After breakfast, get ready for the Athens City Tour. From the Acropolis to Omonia Square, this half-day sightseeing and Acropolis museum tour showcases all the famous sites of ancient and modern Athens. Offering a perfect overview of the city, this guided half-day tour, the only one that includes a headphone system, will help you get your bearings if this is your first visit to Athens.
We start with a photo stop at Panathinaikon Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games took place in 1896. It is the only stadium in the world built entirely out of white marble. We then proceed, passing by the Zappeion and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Next, we pass the Athens Trilogy, which includes the University of Athens, the Academy of Athens, and the National Library. Continuing, we pass the National Garden, Hadrian’s Arch, St. Paul’s Church, the Parliament, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Schliemann’s House (Numismatic Museum), the Catholic Cathedral, the Old Parliament, Constitution Square, and the Russian Orthodox Church. Finally, we arrive at the Acropolis, where we will visit the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Parthenon, and the Erechtheion with its Porch of Maidens.
The tour continues with a short, pleasant walk passing by the Herodion and Dionysus Theater to visit the Acropolis Museum. Skipping the lines of the new museum, we proceed to see the main attractions such as votives, artifacts of everyday life, statues from the archaic period, the Caryatids, and, of course, the Parthenon hall with the metopes, pediments, and frieze that will amaze you.
