What to Expect
A unique half-day Athens tour in the comfort of our luxurious brand-new vehicles and with live commentary of our English-speaking professional drivers!
Your experience starts with your driver picking you up and drive you to Lycabettus Hill where you will admire the spectacular panoramic view of Athens all the way to the Saronic gulf.
The next stop of this amazing Athens private tour is UNESCO-listed monument, Acropolis. Acropolis hosts the masterpiece temples of Parthenon, Propylaea, Erechteion, Athena Nike, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the Dionysus Theatre.
Upon exit from the sacred hill of Acropolis, you walk up the steep Areios Pagos rock just as Apostle Paul did and preached Christ’s word for the first time in Greece.
You will stroll by the gigantic
temple of Zeus and the Arch of Adrian, the Panathenaic Stadium that hosted the first modern Olympic games in 1896, the Greek Neoclassic Parliament and the Changing of the Guards and the Athens Trilogy with the impressive Doric and Ionic columns, the statues of Athena goddess and Prometheus.
We can drop you off and finish this amazing private tour by strolling to the picturesque alleys of Plaka old city, which takes you back to when Athens was just a small village under the Acropolis! Alternatively, we can drop you off at your hotel after Athens Trilogy.
A comprehensive Athens private tour, at your own pace, with free pick up and drop off.
Add to this exquisite day, a 3-course meal option to selected Athenian restaurants (please inquiry).
Athens Private Tour Itinerary
We pick you up at the Port or Airport or your Hotel in Athens at 8:30 am
Beginning the Athens tour you have the chance to admire the magnificent panorama of the city from Lycabettus hill at 745 ft. (277 m). Lycabettus stands high above Athens, commanding a clear view across the Attica basin and the Aegean.
Acropolis, a UNESCO Monument of World Heritage and a symbol of democracy and Greek civilization.
It includes four of the greatest masterpieces of classical Greek art – the Parthenon (Temple , dedicated to the goddess Athena) , the Propylaea (the monumental gateway to the Acropolis), the Erechthio (Temple dedicated to both Athena and Poseidon) and the Temple of Athena Nike (Victorious in Greek).
Continuing our Athens Tour you will visit the gigantic Temple of Olympian Zeus and Adrian’s Arch. The Temple was designed to be the biggest temple in ancient time.
The only stadium in the world built entirely of marble. The Stadium hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 and today is used as the final point of the Athens Authentic Marathon.
You will see the impressive shift change of the traditionally dressed guards (evzones) in front of the Greek parliament and the Marble Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. From there, you visit the Athens Trilogy, the Academy of Athens, the University and the National Library, wonderful neoclassical buildings.
In the heyday of ancient Athenian culture and power (roughly 500 B.C.E. to the mid-300s B.C.E.), the agora was the centre of all aspects of public life.
It was the centre of economic life and served as a bustling marketplace. The most important buildings are Stoa of Attalos, a reconstruction of the ancient building, completed in 1956 by the American School of Classical Studies and the Temple of Hephaestus, commissioned by Pericles and completed in 415 BC.
If there is time left, you will have an hour of free time in the ancient neighbourhood of Athens close to Acropolis, named Plaka.
Plaka is full of people, music, typical restaurants “tavernas”, beautiful houses, cosy cafes and little shops with souvenirs.
You can visit Anafiotika, a small area in Plaka that reminds you of a Cycladic island.
Afterwards, we will drop you off at your residence or at the airport.
