The tour starts with an early morning pick-up from your hotel, usually at 8:00-9:00 am, in a luxury vehicle. Your driver will greet you and offer you water and maps of Athens.
Your first stop is at the iconic symbol of Athens, the Acropolis. Here you’ll admire up close the majestic Parthenon, the imposing Propylaea, the Erechtheion, and the picturesque Temple of Athena Nike.
Continue to the ultra-modern Acropolis Museum, an architectural marvel housing priceless treasures. Here you’ll explore exhibits rescued from the Acropolis, gaining a deeper understanding of ancient Greek art.
Immerse yourself in the charm of Plaka, the picturesque old town of Athens. Wander through its narrow, cobblestone streets, with beautiful neoclassical buildings, quaint souvenir shops, and wonderful traditional tavernas. Enjoy an authentic Greek coffee or a traditional sweet or a souvlaki, feeling the pulse of modern Athenian life.
Your tour continues in Monastiraki, an area bustling with life, energy, and color. Known for its vibrant outdoor market and eclectic atmosphere, Monastiraki is the ideal destination to acquire unique souvenirs and experience authentic Athenian culture.
Admire the grandeur of the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the largest temple of ancient Greece, and feel the Olympic spirit at the marble Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896.
Enjoy a passing by the National Garden, an oasis of tranquility in the heart of the city. Admire the imposing architecture of the Presidential Mansion and pass by the parliament in the historic Syntagma Square, the political center of modern Greece, where you’ll take amazing photos during the changing of the guard of the Evzones.
After exploring the city center, you’ll ascend the picturesque Lycabettus Hill, the highest point in Athens. From here you’ll enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view, gazing at the city sprawling to the sea. If you’re lucky, you might catch a magical sunset that will remain unforgettable.
Finishing the tour, you will pass by Ermou Street, the main shopping street of Athens, and Syntagma Square, where you will see the Change of Guards in front of the Monument of the Unknown Soldier.
The tour concludes with your return to the hotel in the late afternoon. Your driver will return you safely and comfortably, allowing you to rest after a full day of exploration.
