Private
eight hours tour from Piraeus
Port Athens
If your tour starts from the Port of Piraeus ( the port of
Athens) where your ship docks. Suggesting time to
start your private tour in Athens is 9:00 AM to
avoid the morning traffic.
While driving from Piraeus to Athens, you will have
a taste of the modern city and the way of life. Your
first stop is the Acropolis.
The entrance to the Acropolis was a monumental
gateway called the Propylaea. To the south of the
entrance is the tiny Temple of Athena Nike. A bronze
statue of Athena, sculpted by Phidias, originally
stood at its centre. At the centre of the Acropolis
is the Parthenon or Temple of Athena Parthenos
(Athena the Virgin). East of the entrance and north
of the Parthenon is the temple known as the
Erechtheum. South of the platform that forms the top
of the Acropolis there are also the remains of an
outdoor theatre called Theatre of Dionysus. A few
hundred meters away, there is the now partially
reconstructed Theatre of Herodes Atticus.
Most of the valuable ancient artifacts are situated
in the Acropolis Museum, which resides on the
south-east corner of the same rock. An operation to
move them for the 400 meters distance to the New
Acropolis Museum started on Sunday, 14 October 2007,
and continued for six weeks.
After finishing your visit to these
unique sites, your driving tour to the rest of
Athens begins, on which you will see the Syntagma,
Euzonous that are the traditional dressed
Presidential best soldiers that are not allowed to
speak or move until their swift is over. You will
also get to see the Greek Parliament and the Olympic
Stadium.
The last stop of your full day private tour is the
beautiful old city of Athens, today called Plaka
that shows to you how Athens was 100 years ago with
the traditional café’s, the famous Greek taverns &
restaurants, beautiful scenery to walk and get the
aroma of another era and also to shop or even have
lunch if you wish. A small city in the heart of the
city that nostalgia and history meet.
After we finish this wonderful and very interesting
private tour we will return back to your ship in
Piraeus or to your hotel.
Please note:
This is not wheelchair accessible. Acropolis
has many steps to walk up, and it will not
be very comfortable if you have walking
problem.
