Description:

Athens inspires with its fusion of classical and modern treasures, arts scene, and history of intellectual excellence from philosophers like Plato and Socrates. Explore the splendor of the Greek capital, visit the Acropolis—a World Heritage Landmark, and learn about this ancient city.

Hop aboard a luxury coach and drive around Syntagma Square, the heart of the city. Your guide explains how the old and new are connected and built upon each other as you pass numerous major landmarks.

Visit the National Garden to see ancient ruins set amidst luscious greenery. Continue to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where you can observe the motionless uniformed guards, and then pass by the neo-classical buildings of the National Library.

As you roam through this diverse city, explore interesting facts about the iconic Parliament buildings, and hear stories of the Royal Palace. Also, be amazed by the white marble Panathenaic Stadium, site of the first Olympic Games. Climb the stairs to the top row of seats and take in the panoramic views—a great chance to take some memorable photos.

Visit the remaining columns of the Temple of Olympian Zeus, dedicated to the most powerful god, before venturing to the mighty Acropolis. Ascending the sacred hill, breathtaking views of the city below unfold before you. When you reach the top, weave in and out of temples built in long ago, such as the Propylae and the famous Parthenon, and follow the footsteps of the greatest minds of the 5th century.
