Description
Athens Full Day All Inclusive Private tour
Sightseeing in Athens starts with the hill of Acropolis which will make your day. On the historical hill you will have the opportunity to see the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Temple of the Athena Nike, the monumental gateway (Propylaea), the Erechtheum and of course the famous Parthenon, the main temple dedicated to the virgin goddess Athena.
After the Acropolis, we will head towards the Temple of Zeus, the biggest temple in antiquity, devoted to the King of the Gods, by the way of Hadrian’s Arch.
From there we will visit the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896.
Next driving alongside the National Garden, we will see the changing of the guard (Evzones) in front of the old palace, which is today Parliament House, above the central square of Athens.
After that, we will drive to Panepistimiou Street, one of the most historical streets of Athens, to see numerous neoclassical buildings still standing and dating back to the late 19th century, but more importantly we’ll see the Architectural trilogy of Athens (The Academy – The University – The National Library).
Then, moving into the historical center of the city we will drive up the highest hill of Athens, Lycabettus Hill, where you’ll have the best panoramic view of the city, from the hill of Acropolis to the Aegean Sea.
You will be feeling hungry by now, so our next stop is going to be a Greek tavern with the authentic Greek Pitta Gyros in the traditional neighbourhood of Koukaki.
Enjoy your lunch and taste Gyros, the most popular Greek recipe, with a set menu, as described below:
- 1 Pitta Gyros (pork or chicken or veg, fried potatoes, tzatziki, tomato, onion)
- 1 Greek salad (tomato, cucumber, green pepper, olives & feta cheese, dressed with salt, Greek oregano, and olive oil)
- 1 piece of Baklava (layered pastry dessert made of filo pastry, filled with chopped nuts, and sweetened with syrup or honey)
- 1 Drink (beer or glass of wine or soft drink)
(Please contact us in case of food allergies or dietary restrictions)
After lunch, we will visit the two historically old neighbourhoods of Athens, Plaka and Monastiraki, where the famous Andrianou Street is located and be ending at the flea market (shopping area) where you will also visit the Ancient Greek Agora, which is considered the birthplace of democracy, philosophy and free speech. In the ancient Greek Agora, you will visit the Temple of Hephaestus (the best-preserved temple in Greece standing largely as built) and a small museum housed under the Portico of Attalos.
Eventually bringing us to the New Acropolis Museum, a brand new museum opened in 2009 to host all the findings that have been excavated on the hill of Acropolis and its slopes, also known as the museum of the senses. It is counted as one of the best museums in the world.
Instead of the Acropolis Museum, you will have the option of visiting the National Archaeological Museum, which is the biggest archaeological Museum in Greece and houses antiquities from all over Greece.
After traveling with us you will have seen the ‘real Greece’ and met ‘real people’. We are content to show you the Greece we know and love.
Avoiding the tourist traps.
Being a traveler, not a tourist.
