Itinerary
The central square of Athens is dominated by the Greek Parliament (formerly the Royal Palace) and characterized by the high energy level created by the constant movement of people through the city’s busiest crossroads.
Souvenir shops, ancient monuments and the oldest area of the city attract the greatest concentration of tourists in Athens to this picturesque cluster of narrow alleys just below the towering stone sides of the Acropolis...
Hadrian’s library, great street food and an underground river hidden in a metro station await those who come to this antique and flea market area in search of a bargain or a look of one the city’s few surviving Ottoman mosques.
Long a neighbourhood where local craftsmen worked out of small shops, Psirri is now one of the city’s hottest new spots for evening food and drink. It’s also one of the best places to check out the city’s latest street art.
Athens' food market, bustling with locals seeking fresh produce, meats, and fish. Despite its lively atmosphere, it remains a true reflection of daily life, offering a genuine experience of the city's culinary culture.

5A great solo traveller experience!
Maritza was a phenomenal guide. Very knowledgeable about the history and the food. The group was friendly and not too large so really a great experience going solo. I wish I had brought euros with me for a well-deserved tip! Highly recommend!

5Great experience
Walking food tour with Elena was great fun! She brought energy, knowledge and a good range of food. She was also very accommodating for our group. Food was well spaced out with walk and talks in between. Would recommend to any newcomers to Athens!

About Athens
Athens sets the Acropolis above a sprawling modern capital, where ancient ruins, hillside lanes and long taverna evenings sit side by side.
The Parthenon crowns the Acropolis, flanked by the Erechtheion and its porch of caryatids, and the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill displays sculpture found on the rock. Around it, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the marble Panathenaic Stadium make the classical city easy to walk through.
Top-ranked sights in Athens: Acropolis, Parthenon, Acropolis Museum.
