  • Day 1: Athens Arrival

    Welcome to Greece! Arrive at Athens International Airport and our driver will be waiting for you to greet you and transfer you to the hotel. Athens, the capital of Greece is the historical capital of Europe, with a long history, dating from the first settlement in the Neolithic age. In the 5th Century BC (the “Golden Age of Pericles”) – the culmination of Athens’ long, fascinating history – the city’s values and civilization acquired a universal significance. Over the years, a multitude of conquerors occupied Athens, and erected unique, splendid monuments - a rare historical palimpsest. In 1834, it became the capital of the Modern Greek state and in two centuries since it has become an attractive modern metropolis with unrivaled charm. Rest of the day at leisure. Overnight at Athens.
