Overview

Panoramic Athens Tour offers a unique experience that blends the rich history of Athens with its vibrant modern character. Visit the Panathenaic Stadium, the site of the first modern Olympic Games, and take in the breathtaking views from Lycabettus Hill. Stroll through the charming Plaka district, where narrow streets are lined with traditional shops and tavernas, and witness the iconic Changing of the Guards at Syntagma Square, in front of the Hellenic Parliament. Admire the majestic Acropolis from carefully selected viewpoints, and see the impressive Athens Trilogy – three neoclassical buildings that represent the cultural and intellectual heritage of modern Greece.

Please note: This is a panoramic tour. Entry to the Acropolis archaeological site and the Panathenaic Stadium is not included, as visits are from the exterior only.

Important Note- The remaining 20 minutes will be allotted for the travel time from pick up until drop off of each stop of our tour.
