Full Day Guided Acropolis and Sounio Tour in Athens
Description
It's nice to be a time traveler in a city like Athens! Athens is the oldest and most historic city in Europe. It is not only the city of the ancient philosophers of the classical era, even though its appearance refers directly to Ancient Greece. Literally everyone "passed" through Athens, they have "passed" and left their mark, civilizations that have either "integrated" into the identity of the modern Greek or not. It would be best to do this tour in the first few days of your stay in Athens, so you can get an overview. I will tell you about everything and you will see almost everything, so you can decide what is really worth doing during your stay.

Itinerary
Acropolis of Athens and the Slops (Parhenon, Erchthion, Propylaia, Athena Nike, Odeon, Theatre of Dionysus, Sanctuary of Askleipios)
Panathenaic Stadium, stadium built for the first of the modern Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens, Greece. Built on the site of the ancient stadium used for the games of the Panathenaea, it is the only stadium in the world made completely of marble.,
With a height of 277 meters, Lycabettus Hill in the heart of Athens is the highest elevation in the city. It's not surprising that the hull is one of the most beautiful and popular viewpoints in Athens.
Lake Vouliagmeni ("Sunken Lake") is a small brackish-water lake fed by underground currents The lagoon formed about 2,000 years ago. It was once a large cavern that collapsed following an earthquake. The outline of the collapsed cavern roof can be clearly discerned from a distance. The lake has quite unique environmental conditions: it is supplied with warm seawater (28-35°C) 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)
In the heart of buzzing Athens there are a lot of open markets selling anything from food and spices to vintage clothing, antiques and souvenirs. Even if you don’t want to shop a walk into the flea market is a great way to get the real vibe of Athens.
Lively Monastiraki is known for iconic landmarks including the ruins of Hadrian’s Library, the Ancient Agora and the rebuilt Stoa of Attalos, with a museum exhibiting Athenian artifacts.

We had a great day touring. My only complaint is it needed to be clearer that we needed to book a time for the Acropolis. We assumed the tour company would have a set time for that and it didn't. We had to wait an hour for a time to enter so it meant we did not have time for a later tour stop. But at least there was flexibility I suppose.
