Free Walking Tour of Athens
Tour Details
At the indicated time, we'll meet opposite Epimenidou 9 and set off on a free walking tour of Athens, where history and modern Greek identity come to life!
This tour isn't just about seeing the ancient sites in Athens, it's also about understanding Greece's living spirit. We'll delve into paradoxes, passions, and aspects of Greek identity. You'll leave the tour with a deeper appreciation of what makes Greece, well, Greece.
As we stroll through the city, we’ll visit iconic landmarks that tell the story of Athens' rich past. We'll marvel at Hadrian's Library, a monumental site built by the emperor as part of his vision to make Athens a center of classical learning.
From here, we'll explore the Roman Agora, that was once the city's beating heart, and the center stage for all social, cultural, and political activities. Then, we'll check out the Monastiraki neighborhood and the picturesque Plaka district, lined with charming local shops and neoclassical architecture. Tucked within Plaka, we’ll also explore Anafiotika, a hidden gem that feels like a Greek island tucked into the side of the Acropolis with its whitewashed houses and narrow, winding alleys.
Next, we'll wander through the Panathenaic Stadium, a massive Olympic size stadium, before making our way to the bustling Syntagma Square, to witness the changing of the guard at the Greek Parliament.
After 2.5 to 3 hours of sightseeing, we'll bring our free walking tour of Athens to an end at this final stop, leaving you with a newfound appreciation for Greece's rich history, vibrant culture, and enduring legacy.
