Itinenary

Athens By Night

Athens is transformed in the evening. The monuments are golden against the skyline and the Athenians come out to play in the cool night air. Enjoy a brief drive of the city before being taken to a Greek traditional tavern for dinner as pre-discussed by yourself and your driver. Your evening will start with a ride to the port of Piraeus, passing by the port of Zeas (private yachts) and a short stop to the famous Mikrolimano, then Acropolis and the Parthenon by Night, the Temple of Zeus, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the former Royal Palace which is now the Greek House of Parliament, the Trilogy of culture ( University of Athens, the Academy of Athens, and the National Library) then you will see the Panathenian, where the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896 and you will continue on to Lycabettus hill (Saint George) that is Athens highest hill, offering a superb panoramic view of the all city!

After you can finish your night by having a dinner either in a traditional Greek Taverna at Placa with live Greek music and Greek folklore dances or at Piraeus port, spectacular Microlimano, next to the sea!
