ACTOUR is a walking tour which unlike other tours combines narration with music and interaction in order to create an uplifting experience ensuring that every visitor lives the site’s history in a most fulfilling and enjoyable way. The aim of ACTOUR is to highlight and animate the ideas and values of Ancient Athens. During the ACTOUR you will:

1) visit some of the most important historical monum

ents of the world,
2) listen to historical information by a licensed tour guide,
2) learn about ideas and values of Ancient Athens,
3) enjoy a tour with theatricality,
also:
4) learn about the fauna and flora of the area,
5) listen to a short presentation about the little owl (Athene noctua) because

we support the protection of the little owl (Athene noctua). ACTOUR is ideal for people who want to have alternative touring experiences. At the moment, the theme of the current ACTOUR is "ACTOUR at the Hill of the Muses".

Fresco of "Sappho" from Pompeii, c. 50 CE.
Sappho (b. circa 630 - 612 BCE) was a Greek lyric poet. Little is known about her life and most of her poetry has been lost, but she had an immense reputation during her time. She appears on the Alexandrian list of nine lyric poets.
"Some say the Muses are nine: how careless!
Look, there's Sappho too, from Le**os, the tenth."
(Ascribed to Plato)

Socrates in Plato's "Phaedo" says "...so the dream was encouraging me to do what I was doing, that is, to make music, because philosophy was the greatest kind of music and I was working at that". (Phaedo, Sections 60d-61b, translated by Harold North Fowler, 1966)
