What to Expect on Your Tour?

Your tour begins in the neighborhood of Plaka, where architectural marvels, shops, and local culture are proudly on display. Visit the exclusive spot that gives you a unique perspective on the Acropolis next to the National Observatory.

Along the way, you will pass by the Acropolis Museum, the Ancient Greek Cemetery of Kerameikos, Thission, Ancient Greek Agora, and Roman Agora. Take a break here before progressing to the National Gardens, whose many shady trails beckon to tourists and locals alike.

Next up is the Presidential Mansion. See the ceremonial military unit of the Presidential Guards, widely considered one of the best Athens experiences. Move on to the Panathenaic Stadium where the first ever modern Olympic Games were held before admiring the palatial Zappeion Hall. An important Neoclassical gem, the hall hosts both official and private meetings or ceremonies. The tour will end at the striking Temple of Zeus and Hadrian's Arch, another great vantage point for wonderful views of the Acropolis.
