Best of Athens

Welcome to Greece! Our guide will meet you at Athens International Airport on time, then send you to the hotel for check in. In the rest of the day, you could either stroll around on your own or have a good rest in the hotel room.

Accommodation: Athena Pallas or similar

In the morning, the guide will accompany you to the Acropolis to visit the Parthenon and Erechteum, and then walk to Mars' Hill (or Areopagus) where you can enjoy the magnificent views of Athens from the top. After lunch, we will come to the Monument of the Unknown Soldier. Every hour, the soldiers on guard here will take shifts, which attracts tourists from all over the world. To the north of the monument is Parliament House, which was once the palace of Otto, the first king of Greece. Parliament House is not open to the public, so we can't go inside, but only see the beautiful building from the outside. Finally, we are going to visit the Temple of The Olympian Zeus and the National Library. These spectacular buildings are sure to take your breath away. At the end of the day, send you back to the hotel.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Today's trip will be extended to Corinth. In the morning, the guide will pick you up from your hotel and then drive about 1.5 hours. On the way we will pass by the famous Corinthian Canal, which separates the Peloponnese from mainland Greece. After arriving at our destination, we will first visit the Agora, a rectangular building measuring 160 meters long and 70 meters wide and containing a central shop, a small temple and an altar where the apostle Paul once addressed to the crowd. Next, we will go to visit the Temple of Apollo, where you can see the oldest Corinthian column ever found. The architectural style of these columns is a bold blend of early Greek and Doric style. After that, we plan to visit the Roman Odeon, the Archaeological Museum and Acrocorinth. Acrocorinth was the acropolis of the city of Corinth in ancient times, and there was only one huge stone which was used to supervise the ancient city of Corinth. Acrocorinth is one of the most spectacular and major acropoleis on the Peloponnese. After today's visit, we will return to Athens.
