You will also get to admire the most imposing monument which is the Parthenon, as well as the Temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheum with the famous Caryatids.
Next on the programme is a visit to Syntagma Square which is the central square of Athens, named after the Constitution that the first King of Greece Otto was obliged to grant. The Hellenic Parliament which is housed in the Old Royal Palace overlooks the Syntagma Square.

Walking down Lycabettus Hill, we will make our way towards the Panathenaic Stadium where the first Modern Olympic Games were held in 1896. Near the stadium you will see the Temple of Olympian Zeus which was the biggest temple in Greece during the Hellenic and Roman period.
Our journey will end in Plaka, where you can enjoy a nice walk in the most picturesque neighbourhood of Athens, situated at the foot of the Acropolis.
There is no better way to end a perfect day than with a lunch in a traditional Greek restaurant by the sea in the city of Piraeus, the biggest port in the country.
