Tour description
Departs at 8:00 AM - returns at 12:30 PM.
Explore some of Greece’s greatest treasures and the best of modern Athens on this 3.5-hour morning Athens sightseeing tour. With an expert guide, take a coach tour of the major Athens sites, including the Greek Parliament and Panathenaic Stadium. Then, explore the Acropolis on foot to see the majestic Parthenon and other highlights.
The Athens half day tour begins with a panoramic drive around Syntagma (Constitution Square), passing by National Garden, Hadrian's Arch, St. Paul’s Church, the House of Parliament, the Memorial to the Unknown Soldier, the Catholic Cathedral, and Schliemann's House.
You will then drive past the Athens Trilogy which includes the University of Athens, the Academy of Fine Arts of Athens, and the National Library. Your licensed guide will explain more about Athens' history, old and new, as you look at these stately buildings.
Continue for a photo stop at PANATHINAIKO STADIUM, the cradle
of the first Olympic Games of the modern era, which
took place in 1896 (short stop). It is the only stadium built out of white marble.
Proceed, passing by Zappeion, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Hadrian's Arch.
Make your way to the archaeological site of ACROPOLIS, an UNESCO's world heritage monument, and visit Propylae the monumental entrance to the Acropolis which blends Doric and Ionic building principles, the Temple of Athena Nike, which stands on a protruding mass of rock, protecting the gate to the citade, the Erechtheion with its porch of Maidens, and of course the PARTHENON, the monument that has
been described as "harmony between material
