Meet your driver and guide on the pier and set off on a private tour to explore the fascinating city of Athens.Your visit will begin with the most famous temple of the Ancient City -- the Parthenon, dedicated to Athena, the patron goddess of Athens. Walking up a winding path towards the Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage site, you will pass through the Propylaea, and see the Erechtheum Temple and the Porch of the Caryatids in the distance. Reinforced by the hand of man, the natural fortress of the Acropolis stands 230 feet above the city. You cannot help but be in awe of the view below.
The New Acropolis Museum is where, for the first time ever, all the surviving treasures of the Acropolis can be seen together in one place. Works previously held in storage are on display, including finds of the Acropolis, Post Parthenon, Roman Period and the excavation site when the new museum was built. The highlight is the display of the Parthenon Frieze, which is located on the top floor.
Take a scenic drive through Athens. Along the way, watch for the Parliament building, the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the stadium used for the modern Olympics.
Your tour ends with a transfer to the airport or city center drop off.
