Enjoy the Beauty of Athens and the Modern Acropolis Museum
This tour gives you the opportunity to observe the striking contrasts that make Athens such a fascinating city. Our expert English speaking driver will take you to the Panathenaic Stadium where the first Olympic Games of modern times were held in 1896 (short stop). Continue and pass by the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Hadrian's Arch, the Parliament and the memorial for the Unknown Soldier, the Academy, the University, the National Library, the Constitution Square (Syntagma). On the Acropolis you can experience the Architectural Masterpieces of the Golden Age of Athens: The Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion and last but not least, "the harmony between material and spirit", the monument that "puts order in the mind", the Parthenon. Lastly, continue and visit the place where the statues found their home and admire the wonders of the classical era: The new Acropolis museum.
After this visit follows the visit of the new Acropolis Museum, located on the ancient road that led up to the "sacred rock" in classical times, housing every artifact found on the rock and on its feet, from the Greek Bronze Age to Roman and Byzantine Greece. A walk through its galleries is a walk through history – among the masterpieces of the Archaic and Classical periods, but also in the ancient neighbourhoods of Athens.
