Highlights
  • Acropolis - Our Athens private half-day sightseeing tour will begin with a visit to the most important archaeological monument, an icon of the Greek civilization, the Acropolis of Athens.

The Acropolis of Athens, also referred to as the “Sacred Rock” is the most important monument in Europe. When reaching the top of the Acropolis, you will find yourself at the entrance or the Propylaea, which was completed in 432 B.C. You will also get to admire the most imposing monument which is the Parthenon, as well as the Temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheum with the famous Caryatids.

  • Arch of Hadrian - The Arch of Hadrian, most commonly known in Greek as Hadrian’s Gate, is a monumental gateway resembling – in some respects – a Roman triumphal arch.

It spanned an ancient road from the center of Athens, Greece, to the complex of structures on the eastern side of the city that included the Temple of Olympian Zeus.

  • Changing of the Guard Ceremony - In front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, every hour of the day spectators can enjoy the changing of the presidential guards where the Evzones perform a perfectly synchronized ceremonial.
  • Hellenic Parliament - Next on the programme is a visit to Syntagma Square which is the central square of Athens, named after the Constitution that the first King of Greece Otto was obliged to grant. The Hellenic Parliament which is housed in the Old Royal Palace overlooks the Syntagma Square.
  • Mount Lycabettus - The next stop of our half-day Athens sightseeing tour will be at the Lycabettus Hill, where you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Acropolis and the surrounding areas of Athens, take some photos and have a nice cup of coffee.
  • Panathenaic Stadium - After, we will make our way towards the Panathenaic Stadium where the first Modern Olympic Games were held in 1896.
  • Plaka - Our journey will end in Plaka, where you can enjoy a nice walk in the most picturesque neighbourhood of Athens, situated at the foot of the Acropolis.
  • Temple of Poseidon - The Temple of Poseidon which was built in the 5th century BC to honour the Greek god of the sea, is one of the most important sanctuaries in Attica. During the half-day tour to the Temple of Poseidon you will have the opportunity to visit the impressive ruins of the ancient temple and to admire the surrounding natural beauty.

According to the Greek mythology it is here that King Aegeus of Athens flung himself off the cliff because of the mistaken belief that his son had died in a battle with the Minotaur on the island of Crete, giving the name to what is known today as the Aegean Sea. This ancient tragic tale of Theseus and King Aegeus is still used in the modern story-telling today.

Beat the Crowds!!! - Manolis was an absolutely PERFECT guide for my family trip in Athens. He picked us up right at the cruise terminal and took us to spots that other excursions didn't go to. Since it was a private tour and Manolis knows the area, we were able to be the only people at some truly breathtaking spots. Being alone at the Temple of Poseidon is an unforgetable experience and I am so grateful that we took a private tour instead of a group tour! Our driver was so knowledgable about the area and knew routes around traffic. He's super personable and my husband LOVED chatting with him about luxery cars. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE WITH MANOLIS!!!

5 stars professional service - Only people who travel a lot can really appreciate when they do not really have to get stressed, when they arrive at the airport, and they don’t know if their driver, will show up, be elegant professional and clean. If the car is tied up, and safe for you to travel in it. Well I got all the above. Excellent communication, pleasant and polite driver, safe driving and ready to meet your needs. Highly recommend it
