Saturday: After breakfast in our accommodation (included in price) we will explore! First we will see the Parthenon, the city’s most beloved monument that stands on the sacred rock of the Acropolis (guided tour+ tickets included in final price) (climb is quite steep so take shoes for that) Next will be Areopagitou, the busy cobblestone pedestrian street that runs along Acropolis Hill starting from Monastiraki and going all the way to Koukaki. We will also see the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Arch of Hadrian in Koukaki and Anafiotika, a tiny village in the heart of the city that looks like a Greek island - one of the top attractions in Athens that you can’t afford to miss! We will get there by Tripodon that holds the Guinness World Record as the oldest street in Athens and in whole Europe and has remarkably kept the same name for almost 25 centuries. For the evening, I will present you a couple of options on a trip itself, and then we will do what majority would prefer.
