Tour Price : on request Duration : 8 hours Languages: English, Spanish, Italian

This guided tour in Athens is an extended version of the first one, and you will be able to see not only the highlights of Athens, but several other places of interest. We will start from the legendary Parthenon, which is considered to be the 7th world wonder. It was built thousands of years ago (in the 5th century BC), but it still stands at the Acropolis.

We will proceed to the St. George Lycabettus. It is said to be the highest place in the city. You will enjoy a breath-taking view of the Athens from this point. Make sure you have your camera with you, because the view is incomparable. Not far from this hill you will notice a lovely small chapel of St. George, which was built in the 19th century. During the private tour of Athens we will also visit the Panathenaic Stadium. It is the legendary stadium where the first modern Olympic Games took place. We will also see the changing of the presidential garrison.

According to the tradition the guards will walk to Syntagma Square, till the Monument of the Unknown Soldier. This monument is dedicated to all the soldiers who died in various wars that Greece took part in. As a professional private guide in Athens, I would definitely advice you to take a look at the Temple of Zeus. Your impressions of Athens would be incomplete without visiting Plaka - the oldest neighborhood in the capital of Greece.
