The real highlight, however, is the ability to build your own itinerary. Below are some of the most popular and inspiring options you might want to include in your customized Athens experience.
Highlights You Can Include in Your Customized Tour
1. The Acropolis and Parthenon
No visit to Athens is complete without standing atop the Acropolis and gazing out over the city from this ancient stronghold. The Parthenon, a masterpiece of classical architecture, dominates the hill and offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural heights of ancient Greece. With your private car and driver, you can avoid the hassle of navigating public transportation or long walks to the site.
2. The Acropolis Museum
Located just a short drive from the Acropolis itself, this world-class museum is home to a stunning collection of sculptures and artifacts discovered on the hill and its surrounding slopes. The architecture of the museum, with its glass floors and panoramic views of the Acropolis, is as impressive as the treasures it houses.
3. Plaka and Anafiotika
Let your driver take you to the old neighborhoods of Plaka and Anafiotika, nestled at the foot of the Acropolis. These pedestrian-friendly districts are filled with neoclassical homes, cobbled alleys, and bougainvillea-covered facades. You can explore local craft shops, enjoy traditional Greek coffee, or sit down for a relaxed lunch in a shaded courtyard taverna.
4. Syntagma Square and the Changing of the Guard
Visit the political and administrative heart of Athens. At Syntagma Square, you can watch the ceremonial changing of the Evzones, the elite presidential guards, in front of the Hellenic Parliament. Nearby, you’ll find luxury shopping streets, stylish cafes, and scenic walking areas.
5. The Temple of Olympian Zeus and Hadrian’s Arch
These imposing ruins are just minutes away from the city center. The Temple of Olympian Zeus, once one of the largest temples in the ancient world, offers a dramatic backdrop for history lovers and photographers alike. Your driver can ensure you arrive at the best times to avoid the crowds and get great views of both the temple and the Acropolis.
6. Mount Lycabettus
For the best panoramic view of Athens, ask your driver to take you up Mount Lycabettus. At the top, you’ll find the charming Chapel of St. George and an open-air café. On a clear day, you can see the Aegean Sea shimmering in the distance.
7. The National Garden and Zappeion
This peaceful oasis in the middle of Athens is perfect for a midday break. The garden’s shady pathways, duck ponds, and ancient ruins make it a favorite among locals and visitors. Adjacent to the garden is the Zappeion, a historic building used for exhibitions and state events.
8. The Panathenaic Stadium
Also known as Kallimarmaro, this all-marble stadium hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. Your private tour allows you to stop here at your leisure, explore the stands, and imagine the roar of ancient and modern crowds.
9. Monastiraki and the Flea Market
A trip to Monastiraki offers a glimpse into the city’s colorful and eclectic side. With your driver navigating the busy streets, you can spend time exploring vintage shops, antique stores, and artisan stalls. It’s also an excellent place to grab a quick souvlaki or sample local sweets.
10. Piraeus Port and Coastal Drive
If time allows, your driver can take you along the scenic coastal route towards Piraeus, the historic port of Athens. Along the way, enjoy sea views, marinas filled with yachts, and upscale suburbs like Glyfada. This route offers a refreshing contrast to the dense urban core of the city.
Travel with Confidence and Comfort
TPO.Travel ensures not just premium transportation but a curated travel experience where logistics, navigation, and timing are all taken care of. You don’t need to worry about public transit schedules, expensive taxi fares, or language barriers. The driver handles all the details, allowing you to immerse yourself in the sights and sensations of Athens.
Whether you want to spend the day hopping between ancient ruins, stopping for scenic photos, dining at local spots, or simply soaking in the ambiance of the city, your private tour evolves to match your preferences.
Ideal for Cruise Passengers and Short Stays
A private car and driver is also the perfect option for cruise passengers arriving in Athens for a short time. With a limited window to explore, you can make the most of every minute — maximizing sightseeing while enjoying the security of timely pick-up and drop-off. Similarly, travelers with long airport layovers or business visitors with a free afternoon will find this service efficient and rewarding.
Athens is not a city to rush through. It is a place to savor, explore, and experience from many different angles — ancient and modern, artistic and political, serene and bustling. With TPO.Travel’s private disposal car and driver service, you gain access to the true spirit of the city, seen at your pace and from your unique perspective.
