• Acropolis - This tour covers all the essential sights of Athens. For first-time visitors, it offers a fantastic introduction to one of the ancient world’s greatest cities. During the approximately 2-hour visit to the Acropolis, you will see:
• Propylaea,
• The Parthenon,
• Erechtheion,
• The Temple of Athena Nike.
  Looking down from the Acropolis, you’ll spot two ancient theaters in its shadow:
• The Theater of Dionysus, the oldest Greek theater (constructed in the 5th century BC),
• Odeon of Herod Atticus, built in AD 161. This site hosts performances for the summer Athens Festival.
• Temple of Olympian Zeus - Also known as the Olympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus, this former colossal temple is located in the heart of Athens. Dedicated to “Olympian” Zeus, named for his role as the leader of the Olympian gods, construction began in the 6th century BC under Athenian tyrants who aimed to create the greatest temple of the ancient world. It was completed during the reign of Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, 638 years after it began. In the Roman era, the temple, which included 104 colossal columns, was celebrated as the largest temple in Greece and housed one of the largest cult statues of the ancient world.
• Panathenaic Stadium - Known as Kallimarmaro, this multi-purpose stadium in Athens is a major historic attraction and the only stadium worldwide made entirely of marble. Originally a simple racecourse, it was transformed into a stadium by Athenian statesman Lykourgos (Lycurgus) around 330 BC for the Panathenaic Games. Excavated in 1869, it hosted the Zappas Olympics in 1870 and 1875. After refurbishment, it hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the first modern Olympics in 1896. It served various purposes in the 20th century and was used again as an Olympic venue in 2004. It is the finishing point for the annual Athens Classic Marathon and the last venue in Greece for the Olympic flame handover ceremony to the host nation.
• Mount Lycabettus - Also known as Lycabettos, Lykabettos, or Lykavittos, this Cretaceous limestone hill in Athens stands 300 meters (908 feet) above sea level. Its base is covered with pine trees, and its two peaks feature the 19th-century Chapel of St. George, a theatre, and a restaurant.
• Changing of the Guard Ceremony - A unique experience in Athens is the changing of the guards. The presidential guards, or Evzones, guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Hellenic Parliament building around the clock, regardless of the weather. Evzones are an elite unit of the Greek army, and being selected as an Evzone is a great honor for a Greek guard.
• Arch of Hadrian - Commonly known in Greek as Hadrian’s Gate, this monumental gateway resembles a Roman triumphal arch. It is believed to have been built to celebrate the adventus (arrival) of Roman Emperor Hadrian and to honor his many contributions to the city. The arch features two inscriptions, facing opposite directions, naming both Theseus and Hadrian as founders of Athens.
• Acropolis Museum - One of the most prominent museums built in Europe in the 21st century, the New Acropolis Museum houses the historic archaeological treasures of the Acropolis of Athens. Opened in 2009, this world-class museum of vast proportions is one of the most significant museums of ancient times. It offers a unique glimpse into Greece’s past and is a must-visit for any traveler in this ancient city.
• Ancient Agora of Athens - The ancient Agora, with its magnificent Temple of Hephaestus, can be explored on our tour after lunch, providing an excellent opportunity for a stroll through the beautiful neighborhood of Thiseio.
