This wheelchair accessible full-day private tour takes you to all major highlights of Athens, with extra time to explore more of the city compared to the half-day tour. You will meet your driver and officially licensed guide at the cruise port or your accommodation, traveling in a private adapted vehicle. Together, you head into the heart of Athens, a city that seamlessly blends its rich ancient heritage with the energy of a modern European capital.
Your day begins at the Panathenaic Stadium, a stunning monument built entirely of marble for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. Nearby highlights include the National Garden and Acropolis Hill, which you’ll pass or stop by depending on time and traffic conditions.
The Acropolis is without a doubt the most iconic site in Athens. Here you visit the Parthenon, one of two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the city (the other being the Daphni Monastery). Stepping/Rolling onto this ancient ground is like stepping back 2,500 years in time.
Accessibility: Wheelchair users can access the Acropolis via a dedicated elevator. It accommodates up to 18 people or two wheelchairs and four additional companions per ride. A newly paved flat path makes the site easier to explore independently.
