Acropolis, Athens UNESCO World Heritage Site
"The Acropolis of Athens and its monuments are universal symbols of classical spirit and civilization and form the greatest architectural and artistic complex bequeathed by Greek Antiquity to the world. An exceptional group of artists under the guidance of the sculptor Pheidias, transformed the rocky hill into a unique monument of thought and the arts. The most important monuments were built during that time: the Parthenon, the Erechtheon, the Propylaea, the monumental entrance to the Acropolis and the small temple Athena Nike."

Seabourn is the official cruise partner of UNESCO World Heritage.
No one introduced Athens to the world as elegantly as Milton did -- 'the eye of Greece, mother of arts and eloquence' -- immortal words for a seemingly immortal city.
Meet your driver and guide on the pier and set off on a private tour to explore the fascinating city of Athens. Your visit today will begin with the most famous temple of the Ancient City -- the Parthenon -- dedicated to Athena, the patron goddess of Athens. Walking up a winding path towards the Acropolis, UNESCO World Heritage site, you will pass through the Propylaea, and see the Erechtheum Temple and the Porch of the Caryatids in the distance. Reinforced by the hand of man, the natural fortress of the Acropolis stands 230 feet above the city. You cannot help but be in awe of the view below.
On a panoramic drive through Athens, some of the highlights you'll see include Constitution Square, the Royal Palace where the Evzones keep watch in their traditional costumes, the Temple of Zeus and the Olympic Stadium.
Capacity: 2 guests. Your private party may be of any size up to the maximum capacity.
Please note: Private cars are ordered per vehicle (not per person), so only one person in the party needs to reserve the vehicle. The price shown is the total cost for the vehicle, driver, English-speaking guide and above-mentioned entrance fees. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Participants must negotiate many stairs and/or uneven surfaces and is therefore not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Shade is limited; please dress accordingly. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable sunscreen. Bring bottled water.
