Highlights

Long before Athens expanded, the Attic landscape was crossed by countless streams and waterways. One of the last surviving traces of that landscape is the Podoniftis stream, which once flowed through a landscape of orchards, gardens, and cypress trees north of the city. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll discover hidden layers of that older Athens. You'll also hear how refugee communities, a legendary cave taverna, and a deadly 1994 flood all shaped the stream's story. The tour starts at the church of Agia Varvara outside Ano Patisia Metro Station. Walking along Perissou Street, you'll get your first close look at Podoniftis, its banks dense with eucalyptus, fig trees, and reeds, with water birds and even herons hunting in the shallows. The tour ends at a small park near Papanastasiou Street, from where Perissos Metro Station is a short walk away.

  3. Pass this modern supermarket as you continue along the route through the neighbourhood. It marks a quiet stretch of the walk between the stream views and the streets ahead.

    Vorbeifahrt

  4. Stroll along Ionias Street, named after one of the Greek communities forced from their homes in Asia Minor in 1922. Alongside nearby streets like Smyrnis and Kordeliou, it keeps that history alive in the neighbourhood's everyday geography.

About Athen

Athen stellt die Akropolis über eine weitläufige moderne Hauptstadt, in der antike Ruinen, Hanggassen und lange Taverna-Abende nebeneinander bestehen.

Der Parthenon krönt die Akropolis, flankiert vom Erechtheion mit seiner Korenhalle, und das Akropolis-Museum am Fuß des Hügels zeigt die auf dem Felsen gefundenen Skulpturen. Rundherum machen die antike Agora, der Tempel des Olympischen Zeus, der Hadriansbogen und das marmorne Panathenäische Stadion die klassische Stadt leicht zu Fuß erkundbar.

Top-ranked sights in Athen: Acropolis, Parthenon, Acropolis Museum.
