Travelers
Athens in one unhurried day, at your own pace. Your English-speaking driver picks you up from your hotel, apartment or the Piraeus cruise port in a private Mercedes-Benz and starts at the sacred Rock of the Acropolis. Walk among the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and its Caryatids and the Temple of Athena Nike, then step inside the Acropolis Museum. Choose the licensed guide option and a Ministry-accredited guide brings it all to life for three hours. After that, Athens is yours, with time to spare. See the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Panathenaic Stadium, watch the Changing of the Guard at Syntagma, and wander Plaka and the Ancient Agora. Enjoy a long lunch at a local taverna, taste the city at the Central Market, browse Kolonaki and finish high on Lycabettus Hill with all of Athens at your feet. No coach, no script: tell your driver what you love and the day is built around you.
