day 1Join tour in Athens

Our tour starts in Athens, Greece's historic hub. The city is a heady mix of ancient and modern, having been the capital of Greece for less than two centuries, but with a history dating back over 3,000 years. Located on the Plain of Attica, it's also an area of breathtaking scenery, set against a backdrop of mountains and stretching to the blue coast. For those arriving on time, our tour leader will meet you in the hotel reception at 7.00 pm and, for those that wish, there'll be the chance to go out for dinner. Due to a number of flights arriving into Athens later in the evening, our welcome meeting will take place on the morning of day two. There are no activities planned today, so you“re free to arrive in Athens at any time. If you” d like an airport transfer, you'll need to arrive into Athens International Airport (ATH), which is around a one-hour drive from our hotel. If your flight arrives earlier in the day, you might like to visit one of the cafes in the colourful Psyrri district, which offer traditional Greek cuisine of scrumptious aubergines, tomatoes and cheese washed down with ouzo or raki. There are traditional rustic tavernas in the well-known Plaka area at the foot of the Acropolis, too.
