Sightseeing Tour in Athens: Syntagma, Acropolis, Lycabettus, Ancient Agora of Athens
If you are looking for the most comfortable and luxurious tour in Athens, look no further! At Nestor Tours and Transfers we have organized the perfect one-day Athens tour to the most famous tourist attractions in Athens, so that you can get the most of your visit to the Greek capital.
Our tour starts from Syntagma Square that hosts the Greek Parliament building and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where you will have the chance to watch the impressive Changing of the Guards ceremony.
Then we go back in time to get a taste of ancient Athens with a visit to four landmarks of Greek history: the Acropolis Museum with a great variety of ancient exhibits found on the Acropolis hill, the exquisite Odeon of Herodes Atticus (or Herodeion) stone theatre, the Temple of Olympian Zeus with the magnificent columns and (of course!) Parthenon that needs no introduction!
Next, ancient history meets the modern one, with a stop to Zappeion Mansion and to the Panathenaic Stadium (or Kallimarmaro). On our way to the Academy of Athens (considered by many experts as the “most beautiful neoclassic building all over the world”), we get to admire the gigantic equestrian statue of Alexander the Great, before we move on to follow Plato’s steps in the open-air archaeological site, where Plato’s Academy used to be.
Then it’s time for a visit to three neoclassical landmarks in Athens. Apart from its exceptional beauty, the National Library of Greece is the perfect place for anyone interested in the Greek history, while the National Archaeological Museum is the largest one in Greece and features an extensive variety of antiquities from all over the country. Last but not least, our one-day Athens tour is completed with a visit to the Old Parliament House that was the first base of the Greek National Assembly.
