Overview
The striking contrast between the breathtaking monuments of a glorious past and modern elegant structures is what you will enjoy during your Athens Landmarks Tour. Visit the Acropolis, the crowning beauty and glory of Ancient Athens, with its many monuments atop its rocky base, including the awesome Parthenon, the Propylea, the temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion, with its Porch of Maidens. You will visit the Roman Temple of Olympic Zeus, the Panathenean Stadium (the site of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896), the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of the Parliament House overlooking Constitution Square. Admire the views of government buildings and elegant structures of the 19th century.
