Athens Best and Ancient Corinth Private Full Day

Pickup included

Itinerary

Corinth Canal
10 min

Depart from and drive along the coast line until we reach the Corinth Canal where we will make a brief stop. The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island. ls considered one of the great engineering accomplishments of Greece. The canal was dug through the Isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base. The canal was constructed from 1880 to 1893, however, it is something that shipowners and captains had dreamed about for some 2000 years before it became a reality.

Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
Admission not included120 min

Ancient Corinth was one of the most important cities of ancient Greece. It was this megalopolis where the Apostle Paul arrived, worked and established a prosperous church, and later on he wrote two of his epistles, which are now part of the New Testament. We will visit the ruins of the old city where St. Paul worked You will admire also the Temple of Apollo, that is one of the oldest temples in Greece dating back to the 6th century B.C.

Acropolis
Admission not included120 min

This shore excursion will take you to all the must-see sights of Athens. If you are visiting Athens for the first time, this tour provides an excellent introduction to one of the greatest cities of the ancient world. During your Acropolis visit (approx. 2 hrs) you will see: - Propylaea, - The Parthenon - Erechtheion - The Temple of Athena Nike, Looking down from the Acropolis you'll see the two ancient theaters in its shadow: - The Theater of Dionysus , the oldest Greek theater (built in the 5th century BC), - Odeon of Herod Atticus, erected in AD 161. The site hosts performances for the summer Athens Festival.

Temple of Olympian Zeus
Admission not included15 min

The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Olympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple at the center of the Greece capital Athens. It was dedicated to "Olympian" Zeus, a name originating from his position as head of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC during the rule of the Athenian tyrants, who envisaged building the greatest temple in the ancient world, but it was not completed until the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, some 638 years after the project had begun. During the Roman period the temple -that included 104 colossal columns- was renowned as the largest temple in Greece and housed one of the largest cult statues in the ancient world.

Panathenaic Stadium
Admission not included10 min

The Panathenaic Stadium or Kallimarmaro is a multi-purpose stadium in Athens, Greece. One of the main historic attractions of Athens,it is the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble. A stadium was built on the site of a simple racecourse by the Athenian statesman Lykourgos (Lycurgus) c. 330 BC, primarily for the Panathenaic Games.The stadium was excavated in 1869 and hosted the Zappas Olympics in 1870 and 1875. After being refurbished, it hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the first modern Olympics in 1896. It was used for various purposes in the 20th century and was once again used as an Olympic venue in 2004. It is the finishing point for the annual Athens Classic Marathon.It is also the last venue in Greece from where the Olympic flame handover ceremony to the host nation takes place.

Changing of the Guard Ceremony
10 min

One of the most unique experiences is the changing of the guards in Athens. The presidential guards or Evzones, guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Hellenic Parliament building around the clock, through the coldest winter night or hottest summer day. Evzones are an elite unit of the Greek army and it is a very high honour for a Greek guard to be selected as an Evzone

Mount Lycabettus
10 min

Lycabettus hill also known as Lycabettos, Lykabettos or Lykavittos is a Cretaceous limestone hill in Athens, Greece at 300 meters (908 feet) above sea level. Pine trees cover its base, and at its two peaks are the 19th century Chapel of St. George, a theatre, and a restaurant.

Arch of Hadrian
5 min

The Arch of Hadrian, most commonly known in Greek as Hadrian's Gate, is a monumental gateway resembling – in some respects – a Roman triumphal arch. It has been proposed that the arch was built to celebrate the adventus (arrival) of the Roman Emperor Hadrian and to honor him for his many benefactions to the city. There were two inscriptions on the arch, facing in opposite directions, naming both Theseus and Hadrian as founders of Athens.

Exceptional Athens and Corinth visits

My wife and I toured the Parthenon and Corinth. Both tour drivers and guides went above and beyond to make our visits memorable. Manos spent the day with us driving us to Corinth and showing us various locations along theway. He was exceptional.

Don’t Book With Anyone Else!

We decided to host a large guided tour for a post wedding activity. Our tour guides were without a doubt the best we’ve ever had. The tour was two months ago and our family is still talking about how great of a time we had, I can’t recommend this team enough!

Athens Limo is the Best

I have know and used Dennis and his company Athens Limo Tours for 20 years and hands down the best limo and transfer company in Athens, Greece. Full fleet of limos, vans and mini buses. Competitive transfers from the airport to anywhere around Athens. Did did a city site tour which was great and day trip to Napfalo and Porta Cheli. Both trips were fantastic and the drivers speak great English, and are fun and engaging. Cannot recommend Athens Limo enough. Dennis we will see you next year. Alex VlC

Perfect private driver for Athens

This is a great service. They replied to all my emails in detail promptly. The driver was very nice and met us at the cruise port. The car was clean and comfortable, and the tour guide we had for the Acropolis was wonderful. Highly recommended! Thank you

Incredible service

It’s my first time going to Athens and a dozen family and friends are with us. I had an extensive wish list of everything I wanted us see and wasn’t obvious if we could actually accomplish it. I absolutely credit the driver and the tour guide with the success of seeing multiple sites. What I hadn’t anticipated in planning, is that when the driver drops you off at a site, he can’t park anywhere and wait for you. While you are at any site, he has to drive around. So the tour guide played an essential role of communicating with the driver when and where to pick us up. We start at the Acropolis (do buy tickets in advance). We took a drive to Kaisariani Monastery and caught site of Hadrian’s Arch, Zappeion Garden and the Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro) on the way. I have to say, it was great to go from the Acropolis which is a mess of tourists to the Monastery, which was empty. We caught a site of the enormous magnitude of the size of Athens along the way as well as seeing a little of the countryside. On the drive back, we drove up to Lycabetus Hill. The guide had a great recommendation for lunch. The driver drove past some incredible contemporary murals on the sides of buildings. I would not have known how to even research that in advance. I only wish I had the opportunity to photograph them. We drove by the Tower of Winds and Hadrian’s Library. The tour guide was also a critical aspect of navigating through the sites. We were dropped off at Monastiraki Square, she navigated us through the Roman Forum of Athens, the Gate of Athena Archegetis, the Stoa of Attalos, and then to the Temple of Hephaestus. If I had to figure that out all of my own, it would have taken so much time and stress, it may not have happened. Also, at Monastiraki Square, my seventy-something mother was exhausted and decided to stay on the limo. When we rejoined them, my mother said “I had the best time!” Apparently, they had gone for ice cream and shopping, and negotiating with an under cover cop. This experience couldn’t have been better. We were happy to tip both the driver and guide 50 euros. Thank you Athens Limo for such an amazing experience!

Highly Recommended!

A little nerves is always involved when travelling to a country you have never visit before. My girlfriend and I was taking a NCL Cruise and decided to spend 2 days in Athens before the cruise. We like to have everything pre-organized before we travel. Athens Limo was recommended to me by another company I had used in Italy last year. From the first email I sent inquiring about the service, my mind was set at ease with the timely response from Dionisis. Communication was very fast and clear. I quickly realized I was dealing with a professional team. Not knowing all there is to do despite hours of research, I was provided with a excursion package that fits exactly what I was looking for. I will admit I was nervous walking through the airport, but once we saw the Dionisis holding up the sign with my name it was all smiles...Its vacation time! Needless to say the service was excellent and way beyond my expectation. We were picked up from the airport, taken to our hotel where we dropped our luggage before we were taken to a dinner in the sky experience. The next morning we got picked up where we did all the more meaningful excursions. The Mercedes car was very clean and safe. My girlfriend is a germaphobia so when I say it was clean it was up to her standard. I would use them again if I ever visit Athens. Great service!
