Athens city tour and Acropolis visit

-What you can expect-
This trip ticks off a wealth of Greek treasures old and new, all in one day. You'll marvel at a feat of extraordinary engineering at the Corinth Canal, take a scenic bus tour of the standout spots in modern Athens and then step back in time to see star sights like the Temple of Athena and Parthenon at the Acropolis.

Your trip through time begins at the steep-walls of the Corinth Canal. It was built at great cost and sacrifice in the 19th century, finally finishing a project begun by the Roman Emperor Nero almost 1800 years before.

Continue on a route steeped in history with a scenic bus tour of central Athens and you'll take in cultural gems like the Greek Parliament, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Syntagma Square, and the Olympic Stadium. After free time for lunch and a chance to explore, we round off with a guided tour of the ancient Acropolis – Greece's most prized historical gem.
