Athens Highlights in One Day
Athens mixes ancient history with a lively modern city and the coastline of the Athenian Riviera. Start with our Athens sightseeing Acropolis city tour, then visit the Acropolis, the Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum on our private Acropolis tour. Add the Ancient Agora, Kerameikos and the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and finish with the Changing of the Guard at Syntagma. In one day you can see most of the city without ever waiting for a bus.
