Itinerary
The Acropolis is the most famous ancient site in Athens and a symbol of classical Greece. At the top stands the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena.
The Panathenaic Stadium is one of the most historic sports venues in the world. Built entirely of marble, it hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. We’ll make a short stop at the Panathenaic Stadium — just enough time to admire this historic site, take some great photos, and enjoy the view of the only stadium in the world made entirely of marble. It’s a special place where the Olympic Flame begins its journey to the Games.
Plaka is one of the most charming neighborhoods in Athens. Nestled at the foot of the Acropolis, its narrow streets are filled with traditional tavernas, cozy cafés, and colorful shops. It’s the perfect place to wander around and soak in the rich history and vibrant atmosphere of the city.
At Syntagma Square in Athens, you can witness the ceremonial changing of the guards in front of the Hellenic Parliament. The guards, known as ‘Evzones,’ are dressed in traditional uniforms and perform a slow, precise march. This symbolic ceremony, which takes place every hour, represents the country’s respect for its history and the protection of democracy.
Lycabettus Hill offers one of the best panoramic views of Athens. You can capture stunning photographs of the city, including the Acropolis, Syntagma Square, and the Aegean Sea in the distance. It’s a perfect spot for unforgettable pictures, especially at sunset.
The Propylaea is an impressive central building of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and is part of the historic Athenian Trilogy, along with the Library and the Academy of Athens. Built in the 19th century in the neoclassical style, they were designed by the Danish architect Christian Hansen, symbolizing the renaissance of education in the newly founded Greek state.
