Then we’ll pass by the old Royal Palace, which today houses the Greek Parliament and it is guarded by the Evzones in their traditional colorful uniforms. Right in front of the Parliament there is the Memorial of the Unknown Soldier. We will also see the Presidential Residence, the amazing Temple of Olympian Zeus and Hadrian's Arch.
A few meters away, at Panepistimiou Ave, we’ll have the chance to see the three famous Neoclassical buildings of the Academy, the University, and the National Library.
After visiting the center of Athens, we’ll head to the famous site of the Acropolis, the renowned masterpiece of classical Athens. We’ll climb up the Holy Rock and visit the Propylaea, the temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion and, of course, the Parthenon.
