The sightseeing ride includes a variety of fascinating stops that visitors always enjoy. First, you’ll visit the famous Acropolis Hill and its Museum, where you can admire the majestic Parthenon temple. Afterward, you’ll explore the modern Acropolis Museum, which showcases impressive statues and artifacts from ancient Greek civilisation.
Another idea would be to stroll along Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, a pedestrianized street adjacent to the south slope of the Acropolis where you can also admire the ancient Theatre of Dionysus and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. Walking a bit further down, you will have the chance to explore 2Plaka - Monastiraki, quaint areas developed around the ancient Agora, where you can find all kinds of small shops. The heart of the city beats around the 3Constitution Square, in Greek Syntagma, the meeting point for both tourists and locals. If you are lucky, you may witness the 4Change of Guards ceremony. Your tour will not be complete unless you visit 6Panathenaic Stadium or Kallimarmaro as Greeks call it.
After exploring downtown Athens, you will visit the stunning viewpoint of Lycabettus Hill, the highest point in modern Athens. Surrounded by pine trees, it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city, extending all the way to the Port of Piraeus. It's the perfect spot to capture fantastic photos and enjoy the scenery for a few moments.
When your ride comes to an end, your friendly Welcome Driver will drop you off at your accommodation.
