This jam-packed sightseeing tour of Athens will cover all the best bits in one day. Your feet will barely touch the ground as you're swept through the heights of the Acropolis overlooking the city, then it's down into the neighbourhoods of Plaka and Monastiraki.
You'll begin your morning by delving into the past at the UNESCO-listed Acropolis. A guided visit will show you highlights, including the Parthenon – visible from all over the city – before the tour continues through the centre of Athens. You'll swing by the colossal Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Arch of Hadrian before stopping for a photo at the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first ever Olympic Games were held.
A short drive away will be the Parliament and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to catch the Changing of the Guard. Finally, you'll have free time to wander the narrow lanes of the trendy Plaka and Monastiraki neighbourhoods.
