This mini tour of Athens takes us to the most famous sites of the city, both ancient and modern. We will see the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of the Parliament. Their uniform was introduced by King Otto of Greece and was inspired by the traditional clothes of the mountain warriors and bandits who formed the resistance to the Ottoman Empire.
We will also see the famous “trilogy” of buildings designed by the Danish architects Theophil and Christian Hansen: the Academy of Athens, the University of Athens, and the National Library. In grand neoclassical style, they represent the ambitions of the early Greek state.
Along with these more modern landmarks, we also see the stadium where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896.
We visit the monument known as Hadrian’s Arch, a distinctive Roman structure dedicated to Theseus and Hadrian, the founders of Athens.
Finally, we view of the Acropolis and the whole city atop Lycabettus Hill.

We had such a wonderful tour with Terry. He was a terrific driver and guide, taking us all around Athens showing us not only the well-known places, but also some hidden gems along the way that we definitely would not have seen without Terry's guidance. He asked my children (11 & 13.5) about their interests and took us somewhere the tour doesn't usually go, to accomodate their interests. It was such a great introduction to Athens. We would not hesistate to book CAT Taxi again for any touring or transport needs.

I recommend Terry and his colleagues 1000%!! We met Terry 4 years ago and this summer we came back to Athens for a day before venturing out to the Greek islands. Terry felt like a member of our family and took care of us as if we are friends. We only had a day so wanted to cram as much in as possible and Terry made sure of it ! Terry even remembered which stores we went to 4 years ago to buy sandals and brought us to the same store this time so we can stock up on some high quality Greek merchandise. Highly recommend. See you again hopefully Terry!
