Athens Tour
- Our adventure begins at the Acropolis, Athens' crown jewel. Here, the Parthenon, crafted by the brilliant architects Ictinus and Callicrates in the 5th century BC, still reigns supreme.
- As we stroll through this sacred rock, you’ll feel the echoes of philosophers and rulers who shaped Western civilisation.
- Next, we descend into the Acropolis Museum, a modern masterpiece that houses antiquity's treasures. Here, you’ll marvel at statues, relics, and even newly unearthed artifacts discovered during the museum’s construction. It’s a mesmerising blend of ancient grandeur and contemporary design.
- The journey continues to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, a colossal monument dedicated to the king of the gods. Though construction began in the 6th century BC, the temple faced centuries of challenges before finally being completed by Emperor Hadrian.
- Even in ruins, its towering columns stand as a testament to the ambition of ancient Athens.
- No tour of Athens would be complete without a visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a solemn tribute to those who fought for Greece’s freedom.
- As the Evzones guards stand proudly in their traditional attire, you’ll witness a moment of living history.
- And just when you think the journey is over, we whisk you away to Cape Sounion, where the Temple of Poseidon awaits. Perched on a cliff overlooking the endless blue of the Aegean, this sacred site was a beacon for ancient sailors.
- Along the way, we’ll suggest the perfect seaside spots for a delicious meal, allowing you to soak in the breathtaking views of the Athenian Riviera before the day’s adventures come to a close.
