From Athens: Acropolis Highlights Tour & Private Boat Cruise｜Greece

Begin your tour with a visit to the Acropolis, the highlight of the tour. On the historical hill, look upon the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Temple of the Athena Nike, the monumental gateway (Propylaea), the Erechtheum, and of course the Parthenon, the main temple built for the virgin Goddess, Athena.

After the Acropolis, head towards the Temple of Zeus, the biggest temple in antiquity, devoted to the King of the Gods, by the way of Hadrian’s Arch. From there, visit the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896.

Next, drive alongside the National Garden and see the changing of the guard (Evzones) in front of the old palace, which is today Parliament House, above the central square of Athens. After that, drive to Panepistimiou Street, one of the most historical streets of Athens, to see numerous neoclassical buildings still standing and dating back to the late 19th century.

See the Architectural trilogy of Athens (The Academy – The University – The National Library). Then, moving into the historical center of the city, drive up the highest hill of Athens, Lycabettus Hill, where you’ll have the best panoramic view of the city, from the hill of Acropolis to the Aegean Sea.

After that, be driven to the marina so as to leave the rhythm of the city behind and indulge in a private 2-hour cruise to Hydroussa Island, a peaceful hidden gem along the Athenian Riviera celebrated for its emerald-clear waters and untouched scenery.

Your experience begins with private pickup from your Athens hotel and a smooth transfer to the marina, where your dedicated skipper welcomes you aboard your private vessel. As you glide across the Aegean, admire the scenic coastline before arriving at Hydroussa, an idyllic islet perfect for a refreshing sea escape.

Drop anchor in secluded bays and dive into crystalline waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Lounge on deck under the Mediterranean sun, savor the privacy of your own boat, and enjoy complimentary bottled water and light refreshments served on board.

Following two hours of pure relaxation at sea, cruise back to shore where your private driver will be waiting to return you comfortably to your hotel — a seamless and elegant island experience from beginning to end.
