The Highlight of Our Trip! Our driver, George, truly made our visit to Athens unforgettable. He shared fascinating facts about the city and took us to some of its most beautiful areas, including hidden gems we would have never found on our own. He also recommended some fantastic restaurants that we absolutely loved. At his suggestion, we ended our tour in Sounio, where we witnessed a breathtaking sunset overlooking the Temple of Poseidon — a magical experience. We totally recommend this tour!

Continue with a stroll along Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, a beautiful pedestrian walkway next to the south slope of the Acropolis. Along the way, you can admire the Theatre of Dionysus and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, both steeped in centuries of history and culture.
Next, head toward the heart of the city around
2Constitution Square (Syntagma Square), the central meeting point for locals and visitors. If you are lucky, you may witness the
3Change of Guards ceremony — one of the most iconic traditions of modern Athens. No visit is complete without stopping at
5Panathenaic Stadium (the Panathenaic Stadium), also known as Kallimarmaro, the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble.
Your driver will then take you to
6Lycabettus Hill, Lycabettus Hill, the highest point in Athens. Surrounded by pine trees and offering panoramic views stretching all the way to Piraeus, this is the perfect spot for unforgettable photos and a moment of relaxation.

The final highlight of your day is the majestic
7Cape Sounion, the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. Perched dramatically on a clifftop surrounded by the Aegean Sea on three sides, this ancient sanctuary was a sacred place for sailors and remains one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in Greece. Explore the archaeological site and enjoy sweeping views of the Aegean and nearby islands. If timed right, the sunset here is truly unforgettable.
After your visit, relax on the coastal drive back to Athens as your Welcome Driver returns you to your accommodation.

Today we took the tour “Athens and Cape Sounion” and absolutely loved it. It's actually our last day here, and we already went all around Athens - we wanted to spend our last day with a local who gave us a little more perspective about the Greek history, and that's exactly what we got. After sending one email, we got a very clear email confirming availability. Our amazing tour guide arrived at the hotel even before he promised and then we had a great drive down to Sounion. Barely noticed the time spent in the car as we heard beautiful stories and historical facts by our tour guide, including a few important spots that are must sees. Once we got to beautiful Sounion, we were taken to the best spots. We can confidently say that we made the best out of our day!!
