Enjoy a guided tour that combines all of Athens' historical and modern must-sees!

Visit the Acropolis, the country's most famous monument. The magnitude and rich heritage of Athens will be revealed to you as you explore key sites such as the Parthenon and Erechtheion with your guide. The addition of an iPad will provide a new twist for tech enthusiasts; While moving the iPad, you will be able to see full 3D colored reconstructions of statues, buildings, and ancient objects in real time, thanks to the special augmented reality program.

The world-renowned New Acropolis Museum will then broaden your understanding of Ancient Athens. Following that, enjoy a vehicle tour of the city, passing by more distant but equally important landmarks, such as the Panathenaic Stadium, which hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.

The Presidential Palace, Zappeion, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Gate, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Syntagma Square, the Catholic Cathedral, and the Athens Neoclassical Trilogy are among the sites to be visited.
