About Athens
Discover the highlights of Athens on a private tour designed for comfort and flexibility. Explore the city's most iconic landmarks and historic neighborhoods with private transportation and a schedule tailored to your journey.
Athens is one of the oldest cities in the world, and its history is visible at almost every turn. The Acropolis rises above the modern city, while ancient temples, Roman monuments, Byzantine churches and neoclassical buildings stand side by side in its streets.
Beyond its monuments, Athens is a lively, contemporary capital — with characterful neighbourhoods, busy squares and countless cafés where everyday life unfolds in the shadow of antiquity.
Travelling between the city's landmarks by private vehicle saves time and energy, especially in the summer heat. You move from one sight to the next in comfort, with a professional driver and a schedule shaped around your interests.

What to See & Do
01
The Acropolis
The rock that defines Athens, crowned by the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the Propylaea — the defining symbol of classical Greece.
02
Acropolis Museum
A modern museum at the foot of the rock, home to the finest sculptures of the Acropolis, with views of the Parthenon from its upper floor.
03
Panathenaic Stadium
Built entirely of marble, the ancient stadium hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 — a striking stop in the heart of the city.
04
Temple of Olympian Zeus
The towering columns of one of the largest temples of the ancient world, beside the Roman-era Arch of Hadrian.
05
Syntagma & the Changing of the Guard
In front of the Parliament, the Evzones of the Presidential Guard perform the ceremonial changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
06
Plaka & Anafiotika
The old town beneath the Acropolis — neoclassical houses, narrow lanes and the island-style whitewashed homes of Anafiotika.

Questions
Athens Highlights FAQ
How long does the Athens Highlights tour take?+
The tour duration is shown at the top of this page. Because the sights are all within the city, most of the time is spent at the landmarks rather than on the road.
Which sights can we see?+
Depending on timing and the selected itinerary, the tour can take in landmarks such as the Acropolis, the Panathenaic Stadium, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Syntagma Square and the old neighbourhoods of Plaka. Let us know when you book if there is anything you especially want to see.
When is the best time of day for the tour?+
In summer, early morning or late afternoon is the most comfortable, as the midday heat on the Acropolis can be intense. Choose the pick-up time that suits you when booking.
What should we wear?+
Comfortable shoes with good grip, as the marble paths on the Acropolis are uneven and can be slippery. In summer, bring a hat, sun protection and water.
Is the tour suitable for families?+
Yes. Travelling between sights by private vehicle saves little legs a lot of walking, and you can take breaks whenever you need them. Child seats can be requested when booking.
