Propylaea
The Propylaea of the Athenian Acropolis was built on the west side of the hill, where the gate of the Mycenaean fortification once stood. The first propylon, or gate, was constructed in the age of Peisistratos (mid-sixth century BC), after the Acropolis had become a sanctuary dedicated to Athena. A new propylon, built-in 510-480 BC, was destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC and repaired after the end of the Persian Wars, during the fortification of the Acropolis by Themistokles and Kimon. The monumental Propylaia admired by modern visitors was part of the great Periclean building program. They have erected in 437-432 BC, after the completion of the Parthenon, by architect Mnesikles. The original building plan was particularly daring both in architectural and artistic terms but was never completed. The pie-shaped building of Pentelic marble frames beautifully the entrance to the sacred precinct. The central section, the propylon proper, had an outer (west) and inner (east) facade...

Temple of Athena Nike
The temple of Athena Nike stands at the southeast edge of the sacred rock atop a bastion, which in Mycenaean times protected the entrance to the Acropolis. The Classical temple, designed by architect Kallikrates and built-in 426-421 BC, succeeded earlier temples also dedicated to Athena Nike. The first one of these, a mid-sixth century BC wooden temple was destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC. The eschara, the altar believed to have supported the cult statue of the goddess, dates to this period. Under Kimon, c. 468 BC, a small temple of tufa was erected around the base of the statue and a new altar was built outside the temple. The foundations of these early temples and altars are preserved inside the bastion under the floor of the Classical structure. Pausanias (1, 22, 4) refers to this temple as that of the Apteros Nike, or Wingless Victory, and mentions that the cult statue of the goddess had no wings so that she would never leave Athens. Apart from the cult of Athena Nike other...

Parthenon
The Parthenon, dedicated by the Athenians to Athena Parthenos, the patron of their city, is the most magnificent creation of Athenian democracy at the height of its power. It is also the finest monument on the Acropolis in terms of both conception and execution. Built between 447 and 438 BC, as part of the greater Periklean building project, this so-called Periklean Parthenon (Parthenon III) replaced an earlier marble temple (Parthenon II), begun after the victory at the battle of Marathon at approximately 490 BC and destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC. This temple replaced the very first Parthenon (Parthenon I) of c. 570 BC from Periklis . The Parthenon was designed by architects Iktinos and Kallikrates, while the sculptor Pheidias supervised the entire building program and conceived the temple's sculptural decoration and a chryselephantine statue of Athena. The Parthenon is a double peripteral Doric temple with several unique and innovative architectural features.

Erectheion
The elegant building known as the Erechtheion, on the north side of the sacred rock of the Acropolis, was erected in 421-406 BC as a replacement of an earlier temple dedicated to Athena Polias, the so-called "Old temple". The name Erechtheion, mentioned only by Pausanias (1, 26, 5), derives from Erechtheus, the mythical king of Athens, who was worshipped there. The sanctuary also contained the grave of Kekrops and the traces of the dispute between Athena and Poseidon for the possession of the city of Athens. Another door on the south facade of the western temple opened onto the porch of the Karyatides, a pi-shaped structure with six female statues instead of columns to support the roof. Created by Alkamemes or Kallimachos, the statues were later named Karyatides after the young women from Karyes of Laconia who danced in honor of the goddess Artemis. Five of them are in the Acropolis Museum and another in the British Museum; those on the building are casts.

The history of the impressive building of the Hellenic Parliament is intimately linked to the history of the Modern Greek state. Initially, the building served as the palace of Kings Otto and George I. It became the Parliament and Senate building a hundred years after it was constructed and still houses the Hellenic Parliament today. Through all those years, the building has undergone a series of changes and has been modernized. From 1836 to 1862; After the selection of Otto, Prince of Bavaria, as King of Greece, and the relocation of the Greek capital to Athens, it was decided to erect the palace on Boubounistra Hill. It proved an inspired choice. The chosen location was in the center of the new capital, easily defendable and cool. On February 6th, 1836 the founding stone was laid at the highest eastern point of the city. The ancient quarry of Pentele was the source of marble. King and queen Otto, and Amalia, took up residence on July 25th, 1843.

The National Historical Museum is permanently housed in the Old Parliament Building at Stadiou Street (Kolokotronis square). The Museum narrates the history of Modern Greece: the period of Ottoman and Latin rule, the Greek War of Independence (1821), the liberation struggles, the creation of an independent state, the political, social, and spiritual development of the Greeks up to the present day. The Old Parliament House is directly connected with Greek history: it was the first permanent base of the Greek National Assembly. The Old Parliament was founded in 1858 by Queen Amalia, upon a design by French architect François Boulanger, in order to house the Parliament and Senate. For 60 years the building on Stadiou Street housed the country’s turbulent political life. In 1935, Parliament moved to the Former Palace on Syntagma Square, where it is still housed today. Today, the Old Parliament is an architectural jewel in the center of Athens.

It is located in front of the 19th century Old Royal Palace, housing the Greek Parliament since 1934. With the Greek Parliament building and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier looming over it, it is rich with history and is the place where most major events of the last two centuries have taken place. Its name in Greek means “Constitution Square,” a name granted by Greece’s first modern royal, King Otto, on September 3, 1843, after an uprising of the people.

