Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. An amazing gem of the Greek royal glory. It is a bit far away from the city center but it deserves a visit! You need about 3 hours to explore the garden, the little tower, the organic vineyard and also the horses stable. You have to book a guided in advance. Ιστορικο μερος.Καλοδιατηρημενη διακοσμηση στα δωματια του πυργου. Στους κηπους καλλιεργουνται βιολογικα προϊοντα.Παραακευαζουν ξρασι.Εχουν ιππικο ομιλο. Κλπ Οι ξεναγοι ...εκπληκτικοι!!! Συνορευει με το παρκο Τριτση,οποτε συνδιαστικα, ειναι μια ημερησια ,πολυ ωραια,δραστηριιτητα. We bought the package from tourism for a 3 hours of the estate in English along with tasting. I wanted to commend Alex for the brilliant job she did in explaining the history and the heritage of the winery and how it links to 5 generations of the Pyrgos family and the once prominent and beloved queen of Greece, Amalia. I also want to thank the family for maintaining the and opening to the public such remarkable history. The wines I tasted at the estate are among the best I’ve had in my trip in Athens and travelled back with 3 bottles of my fave white and red wines. And you cannot have a with out pairing with Greek cheese, ham and pastries. All in all, it was a memorable day and I look forward to travelling back there again. Time well spent ! The guide was incredible, very friendly and well-spoken. includes wineries, gardens, horses, Queen tower, and tasting. I suggest to dress accordingly to weather as most of the time is spent outside, as well wear warmer socks or you can buy slippers for 1,50€ to wear inside the castle, it’s not allowed to go with shoes. The was very informative and fun. The is totally worth the money. Recommend! A beautiful place in Greece that everyone shall visit 🙏 It was a very positive experience in Ilion region but a few things must be changed concerning the inter road streets of the Queen s as also a special care must be given to the entrance of the meaning the front door . Tickets must have a separate desk for the cashier. Conglatulations to Mr Koutsavlis that is a very responsible person and the specialist for their knowledge and positivity. You wouldn’t believe that this place is in Athens! Definitely have a Very nice place! We took a and the guide had a really good knowledge about the place and also some interesting facts about Greece and Athens. The was amazing and delicious! Πραγματικά αξίζει!! Και τα ιστορικά δεδομένα που δίνει ο ξεναγός και ο πύργος μέσα και έξω και η δοκιμή κρασιών! Είναι μια μοναδική εμπειρία ταξίδι στο χρόνο! Great experience! The guide was exceptional in showing the tower, the biological cultivation of vines and explained all about during a at the end of the tour. Amazing tour, Alex has incredible knowledge and an asset to the Queen's Queen’s at Ilion is a fascinating historic site—originally built in 1854 under Queen Amalia’s vision as part of a modern agricultural estate . Today, it stands as a picturesque landmark offering a glimpse into Greece’s 19th-century heritage. What delighted me: The tower’s age and royal origins give it a romantic, almost fairytale quality, perfect for history lovers . Nestled in Ilion, it’s a calm escape from the bustle, yet still connected to Athens. Areas for improvement: Some areas show weathering and could benefit from restoration—especially the exterior facade and interior woodwork. Like many old structures, access can be challenging; those with mobility issues should be prepared for stairs and uneven pathways. Basic facilities—like seating, signage, and guided info—are minimal. A visitor center or interpretive panels would greatly enhance the experience. Hidden Gem! Must visit! We were able to reserve a private and learned so much about Grecian royalty and Queen Amalia’s agricultural innovations. was included after of grounds. €35 per person. Grounds also provide horseback riding and lessons. Went on the Friday 4/26. Absolutely loved it. Alex was such a great guide. There is no wait time really. Just make sure to make a reservation prior to. Also, show up on time! Several couples/families showed up after the started the tour. A little distracting. But it was such a great of the estate. Added bonus was seeing the baby horse born a week prior! Amazing place and the best experience we've come across. The guided and by Mr Koutsavlis and Mrs Konomi were excellent. We were lucky enough to be in a smaller group (due to the cold weather) so we could really enjoy the view. Would highly recommend. ✨ Book your spots in advance. Μέσα σε λίγη ώρα ο ξεναγός περνάει όλη την ιστορία του σύγχρονου ελληνικού έθνους με απίστευτη ροή και λεπτομέρεια που δεν κουράζει καθόλου και αντιθέτως σε κρατάει σε εγρήγορση! Η υπόλοιπη ξενάγηση έχει και αυτή πολύ ενδιαφέρον, τόσο ο πύργος όσο και η ξενάγηση στους αμπελώνες και τη γευσιγνωσία! Το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα! Alex is one of the greatest guides that I have ever met. I came with my husband to see the place and she explained everything that we needed to learn. Before we leave it start raining and we couldn’t find a taxi. She came with us to the main road and helped us to find one. She was very helpful and friendly. Thank you for the great experience. What a beautiful way to travel back in time, if only for a few hours. Beautifully and respectfully conserved, this gem is worth booking a to enjoy upclose. Amazing knowledgeable hosts, not a dull or boring moment in sight! Also I'm not one to complain about a delicious to end the day on a grandiose note. Thanks to all the staff there! The guided is one of the best I've ever been on. The guided was informed and entertaining. The concluding was exquisite where we tasted five different wines and had some nibbles. Highly recommend Ένας μαγικός χώρος στην καρδιά της Αθήνας. Πιστεύεις πραγματικά ότι ταξιδεύεις στον χρόνο. Είχες την αίσθηση ότι βρισκόσουν σε άλλη χώρα. Η ξενάγηση ήταν από τις καλύτερες που έχω βρεθεί χωρίς να κουράζεσαι καθόλου. Χρειάζεται κράτηση θέσεων η οποία γίνεται μέσω email. What a great way to spend 3 hours in Athens!
