Discover the historic wonders of Athens and be amazed by the iconic sites of this remarkable city on your guided tour. Explore the world-famous Acropolis and visit Cape Sounion, where you find the temple dedicated to the God of the Sea, Poseidon.

Your tour starts with a photo stop at the Panathenaic Stadium, built entirely of white marble and the site of the first modern-day Olympic Games. Pass major landmarks, such as the National Library, the Royal Palace with its guards dressed in uniform, and the Greek Parliament, before arriving at the ancient citadel of Acropolis.

Climb the winding gravel paths to the rocky outcrop, crowned with the building that has influenced architecture around the world. As you reach the top, far-reaching views of ancient temples and ruins open before you. Fine marble sculptures tower above as you visit the Parthenon—the most famous building on the Acropolis.

Immerse yourself in the treasures of Acropolis Museum, one of the world’s top collections of artefacts from the Greek Bronze Age and Byzantine era.

Take some time for lunch before venturing to Cape Sounion, the southernmost tip of the Attic peninsula.

Take a scenic drive along the coastal road which offers fantastic views of the Saronic Gulf. Your expert archaeologist escort will dive you into the history, the myths and the legends of the temple which was built here in 44 B.C. on a hilltop overlooking the sea. It was dedicated to Poseidon, god of the seas.

Entering the archaeological site, you will have one-hour free time to enjoy the remaining of the temple and the breathtaking views over the Aegean sea as the sun dips below the horizon.

The tour will conclude with a drive back to Athens, completing a full day of history and beauty.
