Itinerary
Meeting & Starting Point
Begin your drive from the port, making your way through the scenic areas of Zea Marina, Kastela, and Microlimano. Head toward the Faliro district, where you’ll pass by the city’s oldest port and notable venues from the 2004 Olympic Games, such as the Peace and Friendship Stadium.
Syntagma Square, home to the Hellenic Parliament and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, is a central symbol of Greek democracy.
The Panathenaic Stadium, built entirely of marble, is the historic site of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. It also hosts the handover ceremony of the Olympic Flame before each Games, symbolizing the enduring spirit of Olympia.
The Temple of Olympian Zeus, once one of the largest temples in the ancient world, was dedicated to the king of the Olympian gods. Although only a few columns remain today, its scale still reflects the grandeur of ancient Athens.
Hadrian’s Arch is a monumental gateway built to honor the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Today, it marks a historic entrance into the heart of ancient Athens, standing proudly near the Temple of Olympian Zeus.
Enjoy some free time in Plaka, Athens’ oldest neighborhood—a picturesque maze of narrow lanes and colorful neoclassical houses nestled beneath the Acropolis. It’s the perfect spot to shop for local goods and savor traditional Greek cuisine.

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.
