City Break in Athens, 4day

After breakfast, you will join a comprehensive morning sightseeing tour of Athens, designed to introduce you to the city’s most important landmarks and its timeless historical legacy.

Your tour will pass by the Panathenaic Stadium, the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble and the venue of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. Continue past the Hellenic Parliament and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where you may see the traditional Evzones guards. You will also pass by key landmarks such as the Maximos Mansion, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian’s Arch and the elegant neoclassical trilogy: the Academy, the University and the National Library.

The highlight of the day is the Acropolis, the eternal symbol of Greece. Here, you will travel back in time as you explore the Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion. The tour continues with a visit to the impressive Acropolis Museum, home to exceptional treasures from the Golden Age of Athens.
