Discover the ancient history and landmarks of Athens from two perspectives, first on a sightseeing drive around town followed by a funicular ride to the summit of Mount Lycabettus for aerial views of the entire city. Join a local guide in a comfortable coaster van for a narrated drive through Athens' bustling cityscape. See Hadrian's Arch, entrance to the ancient city, and what remains of massive Zeus Temple. Admire the National Garden's greenery and the 19th-century Old Royal Palace standing in Constitution Square. You'll also pass Panathenaic Stadium, site of the first modern Olympic Games. Then board a cliff railway for an underground journey high above the city to the top of Mount Lycabettus. Stand 908 feet above sea level and take in sweeping aerial views of all the sites you just encountered. The magnificent Acropolis stands out in the distance among a sea of red-roofed houses. You'll enjoy free time to explore, walking around the mountain or snapping photos of the whitewashed Church of Agios Giorgos. Meet back up in the al fresco cafe for a refreshment, with the incredible city of Athens as your backdrop.
