What to expect

  1. Acropolis
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Your private driver will meet you directly at the Piraeus cruise port or your hotel, no searching, no waiting. From the moment you step in, the day is yours.
    Your first stop is the Acropolis - the ancient citadel that still dominates the Athens skyline after 2,500 years. Walk among the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike, as your guide brings the stories behind each column and frieze to life. There is nowhere else on earth quite like this.
  2. Acropolis Museum
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Just below the rock, the Acropolis Museum is one of the finest archaeological museums in the world. Original sculptures, intricate friezes, and artifacts from the site itself tell the full story of ancient Athens - in a building designed so you can see the Acropolis through the glass as you explore.
  3. 10m
    One of the largest temples of the ancient world, dedicated to Zeus and completed by Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century CE. Of the original 104 colossal columns, 15 still stand - enough to give you a sense of the sheer scale of what once existed here.
  4. 10m
    Built entirely of marble, the Panathenaic Stadium hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 - and it still takes your breath away. A brief stop here puts you standing in the same place where modern sport was born.
  5. Hellenic Parliament
    Pass by
    Your driver takes you through the heart of the city - past the Hellenic Parliament, the University, the National Library, and the Presidential Residence, where the Evzones stand guard in their iconic traditional uniform. A living piece of Greek history, right on the street
