Board the vehicle and begin with a panoramic drive around Syntagma Square, passing by the National Garden, Hadrian’s Arch, St. Paul’s Church, Parliament, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Catholic Cathedral, and Schliemann’s House. Continue past the Athens Trilogy, which includes the University of Athens, the Academy of Athens, and the National Library as your guide introduces you to the ancient and modern history of Athens.

Make your way to the iconic Acropolis, one of the world's most recognized ancient sites.
