Athens Highlights: Private Tour, Acropolis & Museum tickets Incl.

The Theatre of Dionysus Eleuthereus is a major theatre in Athens, considered to be the world's first ever theatre, built at the foot of the Athens Acropolis.

Located on the southern slope of the Acropolis, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a Roman-era stone theater built in 161 CE in memory of Herodes Atticus' wife, Regilla. Renowned for its exceptional acoustics, it once seated 5,000 spectators and hosted music and theater performances. Today, it serves as a premier venue for the Athens Festival, offering unforgettable events against the iconic Acropolis backdrop.

Following our tour of the Acropolis, we will head towards the Temple of Zeus, the largest temple in antiquity, devoted to the King of the Gods, by way of Hadrian's Arch.

A modern architectural masterpiece at the foot of the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum showcases a stunning collection of artifacts from the Archaic and Classical periods, with a special emphasis on the 5th century BCE Acropolis. Highlights include the Parthenon Gallery, ancient sculptures, and the remarkable integration of an excavated Athenian neighborhood visible beneath the glass floors. Opened in 2009, this award-winning museum offers a unique blend of ancient history and contemporary design, making it a must-visit for any history enthusiast.

We will visit the Panathenaic Stadium where the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896.

We will view the changing of the guard (Euzones) in front of the old palace, which today is the Parliament House, above the central square of Athens.

The Hellenic Parliament, in Greek known as "Voulí ton Ellínon" is the parliament of Greece, located in the Old Royal Palace, overlooking Syntagma Square. The Parliament is the supreme democratic institution that represents the citizens through an elected body of Members of Parliament.

Syntagma Square is the central square of Athens. The square is named after the Constitution that Otto, the first King of Greece, was obliged to grant after a popular and military uprising on the 3rd of September 1843.

The Academy Building constitutes one of three parts in an “architectural trilogy”. It was founded with the Constitutional Decree of March 18th, 1926, as an Academy of Sciences, Humanities and Fine Arts.

The National Library of Greece was built at the end of the 19th century, as the last of the Architectural Trilogy of Athens, a group of three neoclassical buildings which also includes the Academy and the University. The building was designed by Mr Theophil Hansen.

Moving on towards the historical center of the city we will drive up the highest hill of Athens, Lycabettus Hill, where you’ll have experience the best panoramic view of the city, from the hill of Acropolis out to the Aegean Sea.
