Would you like to spend a few extra days in Athens and take part in an exciting program that offers both pre-organised activities as well as plenty of free time to discover the Greek capital on your own? Then we recommend our three-day extension program in Athens. In addition to transfers and two overnight stays in the city centre, this includes admission to the Athens Archaeological Park (incl. Acropolis), a dinner in a typical Greek taverna and a choice of one of the following three activities: a guided e-bike tour through the historic centre of Athens, a culinary tour of Athens’ gastronomic highlights or a mythological walk through Athens including a guided tour of the Acropolis.


Time travel through 2,500 years of history 

The 2004 Olympics brought about a very positive change to the face of the lively 5-million strong metropolis of Athens. Large sections of the inner city were transformed into pedestrian areas and an impressive archaeological park was created, stretching from the Acropolis across the Ancient Agora to Kerameikos, the old potters’ and cemetery district. Enjoy an unforgettable stroll through the winding alleys of Plaka, the charming old town district, where you can not only stop to admire the many different souvenirs available, but can also delight at the treats in one of the countless cosy cafés.

Activities of your choice (one is included in the basic tour price)

Athens by e-bike
This eventful e-bike tour through the historic city centre of Athens runs daily, starting near the Acropolis metro station. It offers a perfect introduction to all the most important sights of Athens. The three-hour tour also takes you to great lookout points from where you can see large stretches of the city. A knowledgeable guide leads you safely along roads with little traffic while sharing the exciting history of Athens. This tour is therefore particularly suited to help you find your way in the urban jungle. For this reason, we recommend booking it on the first full day of your trip.

Athens Foodies Tour
What about a culinary tour of Athens? On the Athens Foodies Tour you get to know a whole other dimension of the metropolis by accompanying the Greeks in what they love to do most: Eating. The range of culinary specialities in this city is almost inexhaustible. How could it not be in a city where something is always being cooked somewhere at all times of the day! Soon you will feel just like the Greeks do – bite by bite and sip by sip. As we will be eating a lot, we recommend that you only eat a small breakfast on the day of the tour. This tour is offered from Monday to Saturday.

Mythological Walk in Athens
Have you always been fascinated by the world of Greek mythology? Then Athens is the city for you! On this four-hour walk through the Greek metropolis, you discover the heart of the ancient world and can explore the landmarks of Athens through a mythological lens. Whether at the majestic Temple of Olympian Zeus, on the world-famous Athenian Acropolis or during a stroll through the ancient Agora, once the centre of the city, your guide always has a fascinating and timeless story to share. Your guide’s insightful descriptions help you see behind the facade and decipher the meaning of the myths as well as the real events behind them! Listen to your guide as they help you get a better understanding of the complexities of ancient Greek society. By the time this exciting tour of Athens comes to an end, you will know how Greek myths helped Athens become one of the most prominent cities in the world. This tour is offered daily.

Note: Are you having a hard time choosing and would prefer to take part in several activities? No problem! You are more than welcome to add one of these activities for an extra 70 euro/person.

Also included in the Best of Athens Package: 

Entrance to the Athens Archaeological Park (incl. Acropolis).
Without a doubt, a visit to Athens is unimaginable without a visit to the Acropolis as well as some of Athens’ other world-famous archaeological sites, such as the Greek and Roman Agora, the Kerameikos, the the Pnyx and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. For this reason, an entrance ticket for the entire Athens Archaeological Park is included in the tour price. This ticket is valid for a period of three months, so you have complete flexibility regarding the time of your visits to the individual excavation sites. However, we recommend that you visit the Acropolis in the early morning or late afternoon. Not only will you have the best photo light, but you will also avoid the biggest crowds.

Dinner at Taverna To Kafenio
An authentic Greek dinner also awaits you. On an evening of your choice, we will reserve a table for you at your preferred time at the To Kafenio restaurant in Plaka, a delightful traditional taverna in the heart of Athens’ old town. You will dine there á la carte. Drinks are exclusive.
