What to Expect

A unique half-day Athens tour in the comfort of our luxurious brand-new vehicles and with live commentary of our English-speaking professional drivers!

Your experience starts with your driver picking you up and drive you to Lycabettus Hill where you will admire the spectacular panoramic view of Athens all the way to the Saronic gulf.

The next stop of this amazing Athens private tour is UNESCO-listed monument, Acropolis. Acropolis hosts the masterpiece temples of Parthenon, Propylaea, Erechteion, Athena Nike, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the Dionysus Theatre.

Upon exit from the sacred hill of Acropolis, you walk up the steep Areios Pagos rock just as Apostle Paul did and preached Christ’s word for the first time in Greece. 

Adrian's Arch
Adrian’s Arch

You will stroll by the gigantic temple of Zeus and the Arch of Adrian, the Panathenaic Stadium that hosted the first modern Olympic games in 1896, the Greek Neoclassic Parliament and the Changing of the Guards and the Athens Trilogy with the impressive Doric and Ionic columns, the statues of Athena goddess and Prometheus. 

We can drop you off and finish this amazing private tour by strolling to the picturesque alleys of Plaka old city, which takes you back to when Athens was just a small village under the Acropolis! Alternatively, we can drop you off at your hotel after Athens Trilogy.

A comprehensive Athens private tour, at your own pace, with free pick up and drop off.

Add to this exquisite day, a 3-course meal option to selected Athenian restaurants (please inquiry).

Athenian Trilogy

Athens TrilogyAthenian Trilogy, the three elegant buildings on Panepistimiou Street, was designed in the mid-19th century by the Danish Hansen brothers and completed years later with the help of Greek benefactors and donors. The three buildings are:

The Athens University, the first of the three buildings to be constructed, in 1864

The Academy of Athens, inspired by the Propylaea of the Acropolis and  by Aeschylus’ tragedy Prometheus Bound

The National Library is home to an impressive body of knowledge, including the first printed book in the Greek language from 1476.

Plaka

We can drop you off at the end of your tour at Plaka to visit the ancient neighbourhood of Athens around Acropolis. Plaka is full of people, music, typical restaurants “tavernas”, beautiful houses, cosy cafes and little shops with souvenirs.

A not-to-be-missed area in Plaka is Anafiotika, which looks like a Cycladic island.
