About this excursion
See the best of Athens in one easy day, privately and at your own pace. Your English-speaking driver picks you up from your hotel, apartment or cruise ship in a comfortable Mercedes and starts at the sacred Rock of the Acropolis. Walk among the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and its Caryatids, then step inside the Acropolis Museum to see the original sculptures up close.
Next come the marble Panathenaic Stadium, the Evzones guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the neoclassical Academy, University and National Library. Wander through the Ancient Agora, where Socrates once walked, stroll the old lanes of Plaka, and finish with a sweeping view of the city from Lycabettus Hill.
If there's time, your driver can suggest a local taverna for lunch. Drivers can't guide inside sites, so add a licensed guide for the Acropolis if you'd like expert commentary. No crowds, no fixed schedule, just your group and Athens.
