The top attractions to see on a private tour in Athens

Athens is a great city with a rich historyand much more to experience during your visit.

A customized private tour in Athens is ideal for friends, families, and couples.

There are well-known tourist attractions, neighborhoods, landmarks, and sights. A private tour will satisfy your curiosity and interest with the most fascinating city sights. A customized private tour is the perfect way to enjoy your visit to Athens.

The tour starts from central Athens’ broad boulevards and the city’s major attractions, the Presidential House, the House of Parliament, and Zapeion Hall.

A tour usually starts from Syntagma Square, the heart of Athens. There, you see the Parliament Building and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, guarded by Evzones (national guards), and every hour there is a changing of the guard.

Then heading towards Omonia Square, we go past the Numismatic Museum, the Catholic Cathedral, and the neoclassical buildings of the Academy, University, and the National Library.

Varvakeios Central Market is a meat and fish market.  However,  you can find everything your heart desires and relishes and buy authentic Greek delicacies. It is a bustling place with a lively atmosphere, where all your senses of taste and smell come alive, worth visiting, even if you won’t buy anything.

Plaka is the Old City of Athens

If you are in Athens, you should definitely visit Plaka with an authentic atmosphere and colorful ambiance.  Wander in the narrow alleys, with souvenir shops and tavernas.

 Anafiótika is a less popular tourist attraction near Plaka, at the foot of Acropolis Hill. This is a quiet neighborhood, with whitewashed houses and colorful gardens, just like the ones you see on the Greek islands. Amazingly, it is still a residential area.

 A Visit to the Acropolis offers more than you expect

The Acropolis is a must-visit. On the hilltop, you find many sites, but the most famous is the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena. The Temple of Erechtheion and the Nike Temple are also on the Acropolis. From the top you get a panoramic view of the whole city and some of its main monuments, the dome of the Astronomy Observatory and Filopapos Hill.

The Acropolis Museum

Your visit to the Acropolis is incomplete without visiting the New Acropolis Museum. It exhibits valuable finds excavated at the Acropolis, as well as archaeological remains of the buildings and the temples on the Acropolis. Through its transparent floors, you can admire some of the remains that surfaced during its construction. 

The Ancient Agora is near the Acropolis.  It was a gathering place for philosophers, people, and political figures of antiquity. The Temple of Hephaistos and Attalus Stoa, where the Museum of the Ancient Agora is housed. We continue our private tour to two famous monuments: The Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Hadrian Arch (The Hadrian Gate), as the Greeks refer to it, before we reach the Panathenaic Stadium, also known as Kalimarmaro built in 1896, where the first modern Olympic Games took place.   Now, it is a venue for various sports events, the Marathon, the opening and closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, and various cultural events.

 

Passing through a posh residential area with plenty of embassies and museums like the War Museum,  the National Gallery, and the Concert Hall, we reach Lycabettus Hill for a panoramic view of Athens from its slopes.

There, you will have the chance to view the entire city stretching from the Port of Piraeus and Saronic Gulf to northern Athens and have a recollection of the city to cherish back home.
