Our representative will wait for you in the hotel to welcome you and brief you about your trip. Check in and enjoy free time for relaxation or a stroll through the capital of Greece.
DAY 2
Panoramic sightseeing in athens - group tour
On day 2 of the essential Greece trip package, you will travel through time between the “old” and the “new” Athens. You will marvel at the magnificent ancient ruins of the past and explore the modern architecture of the city. You will have the chance to visit the Acropolis, an exquisite landmark of Athens, exhibiting its glorious history along with the Parthenon, the Propylea, the temple of Athena, Nike, and the Erechtheion. Other equally impressive and historic sites are the Roman Temple of Olympic Zeus and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which is housed with the Parliament House in Syntagma (Constitution) Square.
Do not miss the chance to visit the Panathinaiko Stadium (Kallimarmaro), where the first Olympic Games were held in 1896. In Syntagma Square, as well as downtown, you can marvel at state buildings and neoclassical structures of the 19th century like the Catholic Cathedral, the Academy of Athens, and the national library. Last but not least, do not leave Athens without visiting one of the most exceptional contemporary museums worldwide: the New Acropolis Museum, which fully displays the magnitude and glory of Athens and its architectural and cultural style.
