Athens city tour with lunch and Cape Sounion

This tour
gives you an opportunity to observe the striking contrasts that make Athens
such a fascinating city. Our expert guides will take you to see the Panathenaic
Stadium where the first Olympic Games of modern times were held in 1896 (short
stop). Continue and pass by the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Hadrian’s Arch,
the Parliament and the memorial to the Unknown Soldier, the Academy, the
University, the National Library, the Constitution Square (Syntagma). On the
Acropolis visit the Architectural Masterpieces of the Golden Age of Athens: The
Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion and finally “the harmony
between material and spirit”, the monument that “puts order in the mind”, the
Parthenon. Continue and visit the place where at last the statues found their
home and admire the wonders of the classical era: The new Acropolis museum.

Continue in a local
restaurant for lunch.

After lunch drive along
the coastal road, passing the wonderful beaches of Glyfada, Vouliagmeni &
Varkiza to the most Southern point of Attica, Cape Sounion, where the white
marble pillars of the Temple of Poseidon stand. On the way, you have a splendid
view of the Saronic Gulf and the little islands offshore. After visiting the
Temple of Poseidon, you have time to walk at leisure on the rocky promontory of
Sounion.
