Itinerar

  1. Plateia Syntagmatos

    10 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Start this historical Athens walking tour by meeting your local guide in Syntagma Square, the most important and crowded square in Athens, surrounded by impressive neoclassical buildings. The best known is the Grande Bretagne, once a royal palace but now a luxury hotel which has housed everyone from Churchill to Madonna.

  2. Monument to the Unknown Soldier

    10 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    At the upper end of the square see the Evzones, the guards of the Constitution, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The Evzones are traditionally dressed in 17th and 18th century clothes: an impressive white skirt, red hat, and an old rifle. The changing of the guard happens every hour, and you simply cannot tour Athens without seeing this spectacle – which is why we’ve incorporated it into this tour! Watch the ceremony while your local guide explains the tradition.

  3. Oprirea 3

    40 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Next on this Athens tour you’ll jump on the metro and travel to Acropolis station. You’ll exit the station and take a walk around the walls of the famous Athens Acropolis, passing by the Ancient Agora. We’ll walk along ancient roads, admire new architecture, and hear about the customs and traditions that still exist today. This is the central hub of classic Athens history, and you’ll hear the stories behind this monument from your local guide. (Please note that if you wish to tour inside the Acropolis, this will have to be done separately on your own time.)

  4. Adrianou Street

    15 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Shop for souvenirs along Adrianou Street, where you can find local products such as ouzo (Greece’s national alcohol). You’ll also see shops that specialise in olive oil, sponges, leather sandals, and bags — something you won't experience on other Athens tours.

  5. Arch of Hadrian

    10 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Continue walking to Diogenis Square, under the impressive wall of the Acropolis. See Hadrian’s Arch, built in honour of one of the most glorified Roman emperors.

  6. Temple of Olympian Zeus

    Trecere fără oprire

    You can see the ruins of the Jupiter (Zeus) temple as you taste and feel the history of Athens.

  7. Panathenaic Stadium

    15 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    The white marble Panathenaic Stadium is where the first Olympic Games took place and where the 2004 Olympic marathon ended.

  8. Kolonaki Square

    30 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Finally, you’ll be taken back to present-day Athens to admire some of Athens’ more modern architecture. We walk through the new city highlights, where life goes on in modern rhythms. See where locals wander, shop, and gather. Visit the Kolonaki area, which is the heart of today’s Athens.

  9. Academy of Athens

    Trecere fără oprire

    The Athens walking tour comes to an end at the Academy of Athens.
