    The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Olympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple at the center of the Greece capital Athens. It was dedicated to "Olympian" Zeus, a name originating from his position as head of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC during the rule of the Athenian tyrants, who envisaged building the greatest temple in the ancient world, but it was not completed until the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, some 638 years after the project had begun. During the Roman period the temple -that included 104 colossal columns- was renowned as the largest temple in Greece and housed one of the largest cult statues in the ancient world.

Great Experience!

Published on Sep, 2024

We had a wonderful afternoon with Athens Limo Tours visiting various sites around Athens. The driver arrived on time at our hotel, and was very friendly with excellent English speaking skills. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, giving us so many interesting facts about the city and sites. She was also very personable and knew exactly where to take the best pictures at the Acropolis during 'golden hour'! Highly recommend this company. It was a bit more expensive than we wanted to spend, but worth the money.

Athens 1/2 day tour

Published on Jul, 2024

I 1000% recommend this tour. They were so accommodating and made this tour easy for us. Our time was limited on our way to Italy, so we decided to stop for a day in Athens. Nico, our tour guide, was incredible! We were only in Athens for 24 hours, but with this tour, we feel like we saw everything (Acropolis, Olympic Stadium, changing of the guards, as well as incredible views of Athens!!) This was the best decision we made. They even coordinated a ride to the airport for us so we could maximize our time. I would book this tour again!
