Itinerary

Day 1

We will start our tour by visiting the Acropolis Hill early in the morning, in order to avoid the crowd. Discover all the sights starting with the magnificent gate of Propylaea, the Temple of the wingless Nike, the Erectheion with the imperious maidens Karyatides, and of course the masterpiece of Classical architecture, the Parthenon. Climbing on the rock of Acropolis you will enjoy an amazing view. Enjoy the theater of Dionysus, the Odeum of Herodes Atticus, the Ancient Greek Agora, the modern city of Athens and even the port of Piraeus.

After our visit to the Acropolis, you will discover the rest of the city by a relaxing ride. You will see the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Hadrian’s Arch and our next stop is the Old Olympic Stadium.

Your driver will lead you to the most beautiful balcony of Athens on Lycabettus Hill where you can capture amazing pictures. Then, you will have the chance to witness the intricate changing ritual of the guards in front of Athens’ Presidential Palace and see some neoclassical buildings of 19th century such as the Trilogy of Culture, the masons on Queen Sophia’s Av. and the House of the Parliament on Constitution Sq. (Syntagma Square) where the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier exists.

The last hour of your tour is free to adapt to your schedule. You can choose one of the following options:

  1. Visit the New Acropolis Museum one og the best museums of the World.
  2. Enjoy the ancient Agora by a walk through the beautiful neighborhood of Thiseio.

After this experience, your chauffer will drive you back to your accommodation.
