Descripción

The Athens one day tour depart for a photo stop at Panathinaiko Stadium where the first Olympic Games took place in 1896. Proceed, passing by Zappeion and Temple of Olympian Zeus. You will then drive past the Athens Trilogy which includes the University of Athens, the Academy of Athens, and the National Library. Continue passing by National Garden, Hadrian’s Arc, St. Paul’s Church, Parliament, Tomb of the Unknown soldier, Schliemann’s House (Numismatic Museum), Catholic Cathedral, Old Parliament, Constitution Square, Russian Orthodox Church, and finally visit the breathtaking Acropolis.



Continue with a pleasant short walk passing by Herodion and Dionysos Theater in order to visit the world famous Acropolis museum. Avoid and skip the long lines of the new museum. Main attractions such as votives, statues from archaic period, Caryatids, and of course the Parthenon hall with the metopes, the pediments and the frieze will impress you.



After a morning tour full of images continue in a local restaurant under the slopes of Acropolis for a delicious lunch. After lunch depart for Cape Sounion. Enjoy the wonderful drive along the scenic coastal road which affords a splendid view of the Saronic Gulf and pass through some of Athens most beautiful suburbs (Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Varkiza). Cape Sounion is located only 45 miles (70 kilometers) from Athens, making it the perfect lazy afternoon tour destination. The Cape's Temple of Poseidon is perched on a rocky hilltop overlooking the sea. The view across the Aegean is magnificent with one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the world, extending all the way to Kea and the Peloponnese on a clear day. The Temple of Poseidon was built in 44 B.C., and many of its original Doric columns are still standing. One of the columns has a graffiti left by none other than Lord Byron in the early 1800s. The precipice is a sheer 197 foot drop to the sea.
