The Sightseeing Ride includes a variety of interesting stops that visitors always enjoy. First, you’ll visit the famous Acropolis Hill & Museum, where you can admire the elegant Parthenon temple. Afterward, explore the modern Acropolis Museum, which houses impressive statues and artifacts from ancient Greek civilisation.
Another great option is to stroll along Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, a pedestrianized road adjacent to the south slope of the Acropolis. Here, you can also admire the ancient Theatre of Dionysus and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. The heart of the city beats around Constitution Square (Syntagma), a bustling meeting point for both tourists and locals. If you’re lucky, you might even witness the Change of Guards ceremony. Your tour wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro), the venue for the first modern Olympic Games.
After exploring downtown Athens, your driver will take you to the highest viewpoint in modern Athens, Lycabettus Hill. Surrounded by pine trees, the hill offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city stretching all the way to the Port of Piraeus. It’s the perfect spot for taking fantastic photos and enjoying the scenery for a while.
Next, your Welcome driver will take you to Cape Sounion, located 65 kilometres from central Athens. The drive along the western coastline offers stunning views of the Aegean Sea. The cosmopolitan town centres of Glyfada, Voula, and Vouliagmeni are all buzzing with bars, cafes, and seaside restaurants that attract people from all over Athens. The Athenian Riviera is a perfect place to enjoy dinner or a cup of coffee while gazing out at the Aegean Sea and feeling the Mediterranean sea breeze. It is also home to Vouliagmeni Lake, a must-see geological phenomenon with thermal springs and underwater caves that lead to the sea.
After your seaside dinner, the drive continues to Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon. While relatively remote compared to the city centre, this majestic temple is an important landmark with significant historical and cultural value for Athenians. You’ll have the chance to explore the ancient site and enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of the blue Aegean Sea. End your experience by watching the breathtaking sunset from this unique viewpoint, overlooking the Greek Islands.
After exploring Cape Sounion, you’ll return to Athens along the same relaxing coastal route. Your friendly Welcome Driver will drop you back at your hotel or apartment, completing your unforgettable day.
