The programme

Your taste of the Greek capital begins on the Athenian Riviera as we set off from the port of Piraeus and head south, listening to the guide's stories, along the Saronic Gulf.
The rugged coastline alternates with seaside resorts such asVouliagmeni, named after a “sunken” lake, and Varkiza, famous for water sports. * An essential stop is Cape Sunio: look out over the Aegean Sea and explore the 5th century BC Temple of Poseidon. If you hear a siren, it will be a passing ship celebrating the god of the sea.
You'll then be welcomed back in Athens for a typical Greek snack of keftedes meatballs, tiropita with feta, spinach spanakopita and fragrant ouzo to finish off.
Tour a city that suits all tastes: from ancient treasures like the Arch of Hadrian and the Temple of Zeus Olympus to the neoclassical National Gardens and the Academy.
Discover the Panathenaic Stadium; built entirely of white marble, it hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. After this, prepare for the best view of the Acropolis.
Frame the Parthenon, even more beautiful at sunset or illuminated by the evening lights, and click away!
