Full-day taxi tour in Athens and Marathon
Temple of Zeus
This taxi tour in Athens and Marathon starts from the Athens city centre, bringing you to all major sights in the historical city of Athens. Coming to Panepistimiou Avenue we will be driving ascending the street to see some of the most sumptuous landmarks in the city: the Academy of Arts, the Greek National Library and the Athens University stand there for the last centuries, ornamenting the city after being built by benefactors of the City of Athens.
Your private tour will continue bringing you to the Constitution Square; the Old Palace built in 1835 houses now the Parliament of Greece. It is a magnificent edifice made of pentelic marble.
In close proximity to the Square stands the Temple of Zeus, the National Garden, Hadrian’s Gate and the Panathenaic Stadium, the site of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens
Your taxi tour will bring you next to the Acropolis, the most characteristic monument of the ancient Greek civilization and the international symbol of Athens and Greece. You will be able to admire the sculptural decoration of the Parthenon, the uniqueness of Erectheion and the lovely Odeon of Herodes Atticus that lies beneath.
The sightseeing tour continues to the Ancient Agora and Plaka, the picturesque neighborhood of the city that lays beneath the Acropolis and stands out due to nice architecture, the cobble stone streets and the numerous gift and art shops.
Later on, your taxi tour will drive you along the classic Marathon route, where you will have the opportunity to see the surrounding mountains of Athens, the famous Penteli Mountain where the marble mines are, and you will soon arrive to the town of Marathon.
Surrounded by a nice countryside, Marathon features lush pine woods and of course the famous battlefield, where one of the most important battles of the antiquity between Greeks and Persians took place.
Our guided tour will take you to Brauron, where the Temple of Goddess Artemis (Diana) is located, and to Ramnous, a nice seaside village located on the northern part of Attica that boasts the only Temple dedicated to the Goddess of Vengeance, Nemesis.
Allow our professional drivers and guides to show you the beauties and historical sights of Athens and its nearby areas, driving you there safely and comfortably.
