Overview

Our full-day private tour in the comfort of our luxury vehicles takes you to the most important Athens monuments.

Your driver will pick you up and drive you to your first stop, Lycabettus Hill, offering spectacular views of Athens.

Your next stop is Acropolis Hill to admire up close the famous temples of Parthenon, Propylaea, Erechteion, Athena Nike and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.

The next site is Areios Pagos Hill, and this is the hill where the Apostle Paul preached Christ’s word for the first time in Greece.
Your driver will take you to the temple of Zeus and the Arch of Adrian, the Panathenaic Stadium, the Greek Parliament and the changing of the guards and the Athens Trilogy with the impressive Doric columns.

We will make a stop for your lunch break before you visit Ancient Agora and the Acropolis Museum.
