Tour Itinerary (What You Will See)
1. The Acropolis & Parthenon
Our tour begins with the absolute crown jewel of Athens. You will have ample time to walk up the sacred rock, marvel at the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike. Take in the history and the magnificent views of the city below.
2. Temple of Olympian Zeus & Hadrian's Arch
Next, we drive to the colossal ruins of the Temple of Olympian Zeus, once the largest temple in Greece. Right next to it stands the iconic Arch of Hadrian, marking the boundary between ancient and Roman Athens.
3. Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro)
A photo stop at this architectural marvel is a must. Entirely built of white marble, it is the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games (1896) and remains a symbol of athletic history.
4. Syntagma Square & Changing of the Guards
We will drive to the Hellenic Parliament to witness the impressive changing of the Presidential Guard (Evzones) at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. A perfect moment for photos!
5. Lycabettus Hill (Panoramic View)
We conclude the sightseeing with a drive up to the highest point in Athens. From Lycabettus Hill, you will enjoy a breathtaking, panoramic view of the entire city stretching down to the Aegean Sea.
