Your first stop is the Hellenic Parliament, where you’ll admire its striking architecture and witness the iconic ceremonial guards. From there, you’ll continue into the historic Plaka district, nestled at the foot of the Acropolis. As you wander through its narrow alleys, neoclassical houses, and romantic corners, your local expert will bring Athens to life with stories that blend history, culture, and everyday local life. The walking part lasts approximately one hour.
After your stroll, you’ll return near the starting point and step into a cozy wine bar for a 1.5-hour tasting experience. Guided by an expert sommelier, you’ll sample four premium Greek wines while learning about tasting techniques, indigenous grape varieties, and Greece’s ancient winemaking regions. Each wine is thoughtfully paired with a selection of Greek cheeses & cured cold cuts, creating a rich and memorable sensory experience.
