Overview

This mini tour of Athens takes us to the most famous sites of the city, both ancient and modern. We will see the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of the Parliament. Their uniform was introduced by King Otto of Greece and was inspired by the traditional clothes of the mountain warriors and bandits who formed the resistance to the Ottoman Empire.
We will also see the famous “trilogy” of buildings designed by the Danish architects Theophil and Christian Hansen: the Academy of Athens, the University of Athens, and the National Library. In grand neoclassical style, they represent the ambitions of the early Greek state.
Along with these more modern landmarks, we also see the stadium where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896.
We visit the monument known as Hadrian’s Arch, a distinctive Roman structure dedicated to Theseus and Hadrian, the founders of Athens.
Finally, we view of the Acropolis and the whole city atop Lycabettus Hill.
