What to expect
The ancient Greeks were the first in the world to invent and establish democracy as a form of government, with the Athenian democracy being the most celebrated of all. However, the Greek word demokratia is not without ambiguity. It means 'people-power'. But who were the people? And what power did they hold? What purposes did this 'democracy' serve?Understand how ancient Athenian democracy became one of the most influential regimes in the world in this historical tour of Athens. Visit the Acropolis, one of the wonders of the ancient world and a monument to ancient Athenians' political propaganda, followed by a visit to the Ancient Agora, the heart of ancient Athens, its political, commercial and administrative center.You will learn all about the historical personalities and facts that led to the birth of democracy in Athens, its key, the purposes it served, as well as why it was considered a radical political system at the time. During your tour, your guide will also shed light on the similarities and differences between ancient Greek democracy and contemporary democracy.What are the structural elements of the democratic regime that still serve our society successfully to the present day and what elements of it often end up failing? What can we learn from the past to improve the future? In the end, you will see democracy in a new light, as the greatest political experiment of all time: one that started more than 2,600 years ago and keeps evolving today.
