| Athens
& the Acropolis |
 From the port of Piraeus,
take a short drive to Athens, the cradle of the European
civilisation.
For twenty-five centuries, the panorama of this
city has been dominated by the rock of the Acropolis. Your first view upon arrival in Athens will be that of
Hadrian’s Arch (2nd Century AD) which divided the
Greek city from Hadrian’s new Roman city, Olympieion (the
Temple of Olympian Zeus) from the 6th Century BC, one
of the largest Corinthian style temples in Greek history.
Continue your drive in order to arrive at the Acropolis.
Follow your guide as you walk uphill to visit this
magnificent monument where you will see the principal buildings:
the Propylaia, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion and
the Parthenon. Afterwards,
return to your motorcoach and via Syngrou Avenue, make your way
back to Piraeus and
the ship.
