• Acropolis - The Athens sightseeing tour begins with a visit to the impressive naturally fortified hill of the Acropolis. This tour offers a journey through ancient times in one of the world’s oldest cities, regarded as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of philosophy, theater, and democracy.

Upon passing through the monumental gate of Propylaea, visitors will encounter the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, and the Parthenon. The panoramic views of Athens and Piraeus port are breathtaking. At the base of the Acropolis hill, one can see the ancient Theater of Dionysus (the world’s oldest theater), the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, and the Areopagus (Mars Hill).

• Propylaia - The Propylaea, the monumental gateway of the Acropolis, was designed by the architect Mnesikles and constructed between 437-432 B.C.

• Temple of Athena Nike - The Temple of Athena Nike, located on the Acropolis of Athens, is dedicated to the goddesses Athena and Nike. Built around 420 BC, it is the earliest fully Ionic temple on the Acropolis.

• Erechtheion - The Erechtheion is an ancient Greek Ionic temple on the north side of the Acropolis. At the time of its construction, it was dedicated to the worship of Athena Polias and Poseidon.

• Herod Atticus Odeon - The Odeon of Herodes Atticus, also known as the “Herodeon,” is a stone Roman theater structure situated on the southwest slope of the Acropolis of Athens.

• Theatre of Dionysus - The Theatre of Dionysus is the oldest open-air theater in the world. It was here that the most significant works of the great playwrights Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes were performed.

• Temple of Olympian Zeus - The Temple of Olympian Zeus is one of the most ancient, as it was a place of worship for Zeus from the dawn of history. Peisistratus, the tyrant, aimed to construct a majestic temple around the end of the 6th Century BC, but his plans were halted by the fall of tyranny and the rise of democratic Athens. A century later, the democratic Athenians, who despised Peisistratus’ regime, chose not to complete a project that reminded them of his tyranny. Instead, the materials were used to build the Themistoclean walls. Eventually, the Roman Emperor Hadrian completed the temple about 700 years after Peisistratus had erected the first immense columns, measuring 7 feet 10 inches in diameter. The temple was inaugurated in 121 A.D. The 104 Corinthian marble columns of the Roman sanctuary were a third smaller, yet still the largest in Europe, as was the temple itself, measuring 354 by 135 feet.

• Panathenaic Stadium - The Panathenaic Stadium offers a wonderful opportunity to learn about an ancient stadium from the 4th century BC. Unlike typical archaeological sites, this stadium has no ruins. It was not rebuilt in modern times, but in 1896, during the first modern Olympic Games, its marble covering was renovated, funded by Georgios Averof. The current shape of the stadium mirrors that of the ancient stadium from the 4th century BC.

• Parthenon - The Parthenon, dedicated by the Athenians to Athena Parthenos, the patron of their city, is the most magnificent creation of Athenian democracy at its peak. It is also the finest monument on the Acropolis in terms of both design and execution, built between 447 and 438 BC.

• The Academy of Athens - The Academy of Athens was established with the Constitutional Decree of March 18th, 1926, as an Academy of Sciences, Humanities, and Fine Arts. This building is a replica of the Propylaea of the Acropolis.

• Mount Lycabettus - Lycabettus Hill is the highest point in the center of Athens. Thousands of Athenians and tourists climb to the top each year to enjoy the view from a height of 277 meters.

• Roman Agora - The story of the Roman Forum (or The Forum of Caesar and Augustus) began with Julius Caesar’s donation in 51 BC for the construction of a market. In 47 BC, when Julius Caesar visited Athens, plans were prepared, and some work possibly began but was soon interrupted. The main construction, however, was completed by Augustus between 19 and 11 BC. The Roman Market was Athens’ first organized commercial center, where all commercial activities took place.

• Monastiraki - Monastiraki, meaning “little monastery,” is a flea market neighborhood in Athens’ old town and one of the city’s main shopping districts. The area is home to souvenir shops and specialty stores and is a major tourist attraction in Athens.

• Plaka - The Plaka area is Athens’ old historical neighborhood, located under the Acropolis, around the northeastern slopes of the Sacred Rock, between Syntagma and Monastiraki metro stations. Its village-like atmosphere, neoclassical buildings, charming cafes, souvenir shops, and museums make it a favorite among visitors and Athenians who stroll along its narrow streets. Plaka attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists throughout the year.

• Presidential Mansion - The Presidential Palace, formerly known as the New Palace, currently houses the Presidency of the Hellenic Republic and serves as the official residence of the President of the Hellenic Republic in Athens. Before the abolition of the Kingdoms by the 1974 referendum, the building was the official palace of the Kings of the Greeks. Visitors can see the guards of the President of the Greek Republic, a ceremonial infantry unit that guards the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Presidential Mansion in Athens, Greece.
