    • 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).
