Acropolis, Athens, Greece The greatest and finest sanctuary of ancient Athens, dedicated primarily to its patron, the goddess Athena, dominates the centre of the modern city from the rocky crag known as the Acropolis. The most celebrated myths of ancient Athens, its greatest religious festivals, earliest cults and several decisive events in the city's history are all connected to this sacred precinct. The monuments of the Acropolis stand in harmony with their natural setting. These unique masterpieces of ancient architecture combine different orders and styles of Classical art in a most innovative manner and have influenced art and culture for many centuries. The Acropolis of the fifth century BC is the most accurate reflection of the splendour, power and wealth of Athens at its greatest peak, the golden age of Perikles. 120 minutes
Hellenic Parliament, Athens, Greece Officially known as Hellenic Parliament or Vouli ton Ellinon, The Greek parliament building, which overlooks Syntagma Square, is a reminder of where the modern Greek state began. Every major political and official event has occurred in front of this important landmark since it was built in 1843, including the famous public revolt which occurred in September that year, against King Otto’s absolute monarchy that finally saw the introduction of Athens’ first constitution.
Changing of the Greek Guards
Greek guards or “Evzones” are members of the Presidential Guard found outside the Hellenic Parliament. They have become synonymous with the city of Athens and were originally founded in 1868 as a regiment of the Greek army. It is a high honour for a soldier to be selected to join the Evzones.
They guard the grave of the Unknown Soldier that represents the common memory of all unknown soldiers killed at war. The changing of the Greek guards occurs every day at the top of the hour. 15 minutes

Excelente tour si tienes poco tiempo para ver Atenas. Lamphros y Cassandra fueron muy amables y se preocupaban mucho por hacer la experiencia maravillosa para nosotros, inclusive hicieron una rapida parada en Plaka a peticion de nosotros para unas pequeñas compras. Recomendaria 100% el tour!

What a great way to see Athens in a day! We were met exactly at 830 and were able to get in and out of the Acropolis before the tour buses. Having a luxury car take you right to all the great spots was such a time savings. Lampros was a gracious host for the day sharing stories and even a special lunch spot that we wouldn’t have ever found for local fresh fish. I already have recommended him to others! Thank you for making our day in Athens wonderful!
