The Athens half day tour begins with a panoramic drive around Syntagma square, passing by the National Garden, Hadrian’s Arch, St. Paul’s Church, The Parliament, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Catholic Cathedral and Schliemann’s House (Numismatic museum). You will then drive past the Athens Trilogy which includes the University of Athens, the Academy of Athens and the National Library. Your licensed guide will explain more of Athens’s history old and new as you look at these stately buildings. Continue for a photo stop at Panathinaiko Stadium where the first modern Olympic Games took place in 1896. It is the only stadium in the world built out of white marble. Proceed, passing by Zappeion and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Make your way to the archaeological site of Acropolis, a UNESCO world heritage monument and visit Propylea - the monumental entrance to the Acropolis which blends Doric and Ionic building principles, and the small temple of Athena Nike, which stands on a protruding mass of rock, protecting the gate to the citadel and of course the Parthenon, and the Erechtheion with its porch of Maidens.
