About the Ride
Be picked up by a local, English-speaking professional driver from Athens International Airport or Piraeus Port.
Discover and explore Athens' key historical sites and landmarks in just a few hours with our Athens Layover experience. This flexible experience is fully customisable, allowing you to choose how much time to spend at each location and even make additional stops if desired. Visit iconic sites such as the Acropolis and the Panathenaic (Old Olympic) Stadium, and immerse yourself in the rich history of Athens.
After a brief introduction, you will board your private ride and head towards Greece’s most famous landmark, the Acropolis. Once you reach the top of the hill, you’ll be treated to a breathtaking 360° panoramic view of Athens and its seaside suburbs. At the Acropolis, you will explore the renowned Parthenon, the Propylaia, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike—remarkable archaeological structures dating back to the 5th century BC.
Next, your driver will escort you into the city centre, sharing insider tips along the way. You will visit the President’s Palace and have the opportunity to witness the unique, traditional ritual of the 'Change of Guards.' Afterward, you will explore Constitution Square (Syntagma Square) and The Athens Trilogy—the Academy, University, and Library of Athens—a series of 19th-century neoclassical buildings that are still in use today within modern Athenian society.
In the final hour of your experience, you can choose between two historical attractions: the Acropolis Museum or the Ancient Agora. The Acropolis Museum, which opened its doors in 2009, is considered one of the best museums in the world. It is internationally acclaimed for its unique display of Ancient Greek history, set in a minimalist and modern architectural space. Alternatively, you may opt to visit the Ancient Agora, a well-preserved site once used for religious, social, and cultural activities in Ancient Greece. The Agora is home to Greece's most well-preserved temple, the Temple of Hephaestus, as well as the Prison of Socrates.
Finish your ride with some delicious souvlaki in Plaka, Athens' finest and most historic neighbourhood.
