Athens from Araxos

Drive towards Athens, the capital of Greece. On the way to Athens have a brief stop and chance for a photo stop over the famous Corinth Canal. Upon arrival in Athens, our expert guide will take you to see the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first Olympic Games of modern times were held in 1896 (short stop). Continue and pass by the Prime Minister’s residence (ex Royal Palace), the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Hadrian’s Arch, the Greek Parliament and the memo rial to the Unknown Soldier and so more. On the Acropolis visit the Architectural Masterpieces of the Golden Age of Athens: The Propylea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechteion and finally ‘the harmony between material and spirit’’, the monument that ‘puts order in the mind’’, Parthenon. Continue and visit the place where at last the statues found their home and admire the wonders of the classical era: THE NEW ACROPOLIS MUSEUM. Lunch and free time at Plaka, one of the most attractive districts of Athens, full of boutiques, souvenir and jewelry stores.
