About this ride
Discover Athens’ main historical sites and landmarks in just 2 hours with our Athens Highlights experience. The experience is completely customizable, so you can choose how long you wish to spend in each location as well as make extra stops if you like.
This tour can be booked separately or as an extension to your transfer. Your driver will show you around Athens before dropping you off at your accommodation or the airport.
Having picked you up, your English-speaking driver will share with you his local knowledge as well as personal recommendations in each area. Your driver will also suggest photo stops of important landmarks along the way, however, you may also choose where and for how long you wish to stop at each place.
Your driver will take you to the stops on your itinerary. These can include:
- The Panathenaic Stadium (sometimes referred to as the Old Olympic Stadium), the only stadium in the whole world built entirely out of marble.
- The Lycabettus Hill, the highest hilltop of modern Athens. Surrounded by pine trees and with a breathtaking panoramic view of the city, it is the perfect spot for a late lunch break or a quick snack before descending the hilltop.
