Description of the Athens Panorama Half Day Accessible private shore excursion
The half-day Panorama shore tour starts from the cruise terminal at the port of Piraeus or your hotel in Athens. Whether you are two people or a large group, we can accommodate you in a private vehicle with 4, 10, or 17 seats.
We will drive towards Athens passing by the more modern suburbs of the city, and after 15-20 minutes, we will arrive at the feet of the Holy Rock of Athens, the famous Acropolis, which dominates the scenery in Athens.
Acropolis is the classic place to be in Athens if you are a visitor, and definitely for a reason. The Parthenon was built in the 5th century BC and still is the imposing temple of the city.
You can admire and photograph all the monuments of the Acropolis from the specific point where your driver will transfer you. It is a point that few people actually know and offers the best view of the Acropolis, relieving you from climbing the steep and long stairs.
Later on, the tour will continue towards the Temple of Zeus and the Arch of Hadrian, and you will have the chance to admire the lovely National Gardens (ex-Royal Gardens), that connect the Zappeion with the Parliament of Athens, which was the old Royal Palace.
