About the Tour
The sightseeing tour is completely private and personalized. You can choose which stops you wish to visit with your driver and how much time to spend at each. While there is a suggested itinerary, you are welcome to customize it according to your preferences.
You begin with a visit to the Acropolis Museum and Hill, where you can admire the Parthenon and the modern Acropolis Museum with its unique ancient exhibits. Afterwards, you walk along Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, one of Athens’ most beautiful pedestrian walkways.
Continue to the picturesque Plaka and Monastiraki — Athens’ oldest neighborhood with Byzantine churches, a lively bazaar, and the city’s best souvlaki. The heart of the city beats in Syntagma Square, in the center of modern Athens.
The journey concludes with an ascent to Lycabettus Hill, the highest hill in Athens. Surrounded by pine trees and offering impressive 360° views of the city all the way to the port of Piraeus, it is the ideal place to take photos and reveal the grandeur of Athens.
