Itinerary and Overviews:

Day 1 - 2 (ATHENS)

> Private transfer to Hotel of your choice for 2 nights. (View Hotel Options)

> Private Half Day Tour of Athens with an English Speaking Licensed Guide

Meet your licensed English speaking guide at the hotel lobby. Leave together for the entrance to the Athens Acropolis. Visit the Acropolis and its timeless temples of Parthenon, Erectheion and Athena Nike. A short climb up to the Hill of Philopappus brings you to the imposing Roman period funeral monument and extensive views of Athens and Piraeus. You then descend to the hill of the Pnyx, the area used in Classical Athens as the meeting place for the democratic assembly. You enter the historical Plaka area close to the Thiseion temple, dating back to the 5th century BC, meandering past the ancient Agora with the impressively restored Stoa of Attalus, Hadrian’s Library, and the picturesque Tower of the Winds. The route back leads up over the Areopagus, or Hill of Mars, directly below the Acropolis. Here, in 54 AD, Saint Paul preached his Sermon on an unknown God, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles. Finally, you pass the Roman period Odeion of Herodes Atticus, which is still used as a summer venue for open-air concerts and theatrical performances.

At the end of the tour you may choose to visit the New Acropolis Museum on your own, or walk even further to the marble Panathenaic Stadium, built to host the first Olympic Games of the modern era and Syntagma Square, or see the changing of the Guards at the monument of the Unknown Soldier.
