Itinerary

Start your journey at the National Gardens

Your tour begins at Leof. Vasilisis Amalias where you will meet your expert guide and board your comfortable electric golf cart. You will immediately feel the Mediterranean breeze as you prepare to explore the heart of the city.

Watch the changing of the guard

Next, you will head to the Greek Parliament to see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. If the timing is right, you will witness the iconic Evzones perform their memorial march in traditional uniforms in front of this historic landmark.

Ascend for views at Lycabettus Hill

You will then reach the base of Lycabettus Hill, the highest point in the city center. A brief five-minute walk leads you to a stunning 360-degree viewpoint where the entire sprawling capital and the distant sea stretch out before you.

Glide through the upscale Kolonaki district

The tour continues through the chic neighborhood of Kolonaki, known for its high-end boutiques and Greek designer shops. You will learn how this area serves as a modern hub for the city’s fashion and elite social life.

Explore the ancient streets of Plaka

Next, you will enter Plaka, the oldest neighborhood in the city, nestled on the northern slopes of the Acropolis. You will admire neoclassical architecture and winding stone paths that have housed Athenians for thousands of years.

Experience the energy of Central Market

Then, you will visit the vibrant Central Market where local vendors display fresh seafood, meats, and aromatic spices. This is the culinary heart of the city where you can see exactly where local chefs source their ingredients.

Trace the history of Filopappos Hill

Your drive takes you past Filopappos Hill, a site rich with stories of the philosopher Socrates. You will learn about the ancient prison and the significance of this park where locals gather to watch the sunset over the ruins.

Conclude your adventure near Acropolis Hill

Your tour finishes near the entrance of the Acropolis Hill. After three hours of effortless discovery, you will be perfectly positioned to begin a self-guided climb to the Parthenon or enjoy a meal in a nearby tavern.
