Athens, the cradle of civilization, awaits to enchant you with its history, culture, and timeless beauty. Join us on an Athens Half Day Tour aboard a luxury minibus, and uncover the striking contrasts that make this city so uniquely captivating.
Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from your Athens hotel. From there, we’ll guide you through the city’s most renowned landmarks, ensuring an unforgettable experience.
Ascend the majestic Lycabettus Hill, rising 908 feet (277 meters) above Athens, where you’ll take in sweeping views of the Attica basin and the glimmering Aegean Sea. At its peak stands the whitewashed Church of St. George, a serene sanctuary dating back to 1870 that exudes timeless charm.
Next, marvel at the iconic Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site revered as the symbol of democracy and Greek civilization. Here, you’ll witness four masterpieces of classical Greek art: the Parthenon, the Propylaia, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike—each a testament to the architectural genius of ancient Greece.
We’ll then journey to Syntagma Square, where you’ll experience the ceremonial changing of the guards, or evzones, in front of the Greek Parliament and the Memorial of the Unknown Soldier.
The exploration continues to Monastiraki Square, where the vibrant pulse of Athens meets centuries of history. Nearby, admire the architectural trilogy of the Academy of Athens, the University, and the National Library, embodying the city’s dedication to knowledge and culture.
As we wind through the city, you’ll encounter the grandeur of the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the elegant Hadrian’s Arch, and the marble marvel of the Panathenaic Stadium, site of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.
Finally, before we return you to your accommodation, immerse yourself in the charm of Plaka, the ancient neighborhood nestled near the Acropolis. Stroll its lively streets filled with music, traditional tavernas, cozy cafés, and shops brimming with souvenirs.
