The route links three stops — the Pnyx, the trireme Olympias at Palaio Faliro, and Mt. Aigaleo — into one continuous story, with pick-up from and return to your own address by luxury van.

We pick you up at the address you choose — hotel, rental or home — anywhere in Athens and the nearby suburbs, and bring you back to the same place.
Q: How is transport handled?
By luxury van throughout the route, from pick-up to drop-off.
Q: Do I need to know the history beforehand?
