Athens is renowned as one of the greatest cities of the ancient world and the birthplace of our civilization.  for first-time visitors this excursion is an ideal introduction to this city's splendid highlights.

Forty minutes after leaving Piraeus by air-conditioned motor coach, you'll reach the natural fortress of the Acropolis, one of the most photographed and recognizable hills in all the world.  then in the company of a knowledgeable guide, you'll walk up the uneven footpath leading to the summit.  sights include the Propylaea, the Temple of Apteros Niki, the Erectheum and the architectural triumph of the Parthenon.

Following your visit to the Acropolis, refreshments will be served at the Grande Bretagne Hotel, situated in the center of Athens.

Your excursion will conclude by passing an array of famous landmarks including Constitution Square, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the royal Palace, Hadrian's Gate and the all-marble Olympic Stadium.

Approximately 4 hours.
