Athens has been the heart of Greece since antiquity and still beats vibrant today. Our full day panoramic tour takes you to all the must see places of Athens in a 8 hours long private tour.

The tour continues with the visit to the Greek Parliament where we will stop to take pictures and see the Evzones (guards of the Unknown soldier) who stand in front of the House of Parliament, located above Syntagma Square. Next we will visit the Kallimarmaro stadium, also known as Panathenaic stadium, which is dedicated to the Olympic games and is all made of white marble. The drive through Athens continues as we pass by the Academy of Arts, the University of Athens and the National Library, all buildings of the Neoclassical ages, imitating famous Ancient Greek buildings’ architecture.
