Description

Begin your adventure by meeting your enthusiastic storyteller, your guide into the dark and thrilling world of ancient myths. Stroll along Dionysiou Areopagitou street, the most breathtaking promenade in Athens, winding alongside the Acropolis. Named after Dionysius the Areopagite, the city’s first Christian convert, this historic path takes you straight into the heart of ancient Greece. Stop outside the Theatre of Dionysus, the birthplace of Greek drama and hear the very first myth of the evening—one that sets the stage for all the eerie tales to come. Stop outside the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, an ancient theatre that still hosts performances today. Long ago, a tragic king met his gruesome fate here. Will you dare to step into the role of an ancient Greek tragedian? Follow the footsteps of St. Paul along the Apostolou Pavlou street, a scenic street, where myth and history intertwine. A quick game will lead you to the tragic tale of a beautiful maiden transformed into a terrifying monster. Outside the Sanctuary of Pan, carved into the rock, uncover the legend of another infamous creature—one that may still lurk in your home today. But was its fate fair, or were the Olympian gods simply cruel? Gather around the statue of mighty Theseus, sculpted by George Vitalis, and hear the tale of the monster he defeated—a beast born of divine defiance. This is the finish point for the short version of the experience. Wander through the bustling alleys of Monastiraki, where the past and present collide. With the Temple of Hephaestus as your backdrop, discover the chilling story of a ruthless king who dared to deceive Zeus himself. But in the end, can anyone truly outwit the gods? Stop outside Hadrian’s Library, built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 132 AD. This grand structure once held the greatest knowledge of its time. Outside its gates, hear the final myth of the night—one of unexpected passion, dark magic, and a bloody act of vengeance. Surrounded by a whirlwind of cultures, styles, and eras, Monastiraki Square is the perfect place to conclude your adventure. With the echoes of ancient myths still lingering in your mind, will you see Athens the same way again?
