Athens City Tour
- Meet the professional driver and start the tour with the hill of Acropolis, which is the highlight of the tour. On the historical hill, you will have the opportunity to look upon the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Dionysus Theatre, the Temple of the Athena Nike, the monumental gateway (Propylaea), the Erechtheion and, of course, the Parthenon, the main temple built for the virgin Goddess, Athena.
- After the Acropolis, we will head towards the Temple of Zeus, the biggest in antiquity, devoted to the King of the Gods, by way of Hadrian's Arch.
- Visit the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896.
- Next, driving by the side of the National Garden, we will see the changing of the guard (Evzones) just in front of the old palace. Today the building is Parliament House, just above the central square of Athens.
- Drive down Panepistimiou Street, one of the most historical streets of Athens, to see numerous 19th-century neoclassical buildings, but more importantly, we'll see the architectural trilogy of Athens (The Academy – The University – The National Library).
