• 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, theatre, and democracy.

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

• Propylaea - The first propylon, or gate, was built during the era of Peisistratos (mid-sixth century BC) after the Acropolis became a sanctuary dedicated to Athena. A new propylon, constructed between 510-480 BC, was destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC and later repaired after the Persian Wars during the fortification of the Acropolis by Themistokles and Kimon. The monumental Propylaea admired by modern visitors was part of the grand Periklean building program, erected between 437-432 BC, following the completion of the Parthenon, by architect Mnesikles.

• 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.

• Parthenon - The Parthenon is a temple dedicated by the Athenians to Goddess Athena Parthenos (Virgin), the patron of their city. It stands as the most magnificent creation of Athenian democracy at its peak and is the finest monument on the Acropolis in terms of both design and execution. Constructed between 447 and 438 BC.

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

• Temple of Olympian Zeus - The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Olympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple in the center of Athens. It was dedicated to “Olympian” Zeus, named for his role as head of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC during the rule of the Athenian tyrants but was not completed until the reign of Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD.

• Panathenaic Stadium - The Panathenaic Stadium offers a wonderful opportunity to learn about an ancient stadium from the 4th century BC. Unlike typical archaeological sites, there are no ruins here. The stadium 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.

• Change of Guards - Unique to Greece are the Evzones and the Changing of the Guard at the presidential mansion, which takes place every day, every hour.

• Erechtheion - The Erechtheion is a temple atop the Acropolis, designed by architect Mnesikles. It is a complex building constructed in the last two decades of the 5th century BC, replacing the ancient Temple of Athena Polias, part of which was destroyed by the Persians sixty years earlier. The new temple was divided into two chambers: an eastern room dedicated to Athena, housing the goddess’ wooden cult statue, and a lower western room accommodating shrines of Poseidon-Erechtheus, Hephaistos, and Boutes, the brother of Erechtheus.

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

• National Library of Greece - The National Library of Greece, founded by Ioannis Kapodistrias in 1832, aims to locate, collect, organize, describe, and preserve the enduring evidence of Greek culture and its evolution over time, as well as significant representative evidence of human intellectual production.

• Plaka - The Plaka area is the old historical neighborhood of Athens, situated 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.
