    • We will then move on to the Panathenian Stadium (the stadium of the first Olympic Games on 1896)

      15 min

    • We go on to visit the memorial of the Unknown soldier and the changing of the Guards (Euzones) in front of the Greek Parliament, opposite the Syntagma or Constitutional square.

      20 min

    • After that let's see the Trilogy of Athens (the Academy, the First University of Athens and the National Greek Library)
