See the Heart of Athens
This comprehensive city tour takes you to the modern
sights in the heart of Athens and the most important ancient sights that have
been standing in the city for millennia. The tour concludes at the
Acropolis which is one of the most visited and culturally revered ancient
sights in the world. It continues to stand higher than the metropolis built
around it, offering panoramic views of the entire capital.
Modern and Ancient Highlights
Start at the Syntagma metro station for a 10-minute
tour inside the station’s museum. Archaeological artifacts uncovered during the
metro’s construction offer insight into daily life here thousands of years ago.
The next stop is the Greek Parliament, followed by the Monument to the Unknown
Soldier where you will watch the Changing of the Guards.
The walk continues to the National Gardens of Athens,
Zappeion, Temple of Zeus, and Hadrian’s Arch. The route passes by the Plaka
district to reach the next and final stop: the Acropolis.
The Acropolis
Entering the south slope of the Acropolis, you’ll
visit the Dionysus Sanctuary and Dionysus Theater before you walk up the slope
leading to the Acropolis monuments. Panoramic views of the city will be perfect
for Instagram-ready photos.
During your tour, you’ll gain insight into the
significance of the historic monuments of Acropolis including the Parthenon,
the Erechtheion, the Propylaia, the Nike Temple as well as other significant
sights of Athens including the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Ancient Agora, the
National Observatory of Athens and the city’s scenic hills: Filoppapos, Mars,
and Pnyx.
The tour ends at the Acropolis.
