Best of Athens in One Day Acropolis, Acropolis Museum and the city highlights with private transfer
Are you visiting Athens only for a couple of days? Don't worry, you can still go through 2.500 years of culture and history in only 7 hours! Join us for a scenic, seen-it-all tour around the vibrant Athenian city and let us take you on a journey throughout ancient and modern Athens. Discover the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum and the city highlights with a fun and knowledgeable guide.
After your guide picks you up from your hotel on foot, your tour kicks off with what else? the sacred Acropolis Hill. With our expert tour guide by your side, you will learn everything about the monumental buildings of the Acropolis, including the godly Parthenon, the Temple of Nike, the Propylaea and the sacred Erechtheion. Descending Acropolis Hill, you will reach the Acropolis Museum, where you'll have the chance to admire exhibits and artefacts nearly 3.000 years old. Following your visit to the museum, you'll explore the emblematic buildings of Athens’ neoclassical architecture by walking through Plaka, the picturesque “island-like" neighbourhood in the heart of Athens, home to the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates!
After a refuelling lunch break, hop on your luxury vehicle and start your city tour across Athens' most important monuments, including the Library of Hadrian and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Continue to the multicoloured Monastiraki, with its vivid flea market, and dip your toes into 18th and 19th century Athens by driving around Syntagma Square, home to the Greek Parliament since the establishment of the new Greek state. Right next to the imposing building, you will breathe in the scent of the hundreds of plant species found in the National Garden and marvel at the Panathenaic Stadium, where the 1st modern Olympic Games took place!
By the time we say goodbye, you’ll have seen the best of Athens on a tour that encompasses the city’s most important elements: history, architecture, and the locals' everyday life.
