Your private tour ends with the highlights of modern Athens: passing by the Monument to the Unknown Soldier, Parliament House, Presidential Mansion, Panathenian Stadium (site of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896), Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Academy, the University and the National Library.

Byzantine Church in Athens
After lunch, we will continue our Athens taxi private tour in the afternoon by visiting Piraeus port, the biggest port in Greece and the spot where St. Paul disembarked when he came to visit Athens from northern Greece.
Afterward, we will go to the Daphni Monastery, near Athens, Greece, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its stunning Byzantine mosaics. Built-in the 11th century on the ruins of an ancient Apollo temple, it exemplifies Middle Byzantine architecture with an octagonal domed church. The monastery’s mosaics, depicting Christ Pantocrator and biblical scenes, are masterpieces of Byzantine art, showcasing intricate gold backgrounds and expressive figures. Though damaged over time by earthquakes and wars, restoration efforts have preserved its beauty. A key religious and cultural landmark, Daphni Monastery reflects the spiritual and artistic grandeur of Byzantium in medieval Greece.
We will end this private tour in the afternoon, allowing you to explore the lively city of Athens at your leisure.
You can customize this private tour at any time, either on the way together with your private chauffeur or in advance by contacting our Athens Taxi Tours team.
