Discover the cradle of civilisation, birthplace of democracy, and home of philosophy on a private half-day tour of Athens. You will experience some of the greatest monuments ever built, with visits to all the major attractions — from the site of the first modern Olympics to the former Royal Palace.
The tour takes in the Panathenaic Stadium, the only marble stadium in the world, where the first modern Olympic Games took place in 1896. Continue to the Arch of Emperor Hadrian and the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the largest temple of the ancient world.
Ascend to the Acropolis — a work of architectural perfection — to admire the Theatre of Dionysus, the Odeon of Herod Atticus, the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechthion, and the New Acropolis Museum. Take in panoramic city views from Lycabettus Hill, then visit the Parliament buildings to witness the changing of the Royal Guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Finish in the lively Plaka neighbourhood, exploring Omonia Square and its open-air flea market before returning to your hotel.
