Return details
-
The Hellenic Parliament, in Greek known as Voulí ton Ellínon is the parliament of Greece, located in the Old Royal Palace, overlooking Syntagma Square in Athens. The Parliament is the supreme democratic institution that represents the citizens through an elected body of Members of Parliament.
-
Monument to the Unknown SoldierWe will see the changing of the guard (Euzones) in front of the old palace, which is today Parliament House, above the central square of Athens.
-
Plateia SyntagmatosVisit Syntagma Square, the beating heart of modern Athens, where history and city life meet. Set right in front of the Hellenic Parliament, this lively square is framed by neoclassical buildings and inviting cafés. It's the city's main gathering place — a true symbol of Athens, blending tradition with everyday energy for visitors to soak in.
-
National GardenStep into the National Garden, a lush, shaded oasis in the heart of Athens, just steps from Syntagma Square. A true oasis at the city's core, with plants and flowers from every corner of the world — many of which still can't be found anywhere else in the country. The path leads naturally to the Zappeion, an elegant 19th-century building surrounded by manicured grounds — a favorite spot for a relaxed stroll and a glimpse of everyday Athenian life away from the crowds.
- Continue on foot to the Panathenaic Stadium, also known as Kallimarmaro, one of Athens' most recognizable landmarks. Admire the historic stadium and learn about its ancient origins, its reconstruction in Pentelic marble and its central role in the first modern Olympic Games of 1896. (pass by)
-
Arch of HadrianYour private host will introduce you to the fascinating transition from ancient to Roman Athens.
- The Monument of Lysicrates, also known as the Lantern of Diogenes, is a cylindrical stone building, the best-preserved choregic monument of antiquity. The word choragic is an adjective that means relating to a choragus, a wealthy citizen in ancient Greece who paid for, organized and led a musical chorus for a public festival or play. (pass by)
-
AnafiotikaTucked beneath the northern slopes of the Acropolis, Anafiotika is a hidden, island-style neighborhood with whitewashed houses, narrow alleyways and blooming bougainvillea. Built by settlers from the island of Anafi in the 19th century, it feels worlds away from the bustle of the city — a quiet, secret corner where Athens unexpectedly turns into the Cyclades.
- The Tower of the Winds is an ancient octagonal marble clock tower and weather station located in the Roman Agora in Athens. Built around 50 BC by the astronomer Andronikos of Cyrrhus, it combined sundials, a water clock and a bronze Triton weather vane to track time and weather. (pass by)
- Admire the Roman Agora which is an archaeological site in the center of Athens, near Plaka. It was the central marketplace in ancient Athens during Roman times. This area was where commercial transactions and meetings took place. (pass by)
-
Hadrian's LibraryHadrian's Library, an important part of the extensive building programme of the philhellene emperor Hadrian, was built in 132 AD, in order to accommodate the city's largest library and probably, the State Archives but also the worship of the emperor.
-
Monastiraki SquareA collision of eras: Roman ruins, a market buzzing with sandals and spices and rooftop tavernas facing the Acropolis. This is Athens at its most alive.
-
Ancient Agora of AthensIt serves as a peaceful contrast to the bustling Acropolis, allowing you to walk the exact grounds where philosophers like Socrates and Aristotle once lectured.Your tour concludes at the Ancient Agora, leaving you in the heart of historic Athens and within walking distance of charming cafés, traditional tavernas and the Acropolis should you wish to continue exploring independently.
