Itinerary
The Sacred Rock of the Acropolis—most important site of your visit in Greece, with the iconic Parthenon, Temple of Athena, overlooking the vast capital. We will drive you to the bottom of the sacred rock where you will walk up to the Acropolis, enter through the Propylea gates with the Temple of Athena Nike, to then stand before the iconic Parthenon temple and the Erectheion temple with the famous Caryatid statues. We will pick you up at the same spot we dropped you off.
Take pictures at the stadium of the 1st international Olympics and second most important stadium in history, the place where the Olympic Games were revived and largest marble stadium in the world!
One of the finest museums in the world and a building of architectural sophistication, the New Museum of the Acropolis will complete the picture of the sacred rock. It’s a theme museum about findings on the Acropolis and the sculptures of the Parthenon temple. Also built over ancient ruins of an Athenian neighborhood through which you can actually walk, your immersion could not be more direct!
Grandest temple of Ancient Greece, dedicated to the King of the Olympian Gods, gaze up to the Acropolis from the pillars of Zeus to feel like you are wandering in the ancient city of Athens.
Witness the Presidential Guard performing the ritual changing before the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in perfect sync and discipline! Take in the neoclassical parliament and the elegant center of Athens all around you.

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.
