Athenian Hills Walking Tour - Your introduction to Athens

Despre activitate

Travelers usually ignore the lovely hills of Athens in favor of concentrating mostly on the Acropolis site. I am able to provide a detailed explanation of each of them, including its history, and suggest lovely locations for stunning photographs.

As a native of Athens I know well the most of the good places and secret corners of it. Walking and photography is my passion. I want to share this experience with my guests. I spent a lot of time on each of the hills and brought people with me leaving a great last impression.

Athens is not easy to explore, the touristic infrastructure here is not so well developed (except for Acropolis and archeological sites around), so it's easy to lose a lot of curious places. I am here to help you to discover this city at a maximum level.

This year-round hiking and walking tour is ideal for small groups or solo travelers.

Itinerar

  1. Philopappos Monument

    25 min

    We'll explore the old walls that are left from ancient Athens. You'll also visit the Eastern Roman church of St. Dimitrios. Then, we'll walk through the Dimitrios Pikionis square, which offers a wonderful view of the Acropolis. Finally, we'll head to the top of the hill to see the Monument of Philopappos and enjoy the beautiful views all around and taking photos.

  2. Pnyx

    25 min

    We will explore the Pnyx Hill (just next to Filopappou) - the place of Athenian Democracy. This is where Athenian citizens gathered to discuss laws, make decisions, and participate in the governance of their city. We will see the ancient speaker's platform (Vèma) and will pass near the telescope of the modern National Observatory of Athens.

  3. Herod Atticus Odeon

    10 min

    As we make our way towards Ardittós Hill, we'll walk by the remarkably well-preserved and still-used Roman theater built by Herodes Atticus.

  4. Oprirea 4

    25 min

    Reaching the top of Ardittós Hill, we'll be rewarded with a fantastic view of the Panathenaic Stadium – an ancient stadium that was fully reconstructed for the first modern Olympic Games. We'll then take a stroll around the stadium before heading to our final stop, where we can enjoy a breathtaking panorama of all the amazing places we've explored on our tour.

  5. Zappeion Conference & Exhibition Center

    15 min

    As an optional final stop on our way back, we'll see the beautiful neoclassical Zappeion building, which was established by Evangelos and Konstantinos Zappas and notably built to host events for the modern Olympic Games.

    Kindly note, that we will not enter inside the building, it is open only for events and exhibitions.

  6. Monument of Lysikrates

    10 min

    Passing through a Plaka district we will enjoy the beauty of Lysikrates Monument. This monument stands as a reminder of ancient Athenian musical competitions.

  7. Koukaki District

    15 min

    As we begin our tour and head towards Philopappou Hill, we'll walk through Koukaki, a neighborhood where you'll see a mix of beautiful old neoclassical buildings right next to more modern styles of architecture.

  8. Mets

    15 min

    We'll experience the charming and lively Mets neighborhood, nestled at the base of Ardittos Hill. This area has a wonderful old-world feel, with its beautiful neoclassical buildings that remind you of 19th-century Athens. From there, we'll take a special, less-known path used by locals to enter Ardittos Hill.

  9. Dionysiou Areopagitou

    20 min

    Leaving Pnyx Hill, we'll stroll along the Dionysiou Areopagitou promenade. As we walk, we'll admire the ancient Athenian ruins alongside elegant neoclassical buildings. Our path will also take us by the Roman Cistern and the sanctuary of the Nymphs.

  10. Arch of Hadrian

    20 min

    As we leave Plaka, we'll walk under the impressive Arch of Hadrian. We'll then pass close to the majestic Temple of Olympian Zeus before making our way to the Mets district via Vassilisis Olga's Street.
