2. Constructed on the south side of the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum started admitting guests in 2009, being today one of the most modern archaeological museums in the whole world. The museum's modern architecture constitutes a landmark on its own, while its distance, 300 meters from the Acropolis entrance, is offered for a short walk. Your tour guide, should you choose this option, will walk you through Dionysiou Areopagitou, the main street of the Acropolis area directly to the museum entrance. For guests in need of assistance, our luxurious vehicles will be waiting to pick you up at the Acropolis entrance and drop you off right at the back of the Museum. Main home to the Acropolis sculptures, the Museum's exhibition units are predominantly thematic.

3. A monument that seamlessly merges ancient with contemporary history, Panathenaic Stadium is only a short drive from the Acropolis. Originally a racecourse of the 6th century BC, it hosted the Panathenaic Games (whole Athens Games), a religious and athletic festival in honor of the goddess Athena, to which its name is attributed. In the 4th century BC, the Athenian statesman built an 850-foot (250m) long stadium, with tiers of stone benches arranged around the track. Panathenaic Stadium is widely known for the rebirth of the Modern Olympic Games, which were hosted in 1896 at its premises. On 6 April (25 March according to the Julian calendar then in use in Greece), the Games of the First Olympiad were officially opened; attended by 80,000 spectators. We will have a short-stop option. Your driver will be waiting for you while you step onto the track, walk through the marble seats, and take pictures of the marble royal thrones, reliving the history of the Stadium.

4. Syntagma Square is the central square of Athens. The square is named after the Constitution (Syntagma) that Otto, the first King of Greece, was obliged to grant after a popular and military uprising on 3 September 1843. It is located in front of the 19th-century Old Royal Palace, housing the Greek Parliament since 1934. During our passing by, we may have the option for a photograph stop, should we coincide with the change of the presidential guard (the traditional "Tsoliades"), that takes place in front of the parliament. We will also pass by, in the comfort of our LIM Transport vehicles, the old parliament and the neoclassical architecture buildings of the University, the National Library, and the Academy. Your tour guide, should you choose the guided tour option, will also share with you the stories of the turbulent recent financial crisis years, during which Syntagma Square was the place for daily public assemblies and demonstrations.

About Athens

Athens sets the Acropolis above a sprawling modern capital, where ancient ruins, hillside lanes and long taverna evenings sit side by side.

The Parthenon crowns the Acropolis, flanked by the Erechtheion and its porch of caryatids, and the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill displays sculpture found on the rock. Around it, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the marble Panathenaic Stadium make the classical city easy to walk through.
