We begin our program with a panoramic tour of Athens’ city center, often called the neoclassical heart of the city. Along the grand avenues of Panepistimiou, Stadiou, Queen Sofia, and Amalias, you’ll admire elegant neoclassical buildings from the early 20th century that represent the finest examples of this architectural style.

Our tour continues to Syntagma (Constitution) Square, home to the Hellenic Parliament and the Monument to the Unknown Soldier.

Entering through the Propylaea, the monumental gateway, we’ll explore the complex of iconic temples, including the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Portico of the Caryatids. Most of these masterpieces were rebuilt under Pericles during Athens’ Golden Age (460–430 BC), with the renowned sculptor Phidias and architects Ictinus and Callicrates playing key roles in their creation.

Next, we visit the New Acropolis Museum, a striking work of modern architecture designed to harmonize with the ancient monuments. Inside, you’ll discover treasures unearthed from nearby excavations, offering deep insights into Athens’ classical heritage.

Leaving the city, enjoy a scenic drive along the Athenian Riviera, passing picturesque coastal suburbs and sweeping sea views. A short photo stop at Cape Sounio provides the chance to admire the Temple of Poseidon and take in the breathtaking vistas of the Aegean Sea.
