Your unique tour begins with pick-up from Piraeus Port early in the morning. Our professional driver will greet you at the exit of your ship, holding a clearly visible sign with your name and the Van Taxi Transfer logo. You’ll board a comfortable, air-conditioned luxury vehicle, ready to start an unforgettable tour of ancient and modern 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.

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

After your full-day tour of Athens is complete, our driver will safely transfer you back to Piraeus Port. The journey takes about 30-40 minutes, depending on traffic, ensuring your timely arrival for boarding your ship or continuing your journey.
