Acropolis - The Acropolis marks the beginning of this incredible journey.
Temple of Olympian Zeus - The second destination is the Temple of Zeus, the largest temple in Greece.
Panathenaic Stadium - The third stop is the stunning Panathenaic Stadium, also known as Kallimarmaro, meaning “well marbled,” where the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896.
Hellenic Parliament - The fourth stop is the former palace of King Otto, now the Greek Parliament, where the changing of the guards (Evzones) occurs, along with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the heart of Athens, Syntagma Square.
Mount Lycabettus - This part of the journey offers a complete view of all the previously visited sights.
Flisvos Marina - Departing from Athens, the route follows the Athenian Riviera, offering a breathtaking view of the Saronic Gulf. The first stop is the Marina of Flisvos, one of Athens’ most spectacular marinas, featuring impressive motor-yachts.
Elliniko - Continuing the beautiful journey to Cape Sounio, the route passes the old Athens airport, Elliniko International Airport, used by the Germans and later by the USAAF from 1945-1993.
Vouliagmeni - After passing the old airport, the journey continues through the luxurious area of Glyfada, with its variety of shops and restaurants, leading to Vouliagmeni. The first stop here is a secret, breathtaking spot for capturing stunning photos of the Athenian Riviera and Vouliagmeni area.
Limni Vouliagmenis - After taking magnificent photos, the journey continues to Vouliagmeni Lake, not far away. The lagoon, formed about 2,000 years ago, was once a large cavern that collapsed following an earthquake. The outline of the collapsed cavern roof is clearly visible from a distance. The lake has unique environmental conditions, being supplied with warm seawater (28-35ºCelsius) via an underground channel spreading through a network of flooded caves, so its temperature never drops below 18 °C (usually ranges around 21-24 °C).
Temple of Poseidon - Finally, after visiting all the spectacular places like Faliron, Marina of Flisvos, Elliniko Airport, Glyfada, Vouliagmeni Lake, and enjoying the most beautiful drive through Athens, the journey concludes at Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon. Constructed between 444–440 BC, the Temple of Poseidon is a Hexa-style temple, featuring 6 columns at the front and back, and 13 on each side.
