Itinerary

We start our tour by visiting the Acropolis where you will see the great monuments that were built during the classical age of Pericles and stands for 2500 years. Then by request, you can visit as well the Acropolis Museum. Continuing our tour we will see the Panathenaic Stadium where the first modern Olympics took place in 1896 and it's the only Stadium in the World that is built entirely of marble. In the past, at the same location, the Athenians were celebrating the Panathinaia, a religious festival honoring the goddess Athena. After we see the changing of the guards at the Parliament building and the tomb of the unknown soldier. Then we head to the Athens trilogy to see 3 neoclassical buildings such as the Academy-University and National Library, as well as the statues of Apollo, Athena, Socrates, and Plato. Then we will drive up to Lycabettus hill to see the panoramic view of the city, 267 meters high from the level of the sea. Passing by the temple of Zeus we will stop to see it and Hadrian's Arch, builded in 1st century AD. Then, we drive to the south suburbs of Athens, passing by the Athenian Riviera, on our way we will stop for breathtaking pictures.

Excellent! I highly recommend this tour! We had one full day in Athens before our cruise and I am so happy we picked this tour. We were picked up at our hotel, got to see all of the highlights of Athe (Read More)ns, plus see the coastal beauty of Greece and beaches along our way to Cape Sounion where the Temple of Poseidon is located. Amazing views! One of our favorite memories was the seaside restaurant where we stopped for lunch. A family owned restaurant on the water. If you love fresh fish and seafood with amazing views and great hospitality, you will love this! Our driver was amazing too. Extremely knowledgeable. The information he provided gave us a better understanding for the history of the places we visited. Highly recommend!
