On the slopes of Filoppapos Hill we follow the path to a Warren of caves room into bedrock. The archaeological excavations just indirectly connect this site with the person of Socrates. Some said to have been the place Socrates was imprisoned in before his trial.

This house is one of the nicest neoclassical building in Plaka.

From the Polygnotou Street we continue to the Roman Agory of Athens. after saying a few infos about the archaeological site and the monuments near the Agora as we pass around it, we continue to the neighbourhood of Traditional Plaka to see the houses and other famous sports at Lysiou Street. After 5 minutes we meet the Choragic Monument  of Lysicrates, a wealthy patron of musical performances in the Theater of Dionysus, to commemorate the prize in the contest of the City Dionysis.

We end our tour by continuing straight at the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Then you can walk by your own to the National Garden of Athens and discover more about the Zappeion Mansion or the natural heritage of the Garden.

The tour with Parthenon Scooters was AMAZING! We had taken an Acropolis and Parthenon tour earlier in the week, so we had some background about those places. But, hearing about them from Michael Angelo was different. His knowledge of Greek history, culture, and mythology was fantastic. He even included modern folklore to make the sites relevant to today's way of life, sharing the importance of preserving these ancient treasures. There were some places that I wanted to visit like the Ancient Agora, Areopagus Hill, and Kerameikos. Michael Angelo made sure that we did, and also gave us time to truly appreciate the beauty of the sites. He was GREAT! Touring with Parthenons Scooters is a MUST.

We had a fab time on these scooters. Our guides were very knowledgeable, experienced and friendly. It was extremely hot on the day but we took regular breaks and water was provided. The tour was 2 hours, and the time flew by. It's a fun way to see Athens and I would highly recommend it.

You MUST experience Athens on a scooter with Michelangelo! As our guide, he was amazing and it truly was an absolutely delightful and memorable adventure. Michelangelo's friendly demeanor and warm hospitality made us feel like a part of his own family from the very beginning. The tour itself was perfect in every aspect. Riding the scooter through the vibrant streets of Athens was not only convenient but also incredibly fun. We got to explore the city's most iconic landmarks and hidden gems, all while enjoying the freedom and exhilaration that comes with riding a scooter. Michelangelo's knowledge of Athens was impressive. He shared fascinating historical and cultural anecdotes, providing valuable insights that enhanced our understanding of the city. His passion for Athens was contagious, and his storytelling skills kept us engaged and entertained throughout the entire tour. Overall, I can't recommend Athens scooter experience with Michelangelo enough. From the moment we met him, he made us feel like old friends. The tour was not only informative but also incredibly enjoyable. Riding through Athens on a scooter, with the wind in our hair and Michelangelo's infectious enthusiasm, was an experience I would happily repeat. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable way to explore Athens, don't miss the opportunity to join Michelangelo on his scooter tour.
