Overview

Everyone is aware of the indisputable beauty of the Acropolis site, but have you seen the Acropolis sunset?

Beat the heat and the crowds by visiting the Acropolis late in the afternoon! Enjoy a guided tour at the most significant historic monuments of the hill, such as the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaia, the Nike Temple. Then, board your van and follow your guide to Lycabettus Hill which is the highest hill of Athens and enjoy the stunning sunset views of both Piraeus and Athens.

On the way to the hill, enjoy a city tour with photo stops at the most important landmarks of Athens, like the Panathenaic stadium, the “Trilogy”, the temple of Olympian Zeus, the Arch of Hadrian and Syntagma Square.

Once on Lycabettus, watch the sun diving into the sea in warm orange-red colors and take the most amazing photos of your life!

Wrap up your tour by spending some free time in Plaka. Enjoy a cocktail at one of the numerous bars or restaurants in the oldest district of Athens.
