Day 01
Athens Landmarks, Acropolis and Acropolis Museum
- Our guide will take you to see the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first Olympic Games of modern times took place in 1896, for a short stop.
- We continue and pass by the Prime Minister's residence (the former Royal Palace), which is guarded by the Euzones in their colourful uniform.
- During our tour, we will also admire Athens' most important monuments: the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch, the Parliament and the Memorial of the Unknown Soldier, the Academy, the University, the National Library, and Constitution Square (Syntagma).
- At the archaeological site of the Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage monument, we will visit the architectural masterpieces of the Golden Age of Athens: the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, and finally the monument that "puts the order in mind," the Parthenon.
- The last stop of this Athens Sightseeing Tour is the New Acropolis Museum. We continue with a pleasant short walk past the Herodion and the Theatre of Dionysus in order to visit the museum. There, we visit the place where the statues found their home at last and admire the wonders of the classical era.
