Discover the Iconic Landmarks of Greece

Begin with a guided drive that takes in some of Athens’ most historic sites, including the ruins of the Temple of Olympian Zeus—an extraordinary structure that took 700 years to complete. Next, view Hadrian’s Arch, a monumental gateway that historically divided the old and new parts of the Roman city, and see the former Royal Palace and the Panathenaic Stadium, the proud site of the first modern Olympic Games.

Explore the Sacred Acropolis

Arriving at the base of the Acropolis, ascend approximately 200 steps to reach this signature symbol of Greece’s Golden Age. Walk among sacred temples dedicated to Athena and Poseidon, and imagine the lives of ancient citizens who once worshipped here. Stand in awe at the majestic Parthenon, gazing out over the city below and immersing yourself in the grandeur of Greece’s ancient civilization on this unforgettable journey.
