Make the most of your time in Athens with a private half-day tour that combines the city's most iconic ancient sites with its modern landmarks. Perfect for first-time visitors or travellers with limited time, this experience offers a comprehensive introduction to the Greek capital in the comfort of a private vehicle.


Begin at the Acropolis, home to some of the world's most celebrated monuments, including the Parthenon, Propylaea, Erechtheion, Temple of Athena Nike and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. Discover the history behind these remarkable structures before continuing through the heart of Athens.

Visit the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Hadrian's Arch, see the Panathenaic Stadium where the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896, and watch the ceremonial Changing of the Guard outside the Hellenic Parliament in Syntagma Square.

Continue past the Academy of Athens, the National Library and the University of Athens before stopping at Lycabettus Hill, where you'll enjoy spectacular panoramic views across the city.

Complete your experience with a visit to the Ancient Agora, the birthplace of democracy, philosophy and public debate, where you'll explore the remarkably preserved Temple of Hephaestus. Alternatively, you may choose to visit the Acropolis Museum instead (museum admission not included).

Ideal for visitors wanting to experience Athens' essential highlights without committing to a full-day tour, this private experience offers flexibility, comfort and plenty of opportunities for memorable photographs.
