Athens Semi-Private Minibus Tour (Up to 6 Passengers)

Enjoy a tour of Athens, combining many of the city’s principal modern and classical sights. This tour includes an overview of the modern city and striking contrasts to the remains of its glorious past. Drive by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of the Parliament House on Constitution Square, the Panathenian Stadium (site of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896). See vistas of the Presidential Palace (ex Royal Palace), government buildings and elegant homes. Drive along Panepistimiou Avenue and view the Catholic Cathedral, the Academy, University, National Library and Omonia Square. In contrast, we visit the Roman Temple of Olympian Zeus, the crowning beauty and glory that was Athens, the Acropolis with its many monuments atop its rocky base, including the stunning Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion with its Porch of Maidens. After your 30 min visit at Acropolis for photos of the Athens view your escort will guide you to our vehicle to drive you across the city for a visit at the Floisvou Harbour, on the shores of the Aegean, of the most elegant places in Athens. There, you will visit the 1912 battleship, the M/S Averoff and an ancient replica of a Hellenic Trireme. Finish up your tour with a walk along the boardwalk to take in the daily rhythm of Athenian life.
