Itinéraire

1. We will transport you directly to the Acropolis, a cultural UNESCO World Heritage site and the greatest architectural and artistic achievement of the ancient Greeks. Explore at your own pace, taking in the breath-taking sights, including the Parthenon temple, built by Ictinus; the Erechtheon; the Propylaea or the monumental entrance to the Acropolis, designed by Mnesicles; and the small temple to Athena Nike. (Time typically spent here includes travel time to attraction.)

   2,3 h

2. Our next stop is the Temple of Olympian Zeus, a 10 minute drive away from the Acropolis. Here you will be able to walk around the unusually tall pillars and ambitious layout that made this temple one of the largest ever built in the ancient world. Work started in the 6th century BC and was only finally completed by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD 131. Viewing these marble columns, one can only wonder at the greatness of these ancient monuments that have stood through time. (Time typically spent here includes travel time to attraction.)

   30 min

3. After a 5 minute drive, we will stop for a photo opportunity at an iconic Athenian spot, the Panathenaic Stadium. Also known as Kallimarmaro (meaning 'made of beautiful marble’), this stadium was built in 1893 on the ruins of an ancient one. The site of the first modern Olympic games of 1896, it is still the biggest marble stadium in the world, with a capacity of around 70,000. Jog around it to uniquely combine cardio and history. (Time typically spent here includes travel time to attraction.)

   20 min

4. After a 10-15 minute drive from the stadium, you will stroll 277 meters above sea level to the very summit of Lycabettus Hill. This is the highest point of Athens, giving you the chance to enjoy a breathtaking view of the city. With the telescope from the top, you can see from the Acropolis to Pireaus and, weather permitting, as far afield as the island of Aegina. (Time typically spent here includes travel time to attraction, plus time taken to walk up and down the hill.)

About Athènes

Athènes dresse l'Acropole au-dessus d'une capitale moderne étendue, où ruines antiques, ruelles en pente et longues soirées en taverne se côtoient.

Le Parthénon couronne l'Acropole, flanqué de l'Érechthéion et de sa tribune des Caryatides, et le musée de l'Acropole, au pied de la colline, présente les sculptures trouvées sur le rocher. Autour, l'Agora antique, le temple de Zeus olympien, l'arc d'Hadrien et le stade panathénaïque en marbre permettent de parcourir facilement la ville classique à pied.
