whole trip was amazing, the best memories I will always have is Santorini and Mykonos island tour..the cities were so beautiful and the hotels(Leto and Dana Hotel) that our travel agent selected was awesome ..Cruise tour and Santorini Volcano Spring tour was very good...Trip to Athens
The trip was well in budget however, in Santorini hotel was extremely far away in the middle of no where, seemed like in the country side. However staff was really good there, but there were flies in our room which was a turnoff initially however it was alright. Mykonos hotel was really good, Athens art suites has good rooms but breakfast was extremely frugal. Other wise tour was well handled, excepted for the pickups from the ferry to the room where assistance could have been provided considering the language issues one has specially for transport in greece. Petinos in Mykonos & art suites room. Greece is extremely beautiful.Trip to Athens
This holiday was planned in a very short span of time. Special thanks to Rohit and Prashant in helping us out get the best deals throughout the trip. They were always available on call and whatsapp even during the entire duration of the trip. I am sure even if I had self planned the trip it couldn’t have been better than this. Greece is a beautiful country and there are plenty things to explore. We had a mix of adventure, history and romantic destinations on our itinerary. In all it was a good trip. Athens to Mykonos cruise trip.Trip to Athens
The entire trip was very well organized. Garima helped us throughout the process - customizing our itinerary, suggesting places to visit, booking tickets as per our request, and providing assistance in the Visa process. She even helped us with our queries when we were in Greece. The hotels booked for us were simply superb. The hotel staff at Athens was not too friendly though. The sightseeing tours that were booked for us were very nice and hassle free. We faced no issues with pick up/drop, except for the pickup at Santorini but that too was because our ferry reached late, and it was handled well by the Destination Services staff. The itinerary had a perfect balance of activities and leisure time. We enjoyed the trip a lot. Kuods to Garima and Eji Travel Solutions for organizing such a nice and memorable trip for us! Thank you!!Trip to Athens
Prashanth from hubholidays was absolutely brilliant and took great care in organizing the trip across 2 countries and 6 cities within 2 weeks without any issues. Thank you so much for making our trip memorable. Will definitely highly recommend hubholidays for Europe trips especially for travelers who like to customize itinerary and want to make sure there are no hidden surprises cost wise.. Everything.. History of Athens.. To sunset of Santoroni.. To beaches of Mykonos.. To beautiful Venice.. To magnificent Florence.. To eternal city Rome.. Trip of a lifetime...Trip to Athens
Overall the trip went fine. But I must mention the following: No whatsapp number given by travel masterz due to which we faced difficulty in contacting them. All foreign agents provided us with their whatsapp number as soon as they met us. Hotel bookings made for incorrect dates which resulted in an incorrect invitation letter from greece agent and thereby we faced issue at the vfs centre. After payment confirmation from our side for the package, we had to follow up with the agent Shalini at every stage till the date of departure. I believe that a small request of rescheduling a ticket from dubai to delhi was not taken seriously. After confirming that the flight can be reschrduled, we were told at the last minute that it can be done by the customer itself. We loved the places Athens, Mykonos and definitely the heart Santorini. All foreign agents were wholly supportive and helpful and punctual all the time.Trip to Athens
It was a great trip. Visited Athens, Santorini and Mykonos. Had booked all transfers and ferries through EJI travels, and everything worked precisely. The guided tours were fantastic and were an immersive experience to feel the cultural history of Greece! Highly recommended!
