Description

Begin your tour at Syntagma Square, where you can witness the changing of the guards. Stroll through the National Garden, a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city. Pause for a refreshing juice from the Kiosk (if needed, at your cost), then continue to the Panathenaic Stadium, the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble. After, we head to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, a colossal ruin that once housed the largest temple in Greece. Next, explore the charming neighborhood of Plaka, known for its narrow streets, neoclassical architecture, and vibrant atmosphere. Enjoy some shopping and a coffee break in one of the local cafes. Walk past the Roman Agora, taking in the historical sights and learning about their significance. Capture photos under the Acropolis, a stunning backdrop for your memories. Pass by the Agora of Athens, a bustling marketplace in ancient times, and see the nearby restaurants. Conclude your tour at the ancient cemetery, a serene and historic site, end with an option to tour the cemetery(my favourite part of Athens) Receive a PDF guide with a list of places in Athens, and recommendations for things to enjoy beyond the main attractions. All of the places on the PDF have been a curation of my 2 years here in Athens, as someone who moved from Edmonton, Alberta.
