WHAT YOU VISIT
Acropolis & A Walk Through Ancient Agora
Embark on a guided exploration of the world-renowned Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site called "the most striking and complete ancient Greek monumental complex still existing in our times." Climb up 80 steps and witness the breathtaking Parthenon and the Erechtheion, considered one of the most important temples in ancient Greece. A walk to Plaka, Athen's charming old quarter, offers free time to walk its narrow streets, shop and stop in a local taverna for a delightful selection of Greek mezes. Refreshed, you'll visit the Agora, Athens's once bustling political and administrative heart followed by a stop at Stoa of Attalos, a reconstructed building that offers a look at life in ancient Athens with a collection of everyday objects which were unearthed during excavations.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Situated next to the Parthenon, the Erechtheion boasts the striking Porch of the Caryatids, featuring six elegant female statues that serve as columns functioning as architectural support. From this elevated vantage point, soak in panoramic views of Athens and its timeless beauty.
SNACKS
Relax in a taverna with a glass of ouzo, soft drink, or water, along with Greek salad, tzatziki, and two meatballs with dill, parsley, carrot, and onion.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
A panoramic drive from the port brings you into the heart of Athens, offering stunning views of the city's historic landmarks and vibrant streets.
