Itinerary

  1. We head straight to this golden sandy beach, a drive of about 40 minutes along the Athenian Riviera. Dive into clear blue waters and soak up the sun. If a more secluded location suits you better, just speak your driver for alternative spots. (Time typically spent here includes travel time to attraction.)

    2.7 h

  2. After all that swimming, enjoy the relaxing 40-minute drive along the glorious Athenian coast to our next destination. Built by the Athenians in the 5th century BC to honour Poseidon, the sea god, this temple stands on top of a hill next to crystal clear waters. You are free to explore the site at your own pace, marvelling at the beauty of the ancient Greek civilization and the natural beauty of the scenery. You have another chance to enjoy the local scenery on our return to Athens (around 1-hour drive). (Time typically spent here includes travel time to the attraction and return to the drop-off point.)

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.
