DISCOVER THE TOURS BY CATEGORY

With a history that goes back over 3,000 years, Athens is literally an open-air museum offering visitors a plethora of unique sights. The Acropolis and the Parthenon —the ultimate symbol of the ancient Greek civilization— the Acropolis Museum, the Panathenaic Stadium and the Temple of Poseidon are but a few of them. Participating in tours in Athens is the best way to soak up as much information and as many monuments as you can during your stay.

CLASSICAL ATHENS

Skip-the-line tours to the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum (or both) are a favorite when it comes to experiencing the historical legacy of Classical Athens. These tours allow you to skip the long lines of tourists with a pre-booked admission ticket at the date and time of your convenience, and come with an optional audio guide that you can download to immerse yourself in the fascinating history of ancient Athens.

If you would rather visit the sights with a licensed and informative tour guide, you will also find plenty of options. Check out the Sightseeing tour including the Acropolis Museum, which will take you through some of the most awe-inspiring sights, such as the Panathenaic Stadium, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian’s Arch and Syntagma Square, where you can witness the changing of the guard!

Tours to Cape Sounion, which will drive you through the Athenian Riviera and show you the imposing Temple of Poseidon, are also available. Moreover, don’t miss the chance to witness the splendor of Athens by night, taking memorable pictures of the illuminated Parthenon and strolling through the picturesque alleyways of Plaka, where you can enjoy a delicious dinner to the sound of Greek folk songs!

BOAT TOURS TO THE SARONIC ISLANDS

Discover the charm of the Saronic Islands via a private boat tour from Athens! Located just a short distance away from the Greek capital, these enchanting destinations never fail to captivate visitors with their picturesque ports, unspoiled landscapes and mesmerizing beaches! To see the very best of as many islands as possible in a single day, you can go on a full-day cruise to Hydra, Poros and Aegina or embark on a unique yacht trip combining Aegina with the heavenly Agistri and Moni islets! Alternatively, you can go on relaxing day trips that focus on just one of the Saronic Islands.

SIGHTSEEING TOURS AROUND THE COUNTRY

Located in Central Greece, Athens boasts an advantageous geographical position that makes it ideal for unlocking stunning sites all over the country! Depending on how much time you have, you can choose between one-day or multi-day trips giving you a taste of extraordinary sites around southern or northern Greece.

Day tours in the Peloponnese will take you to the absolute musts: the enchanting seaside town of Nafplion and the Archaeological Site of Mycenae, the kingdom of the legendary Agamemnon. If you have enough time at your disposal, though, opt for the longer ones, as they additionally comprise Olympia —the birthplace of the Olympic Games— and the majestic Ancient Theater of Epidaurus, with its astounding acoustics!

The monumental Delphi in Central Greece is another excellent day-tour option when starting from Athens, as you can visit the renowned oracle in the Temple of Apollo and the mountainous village of Arachova. To combine sightseeing with some of the most striking natural landscapes you are ever likely to see, you can also consider a tour to Meteora, where you’re in for monasteries perched atop dramatic rocks.

For the most comprehensive insight into the country’s cultural and natural beauties, don’t miss the Grand Cultural Tour, which includes the very best of mainland Greece: not only Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi and Meteora, but also the historic Thessaloniki, the mesmerizing Edessa with its spectacular waterfalls and the town of Vergina, the ancient capital of the kingdom of Macedon, where you can see mind-blowing findings and walk in the footsteps of Alexander the Great!

FOOD TASTING

Happiness goes through the stomach, so going on a private food-tasting tour with your friends and loved ones is one of the best things to do during your stay. Embark on an unforgettable gastronomic journey and visit pastry shops, bakeries, cheese and spice shops, as well as street food corners and taverns where you can savor mouthwatering traditional mezes.

A cooking class is another great idea, as it will enrich your culinary horizons with recipes that can help you keep the memories of your trip alive in the years to come!
