Duration: Half day

The contrast between the monuments of a glorious past and the modern elegant structures is what you will enjoy during your tour of Athens. We will begin with a panoramic tour. From the spectacular Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its many monuments on its rocky base, including the Parthenon, the Propylea, the temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion, with its Porch of Maidens, we will proceed to see the Roman Temple of Olympic Zeus, the Panathinaikon Stadium (site of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896), the Tomb of the unknown Soldier, in front of the Parliament House that is guarded by the colorful Evzones, Schliemann’s’ house, the Academy, the University, the National Library, the old Parliament, and then the vibrant Omonia Square. This tour will take you to discover the best of Athens. Continue with a short and pleasant walk past the Herodion and Dionysus Theater, and all the way to the new Acropolis Museum, a marvel of architecture with a full exhibition of the glory of Ancient Athens.
