Private Full Day Guided Tour of Athens and Cape Sounion
Travelers will be picked up for a half-day sightseeing tour of Athens, starting with a photo stop at the impressive Panathenian Stadium, built for the 1896 Olympic Games. Next, they will visit the Temple of Zeus, a monumental ruin that still inspires awe. Continuing on, there will be a brief stop at the National Gardens and Greek Parliament to see the traditionally dressed Evzones and, possibly, the changing of the guards. The tour will then proceed to the Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage site where visitors will explore iconic structures like the Parthenon and Erechtheion. After a visit to the Acropolis, travelers will enjoy some free time for lunch before embarking on a scenic drive along the Attica Riviera to Cape Sounio. Here, they will visit the ancient Temple of Poseidon, a significant historical site with stunning views of the Aegean Sea. A personal guide will provide insights throughout the tour, ensuring a memorable experience before returning to Athens.
