Overview

Discover the highlights of Athens on a small-group tour that brings together the city’s ancient heritage, neoclassical elegance, and vibrant modern life.

Begin with a short stop at the Panathenaic Stadium, the historic venue of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. Continue on a scenic drive past the former Royal Palace, home to the famous Evzones guards, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian’s Arch, Syntagma Square, the Parliament and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, as well as the elegant neoclassical trilogy of the Academy, University, and National Library.

Next, explore the legendary Acropolis, where the masterpieces of Athens’ Golden Age await. Admire the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, and the magnificent Parthenon, symbols of the artistic and architectural brilliance of ancient Greece.

Conclude your experience at the Acropolis Museum, where remarkable archaeological treasures bring the stories, art, and spirit of classical Athens to life.
