Begin your day with breakfast at the hotel before heading out on a guided exploration of Athens.
Your tour starts with a panoramic drive through the heart of the city, where neoclassical architecture lines avenues such as Panepistimiou, Stadiou, Queen Sofia, and Amalias.
You’ll pass major landmarks including Syntagma Square, the Greek Parliament, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Continue on to see the Presidential Mansion, the marble Panathenaic Stadium — site of the first modern Olympic Games — and the towering columns of the Temple of Olympian Zeus.
The highlight of your morning is a visit to the Acropolis. Enter through the Propylaea, the monumental gateway, and walk among the ancient ruins that defined classical civilization. You’ll explore the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the famous Caryatids — all masterworks of architecture and sculpture from Athens’ Golden Age. As your guide shares the rich history behind these sacred structures, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the legacy of ancient Greece.
