Greet your guide near Syntagma Square for your Athens walking tour. See the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Greek Parliament, the National Garden, Hadrian’s Arch, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and the Zappeion Conference & Exhibition Center. Stroll atmospheric Plaka, the heart of Athens’ Old Town, and walk up to the UNESCO-listed Acropolis, a magnificent temple complex.
Enjoy leisure time—ample time for lunch—before making your way to the meeting point and boarding the coach for Cape Sounio. Travel through rugged seaside landscapes to the 5th-century BC Temple of Poseidon, where your guide explains the highlights of the site. Learn about the Greek myths that surround the building and see the inscription the English poet Lord Byron carved more than 200 years ago. Finally, your coach drops you either at your hotel or at the meeting point.
