Highlights

Start the tour from Syntagma Square, where we will meet our assistant and walk together towards the Hellenic Parliament building, to witness the impressive Change of Guard ceremony at 16:00 We embark on a panoramic tour of Athens, starting with the Athenian Trilogy—the National Library, the University of Athens, and the Academy of Athens. These neoclassical gems were designed in the 19th century and reflect Greece’s commitment to education, knowledge, and culture. Then drive past the Presidential Residence, home to Greece’s head of state, and the Maximou Mansion, the Prime Minister’s official residence. Next stop is the Panathenaic Stadium, or Kalimármaro, the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble. It hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 and remains a significant landmark for sports and history lovers alike Visit Also Zappeio, National Gardens, Temple of Olympian Zeus, Arch of Hadrian and the top of Philopappos hill.

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.

Top-ranked sights in Athens: Acropolis, Parthenon, Acropolis Museum.
