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.

Tour of Plaka

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.

Monastiraki and Psyrri

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.

Temple of Olympian Zeus and Panathenaic Stadium

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.

National Garden and Presidential Mansion

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.

Lycabettus Hill

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.

Ermou Street and Syntagma Square

After Lycabettus Hill, you’ll pass through Ermou Street, Athens’ main shopping street, and end at Syntagma Square, where you can watch the Changing of the Guard in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Visit to Kerameikos (Optional)

If time allows, you can explore the archaeological site of Kerameikos, a lesser-known but equally important monument of ancient Athens.
