Zeta planned a custom tour through all of Greece for us. Quite a challenge for I had clear ideas. Zeta organized it perfectly. The driver, the guides, the hotels and the restaurant recommendations were all perfect. If you ever visit Greece for a culture trip - consult Zeta.

My guide Vasile met me at the Acropolis metro stop, we headed to the Acropolis, and I was the only person that had signed up for a tour that day so it was a solo tour. We stopped at the Acropolis, Temple of Hephaestus, Greek Agora, Lycabettus Hill, the glass running man, and the Olympic Stadium in my half day tour. 100% worth it, got some great photos and better memories, and would happily suggest them again.

Be inspired by glorious Athens! The capital city of Greece, where many philosophers were born, was the heart of Ancient Greece, a powerful civilisation and Empire. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views from Mount Lycabettus, 300 metres above sea level before being tantalized by the neoclassical buildings of the ‘architectural trilogy’ consisting of the National library, Athens University and the Academy of Athens. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the changing of the Royal Guards at Constitution Syntagma Square is also intriguing! Lively Monastiraki known for iconic landmarks such as the ruins of Hadrian’s library, the Stoa of Attalos and the ancient Agora together with its flea market is of significant interest. Be charmed by the serene Athens Riviera and enchanted by the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, one of the major monuments of the Golden Age!

Inclusions: Bottled water  , Hotel/port pickup and drop-off, Native English speaking drivers, Refreshment wipes, Transport by private air-conditioned vehicle, Wifi, Private Tour

We engaged Elite Tours to take us from Pireaus where our ship was berthed to Cape Sounin. There were six of us in a Mercedes van. The driver/guide was Spiros and what a wonderful guide he was. He took us to various places along the way and he was very informative. We enjoyed the scenery out at Cape Sounin. It is a beautiful spot and well worth visiting. The ruins were magnificent. Spiros took us to a restaurant overlooking the sea on the way back to the ship. This was an excellent tour and Elite Tours and Spiros come highly recommended. Lyn, Brisbane Australia
