Overview

Explore the beauty of Athens through a unique mix of a guided Acropolis tour and a pleasant guided walk within the historical and modern parts of the city.
Travel back in time on an informative and fun tour of the Acropolis of Athens combined with a colorful walking tour in the historical center of Athens guided by a field expert-licensed tour guide.
Discover this UNESCO World Heritage site through a journey into history, mythology and storytelling. Learn all about the cradle of Western Civilization and enjoy a leisurely stroll along Plaka, the oldest neighborhood of Athens.
Being at Plaka area, crossing the oldest street of the city of Athens, Tripodon street, we keep walking in the cobbled alleys among the neoclassical houses. Have your camera ready to snap photos and get ready to be lost in alleys that resemble small labyrinths through which we can discover the hidden “cycladic” island of Athens.

    Acropolis

    The greatest and finest sanctuary of ancient Athens, dedicated primarily to its patron, the goddess Athena, dominates the centre of the modern city from the rocky crag known as the Acropolis. The most celebrated myths of ancient Athens, its greatest religious festivals, earliest cults and several decisive events in the city's history are all connected to this sacred precinct. The monuments of the Acropolis stand in harmony with their natural setting. These unique masterpieces of ancient architecture combine different orders and styles of Classical art in a most innovative manner and have influenced art and culture for many centuries. The Acropolis of the fifth century BC is the most accurate reflection of the splendour, power and wealth of Athens at its greatest peak, the golden age of Perikles.

    Anafiotika

    Anafiotika is a scenic tiny neighborhood of Athens, part of the old historical neighborhood called Plaka. It lies in northerneast side of the Acropolis hill. The first houses were built in the era of Otto of Greece, when workers from the island of Anafi came to Athens in order to work as construction workers in the refurbishment of King Othon's Palace. The first two inhabitants were listed as G. Damigos, carpenter, and M. Sigalas, construction worker. Soon, workers from other Cycladic islands also started to arrive there, to work as carpenters or even stone and marble workers, in a further building reconstruction period in Athens, but also in the following era after the end of the reign of King Otto.

    Plaka

    The Plaka is the oldest section of Athens. Most of the streets have been closed to automobile traffic, though you should still keep a watchful eye for a speeding motorcycle or delivery truck. At one time it was the nightclub district, but most of these closed down when the government outlawed amplified music in the neighborhood in the seventies in an effort to get rid of undesirables.Though it is quite commercialized it is still a neighborhood and arguably the nicest neighborhood in central Athens.
