Settle in for a panoramic drive through Athens at dusk followed by an extraordinary dinner at a seaside restaurant with a coveted Michelin-star rating. While driving through Athens, you will pass one landmark after another – some ancient, others more modern. Among them are the Arch of Hadrian, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and perhaps most unexpectedly a statue of Lord Bryon, the famed English poet who died in 1824 during the Greek War of Independence. As Athens becomes fully illuminated after sunset, it will look even more radiant, leaving you with plenty to talk about over dinner. You will dine at Varoulko, an acclaimed Greek restaurant overlooking Mikrolimano Harbor. It will soon be obvious why Varoulko earned a Michelin star. The inspiring menu that Chef Lefteris Lazarou created focuses on fresh seafood, purchased each morning in local markets. Dishes may include octopus carpaccio, sesame-crusted tuna and the catch of the day.