Ancient Agora of Athens
The ancient Agora of Athens is the best-known example of an ancient Greek agora, located to the northwest of the Acropolis and bounded on the south by the hill of the Areopagus and on the west by the hill known as the Agoraios Kolonos, also called Market Hill. The word "agora" applies to an assembly of people and by extension marks the gathering place. In modern Greek, the term means "marketplace". Just about every ancient and modern city includes a place for an agora, and the Agora of Athens is located at the heart of the city, remaining in use either as an assembly, as a commercial, or as a residential area for about 5000 years. Consequently, the area has undergone countless building, destruction, and rebuilding cycles. Today these strata of history have been distilled through excavations to expose the Agora's important functions from Archaic to Greco-Roman and Byzantine times.

The new Acropolis Museum was constructed on the south side of the Acropolis at a distance of 300 meters from its monuments. The Museum’s foundations were completed on the 30th of January 2004 and its opening took place on the 20th of June 2009.

Plaka
In the shadow of the Acropolis and its ancient temples, hillside Plaka has a village feel, with narrow cobblestone streets lined with tiny shops selling jewelry, clothes, and local ceramics.

Visiting the Plaka district in Athens is an experience that stays with travelers for a lifetime. With its colorful neoclassic buildings and ruins waiting to be discovered around every corner, there is so much to be discovered in Plaka.

The hill is one of the largest green areas in central Athens, located close to the Kolonaki and Exarchia areas. Many Athenians come here for a stroll and go to the top to enjoy the city from above. Lycabettus hill is accessible on foot, by funicular railway, and by car. Thousands of tourists visit every year to climb to the top, see the small chapel of Saint George, and enjoy the cityscape from above. Today Lycabettus hill is a fantastic place to go if you want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The peace and quiet are so different from Kolonaki and Exarchia areas right below and the crowded market streets of Monastiraki and Psiri. Sunset is a popular time to visit, and you can take some of the best photos of Athens from above.

Memorable Athens
We had a wonderful experience with Athens Tours Greece during our three days in Athens. From our very first enquiry to the final day, everything was smooth, well-organised, and handled with a high level of professionalism. The vehicle provided was excellent—new, clean, comfortable, and especially appreciated on our first and third days. Our driver was friendly, patient, and professional, and made our sightseeing even more enjoyable by sharing useful and interesting information about the places we visited. We truly appreciated the excellent service and attention to detail throughout our trip. We would strongly recommend Athens Tours Greece to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and comfortable way to explore Athens. Thank you for making our time in Athens such a pleasant and memorable experience!
Response from the operator: Dear Trip1673, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience with us!

Great for Cruise Ship Stop.
We arrived on a cruise ship so we limited on time. This was the only way we could have seen all that we did. Our trip leader was fantastic.

What's Better Than Seeing Athens? Seeing it with a Private Driver
After disembarking in Piraeus after a one week cruise, we wanted to see Athens without the hassle of riding in a bus waiting for tour participants to arrive, sit down, get out, and repeat at each stop all while barely seeing anything. With this in mind, I decided to book a private tour with Athens Tours Greece which turned out to be an excellent idea. Sure it costs more than a traditional tour, but there were no regrets of , "I wish I could have seen this or that." We met up with our awesome driver Spyros at the port. After loading up our luggage, he drove along the coast line and told us about all of the sites and stopping at places for photos. Once arriving in Athens, he took us to the major sites and for those we wanted to spend more time seeing, he provided us with his number so we could text him when we were ready to move to the next location. Unlike large group tours, we were able to see things at our own pace spending more time at those attractions which we were more interested in and not having to wait on stragglers. It was a wonderful, informative and relaxing way to see Athens.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr Tylor, Good evening from Athens! Thank you so much for your kind review! Firstly, we are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful time during your private tour with our driver, Spyros. We will, of course, share your kind words with him, and he will be very pleased to receive your positive feedback. We would be delighted to welcome you again and assist you with your future trips in Greece. Thank you in advance! Athens Tours Greece Team

Trip of a lifetime!
This was our first time traveling abroad and I cannot say enough about how amazing this tour was! Our driver,Alex, was so knowledgeable about all things on the tour. He truly made the experience above and beyond. Every place we went we were there before the mass tour buses came so we could experience the places with minimal crowds. He tailored or day to our schedule, meaning we saw everything that was planned but he did not rush our time in any place. I highly recommended using this company for your trip, and we will 100% use them again!
Response from the operator: Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to write your experience with us. We are really happy that you had such a beautiful time during your tour and that Alex was so helpful and informative for the places and the sites you were visiting and assist you accordingly with everything! We remain at your disposal and we are looking forward to assist you again in the future for another request. Kind regards,

Absolutely Great Experience
Michael was an excellent tour guide. We were on a cruise ship and booked the tour through Viator. We took the 7 hour tour and saw all the main attractions, even some non-tourist spots that were great. There were 3 couples in our party, all family members and we absolutely loved the Greek food at a local restaurant, 5F, where we stopped for lunch. Michael was informative and fun. We all highly recommend him and the company. His promptness on our pickup time and return time were much appreciated.
Response from the operator: Dear Sir/ Madam, Thank you for taking the time and you shared your experience and your thoughts during your tour with us. Please note that we are really happy that you had such an amazing time and that Michael was so helpful and informative. We remain at your disposal for any further assistance and we are looking forward to seeing you again in the future for another request. Best regards,

The Best of Athens Full Day Private tour-Lunch & Tickets included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.

How long does The Best of Athens Full Day Private tour-Lunch & Tickets included take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is The Best of Athens Full Day Private tour-Lunch & Tickets included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 70 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Best of Athens Full Day Private tour-Lunch & Tickets included?

Is The Best of Athens Full Day Private tour-Lunch & Tickets included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Best of Athens Full Day Private tour-Lunch & Tickets included?
+
Around 25 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Best of Athens Full Day Private tour-Lunch & Tickets included start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
