Day 02: Athens – Athens Sightseeing Tour with Acropolis

After breakfast, enjoy an Athens Sightseeing Tour that is designed to give you an overview of all the features that made and continue to make Athens a uniquely Greek city and the centre of one of the greatest ancient civilizations of all times.

Drive past historic Athens landmarks such as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Parliament House on Constitution Square, and the Royal Palace that has served as a Presidential Mansion since the abolishment of the country’s monarchy in 1974. Visit the Panathenaic Stadium or Panathinaiko, the venue for the 1896 Olympics, the first Olympic Games in history.

Continue on to popular Athens attractions such as the National Garden, a lavish 15.5 hectare garden with features such as Corinthian capitals of columns and mosaics, busts of prominent Greek personalities and ancient ruins, initially designed by the First Queen of Greece. Right opposite the National Garden, the 131 A.D. Hadrian’s Arch, a grand marble arch that was once part of a wall dividing the old and new cities of Athens, draws your attention. Enter through the Hadrian’s Arch and you come upon the Temple of Olympian Zeus. The construction for this temple began in 515 BC. After repeated delays, it was finally completed centuries later in 129 AD.

Other sites that we visit include St. Pauls Church, Schliemans House (Nomismatic Museum) and Catholic Cathedral and the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, the largest church in Greece and the venue for official ceremonies such as coronations as well as weddings and funerals of important citizens.

The tour continues on to the Acropolis, an ancient citadel with several temples and historic monuments. One of the most cherished and admired examples of Classic Greek Architecture, the Acropolis astounds architects and engineers even today. Perched high atop a rocky outcrop on the outskirts of Athens, the Acropolis of Athens overlooks the great city and offers great views as well. Explore the ruins of these 5th century BC architectural marvels – check out the Temple of Athena Nike, the world-renowned Parthenon, Old Temple of Athena, Propylaea, Altar of Athena and Theatre of Dionysus Eleuthereus.

Return to hotel after the Athens sightseeing tour ends.
