Experience the heart of ancient Greece and its exceptional fruit of the vine on a full-day adventure that features a guided walking tour of the Acropolis coupled with a wine tasting at a local taverna. A 45-minute motorcoach ride brings you to the ancient ruins, where you'll meet your guide and climb 80 steps through the Propylaea. On the highest point of the Acropolis stands the Parthenon, one of the greatest monuments of ancient civilization, a perfect representation of Doric-style architecture. On the north side you'll find the Erectheum, where it was once decided which god would rule the city. Reboard the motorcoach for a driving tour of the city's highlights, passing the key landmarks and pausing at the Old Olympic Stadium for a photo stop. Then, refresh in modern Athens at a specialty wine tasting experience that introduces you to the local vintages accompanied by a cheese platter. Return to port.
