Start your day with a pickup from your centrally located Athens hotel, then climb inside a private, air-conditioned vehicle with a tour escort and relax on the journey to Attica Zoological Park. Located in Spata, a suburb to the north of Athens, Attica is home to more than 2,000 animals.
As you travel, gaze out of the window at the iconic Temple of Olympian Zeus (Olympieio) and Hadrian’s Arch. You’ll also pass the National Garden, the National Library of Greece and the Parliament Building.
On arrival, pick up a map and plot your route. Perhaps begin with a stroll through the walk-in bird aviaries, where you’ll see birds of prey and colorful tropical and African species.
Then, maybe explore the big cat enclosures to see lions, jaguars and snow leopards before continuing through the African Savannah and catching sight of giraffes, zebra and more.
Alternatively, plan your route around animal feeding times, so you can get an up-close look at bears, ring-tailed lemurs, chimpanzees, wolves, African penguins and pygmy hippos.
After around 2.5 hours, join back up with your tour escort and private vehicle and end your experience with a drop-off back at your hotel.
McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Shopping Mall Upgrade (6 Hours)
After spending the morning at Attica, continue on to the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet. The first of its kind in Greece, the shopping mall features some 100 outlet stores, with steep discounts on premium, brand-name and designer clothing.
Check out impressive savings on brands such as Ralph Lauren, Salvatore Ferragamo, Roberto Cavalli and Hugo Boss, as well as sports labels like Nike and Adidas. You'll also receive a discount card, allowing you to save a further 10 percent. If you’re feeling hungry, visit one of the many cafes or restaurants for a quick snack or a sit-down meal.
After roughly two hours at McArthurGlen, meet back up with your tour escort and private vehicle and relax on the return journey to Athens, where your experience ends with a drop-off at your central hotel.
