Description

Begin your half-day tour with a visit to the Acropolis of Athens, the main symbol of Hellenic heritage and the most important and iconic landmark of Greek civilization and architectural grandeur. Admire the Parthenon, the Erechtheion with the famous Caryatids, and the Temple of Athena Nike. Next, visit Syntagma Square, the central square of Athens, and see the Hellenic Parliament building, built between 1836 and 1840. See the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier guarded by the elite soldiers ‘Evzones’. Watch the changing of the presidential guard and enjoy the show as they perform a perfectly synchronized ceremonial. Drive up Lycabettus Hill, the highest point in Central Athens, where you can enjoy the Lycabettus Hill viewing area and its breathtaking views of the Acropolis and the surrounding areas of Athens, while you enjoy a nice cup of Greek coffee or refreshment. Head down Lycabettus Hill and make your way towards the Panathenaic Stadium, also known as Kallimarmaro. It is where the first Modern Olympic Games were held in 1896 and the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble. Finally, end your journey in beautiful Plaka, situated at the foot of the Acropolis, where you can enjoy a nice walk in its cobblestone streets lined with sidewalk cafes, tavernas, and tiny shops selling ceramics, jewelry, and clothes.
