3 Hour Guided Coach Tour

Orientation tour of Athens including a short stop at Panathenaic Stadium for photos (outside the site) and a visit to the Acropolis site (including the Parthenon, theater of Dionysus, Erechtheum).

Cape Sounion

Cape Sounion is a promontory located 69 kilometres (43 mi) south-southeast of Athens, at the southernmost tip of the Attica peninsula in Greece. Cape Sounion is noted as the site of ruins of an ancient Greek temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology. The remains are perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the sea.

Greek evening

Folklore evening with dinner in a taverna in the Plaka district of Athens, though not exactly a ‘typical Greek evening’, as it is often referred to, it’s sure to create a terrific atmosphere.

Epidaurus

A chance to see the best example of a Greek theatre (not transformed by the Romans), and test its perfect acoustics. The Sanctuary of Asklepios, a famous healing centre of the ancient world, is also worth exploring.

The Acropolis

No visit to Athens is complete without a visit to the Acropolis to see the Parthenon, the symbol of classical Greece, as well as the Erechtheum. Explore the Acropolis Archaeological Museum and take in the spectacular view from the Acropolis of the Theatre of Dionysos, the first stone theatre ever built. Take our three hour guide and coach walking tour to see all this as well as The Sanctuary of Zeus and Hadrian’s Arch.

Museum of Greek Folk Musical Instruments

Musical instruments have been selected on their aesthetic and decorative value as well as on their ethnological and musicological interest.

Agora & the Temple of Hephaistos

Take a close look at the Temple of Hephaistos, and visit the museum which provides evidence of politics and daily life in ancient Athens. This is a fascinating place for archaeologists to explore and a place to walk in the footsteps of Socrates, Pericles, Cleon and more Classical figures.

Aegina Island

Take a cruise to the Island of Aegina. Here, your group can spend time visiting the Temple of Aphaea dedicated to the Greek Goddess. A separate full day cruise of the islands Aegina and Poros is also available.

“One word...exceptional! The staff at NST feel like friends now. I never once felt out of control in any situation. In fact, I wondered at times if I had forgotten to do something important, as they had done almost everything for me! Hassle free - completely.”
