Estimated Itinerary

Thursday: Kaiserslautern to Athens

October is the perfect time to fly to Athens.  With an average daily temperature of 75 degrees, the heat of summer is gone, and you will be more comfortable in the historic city.  Dinner included at your hotel on your first night in Athens will make your first evening in Greece convenient and easy.

Friday: Athens

Your morning will be filled with a half day tour of Athens, followed by free time for you to use at your leisure. The upper city, Acropolis, invites you to climb to the Temple of Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom and namesake of the city. How will you spend your afternoon?

Saturday: Free Day or Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon

Spend the day enjoying more of Athens, or join us on a visit to one of the major monuments of the Golden Age of Athens, the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion.  Built on top of an even older ruin, the Temple of Poseidon was built during the time of Pericles and the Persian wars.  The ruins of a temple of Athena and an Athenian fortress are also located at the cape, which is the southern most tip of the Attic mainland.

Sunday:  Free Day

Monday: Return to Kaiserslautern

After breakfast, you will transfer to the airport for your flight home.  Your mid-day flight to Frankfurt will land early enough for you to be home in the late afternoon.
