Begin your exploration at the Acropolis, topped by the Parthenon—the most renowned monument of ancient Greece. Constructed in the 5th century BC under Pericles’ leadership and crafted by the artistic brilliance of Pheidias, the Parthenon was dedicated to Athena, the city’s patron goddess. Its flawless proportions and magnificent sculptures represent the ideals of Athens’ golden age, symbolizing the city’s victory over the Persians, the dawn of democracy, and its unparalleled cultural accomplishments.

• Panathinaiko Stadio - Proceed to the Panathenaic Stadium, initially built in 330 BC for the Panathenaic Games and reconstructed in marble by Herodes Atticus in 144 AD to accommodate 60,000 spectators. Abandoned with the rise of Christianity, it was unearthed in the 19th century and hosted the Zappas Olympics before being restored for the inaugural modern Olympic Games in 1896. Today, it stands as the only stadium worldwide made entirely of marble.
• Changing of the Guard Ceremony - Pause outside the Presidential Mansion to observe the Changing of the Guards, where the Evzones—elite ceremonial soldiers in traditional attire—execute their precise, synchronized routine, celebrating Greece’s heritage and national symbols.
• Hellenic Parliament - Overlooking Syntagma Square, the neoclassical Hellenic Parliament building was formerly the Royal Palace of King Otto. Constructed between 1836 and 1843 by Bavarian architect Friedrich von Gärtner, it was the first significant palace of modern Greece. After a fire in 1909 ended its royal function, it was later converted into the home of the Greek Parliament, where the nation’s political decisions are made today.
• Mount Lycabettus - Ascend to Lycabettus Hill, the highest point in Athens at 277 meters. From its peak, enjoy sweeping panoramic views of the city, the Acropolis, and the Aegean Sea extending toward the islands—an ideal location for memorable photographs.
• Plaka - Known as The Neighborhood of the Gods, Plaka is situated on the northeastern slopes of the Acropolis, merging ancient history with vibrant modern life. Stroll through its cobbled streets, admire elegant neoclassical mansions and whitewashed houses, and absorb the unique charm that has made it one of Athens’ most cherished districts.
• Ancient Agora of Athens - Once the lively heart of ancient Athens, the Agora served as a marketplace, meeting place, and political center. Here, great thinkers such as Socrates, Sophocles, and Protagoras debated ideas, while citizens gathered to discuss and decide on city matters. Among its many shrines and public buildings stands the remarkably well-preserved Temple of Hephaestus, dedicated to the god of metalworking and Athena Ergane, patroness of crafts—built around the same time as the Parthenon.
• Temple of Poseidon, Sounion - The tour concludes at Cape Sounio, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where the iconic 5th-century BC Temple of Poseidon crowns the cliff edge overlooking the vast Aegean Sea. This ancient marble sanctuary, rich in myth and legend, has guided sailors for centuries. As the sun sets and the horizon stretches endlessly, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views—an ideal moment to reflect on your journey through Greece’s rich history and stunning coastal beauty.
