Our professional guides will take you to the center of the city, the Constitution Square - Syntagma, the House of Parliament, the Memorial to the Unknown Soldier. The National Library, the University, and the Bank of Greece are some of the contemporary and historical monuments you will pass by during your panoramic tour with our luxury air-conditioned car / minibus (transportation according to the number of persons of your party or according your request). Driving down Herod Atticus Street, you will see the Evzones in their traditional uniform and the Presidential Palace. On your way to the Acropolis you will see the Hadrian’s Arch, visit the Temple of Olympian Zeus and you will make a short stop at the Panathenaic Stadium where the first Olympic Games of the modern era were held in 1896. Finally, you will climb up the "Holly Rock" of Acropolis in order to visit the Parthenon, the Herodus Atticus Odeon, the Propylaia, the Temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion. At the Museum of Acropolis you will see some of the major architectural masterpieces of the Golden Age of Athens.

Afterward, leave Athens for a wonderful drive along the scenic coastal road which affords a splendid view of the Saronic Gulf passing through some of Athens' most beautiful suburbs (Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Varzika) to Cape Sounion where you will visit the 5th century B.C. temple of Poseidon with one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the world and on a clear day you can see at least seven islands.

The Meteora tour will start with a short visit at Corinth Canal and the Theatre of Epidauros, famous for its remarkable acoustics. There will be a short stop at the town of Nauplion, a seaport town and the first capital of Greece before driving on to Mycenae where you will visit the Archeological Site and Tomb of Agamemnon.

Journey through Central Peloponnese and the towns of Tripolis which was once a commercial center and Megalopolis, famous for its theater. The first day will end at Olympia, where you will spend the night.

We will also visit the Archaeological Site with the Sanctuary of Zeus, the Ancient Stadium and the Archaelogical Museum. A drive through the plains of Eliad and Achaia will show you the magnificent bridge crossing the Corinthian Bay from the Rion to Antirion. You will pass by the towns of Nafpactos and Itea as you make your way to Delphi.

There will also be a visit to the Archaeological Site and Museum in Delphi and head on to Kalambaka, a small town at the foot of the rock towers of Meteora, which you will visit during the fourth day of your trip.
