Step back 2,500 years with a visit to the Acropolis, ancient Greece's most magnificent architectural wonder. A panoramic drive from the port brings you into the heart of Athens, offering stunning views of the city's historic landmarks and vibrant streets. Upon arrival, embark on a guided exploration of the world-renowned Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Climb up 80 steps and witness the breathtaking Parthenon and the Erechtheion Caryatids, six female statues that serve as columns. A walk to Plaka, Athen's charming old quarter, offers free time to walk its narrow streets, shop and stop in a local taverna for a delightful selection of Greek mezes. Refreshed, you'll visit the Agora, Athens's once bustling political and administrative heart followed by a stop at Stoa of Attalos, a reconstructed building that offers a look at life in ancient Athens with a collection of everyday objects that were unearthed during excavations.
