Description

Immerse yourself in the enchanting atmosphere of Athens and discover its most emblematic monuments with this night tour of the city. What do you say, shall we go? Itinerary We will meet at the indicated time at the Books Plus store, opposite the National Library of Greece, to start this night tour of the city. First, we will admire the imposing neoclassical façade of the library before reaching the Academy of Athens, one of the city's architectural masterpieces. Under the glow of the night lights, the Ionic columns and statues of Plato and Socrates exude beauty, instantly immersing you in the grandeur of ancient Greece. A few steps away, the imposing Greek Parliament will rise before you. You will witness the changing of the guard of the Evzones, the famous presidential guards with their distinctive uniforms and solemn march. It will also be an opportunity to immerse yourself in the political heart of Athens, Syntagma Square, always lively and bustling. We will then take Ermoú, the city's most famous shopping street, which will lead us to a beautiful temple hidden among modern buildings: the Byzantine church of Agia Dynami, a symbol of resistance. We will then stop at the majestic Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, the largest Orthodox building in the city, whose impressive frescoes tell the spiritual history of Greece. We will then reach the picturesque neighborhood of Anafiotika, which, with its white houses, evokes the atmosphere of the Greek islands. Next, we will discover the imposing ruins of the Roman Agora and the fascinating Tower of the Winds, a marble structure that served as a sundial in ancient times. Nearby, we will also admire the great library of Hadrian, a legacy of the Roman emperor, which still retains the essence of its golden age. Of course, a visit to the Greek Agora, the heart of Athenian public life, where philosophers such as Socrates and Plato debated the great ideas that shaped Western civilization, is a must. Finally, after a two-hour itinerary, we will end your visit in Monastiraki Square, where ancient history blends with modern Athens. Surrounded by shops, cafes, and markets, this square is the vibrant soul of the city, where the hustle and bustle of the flea market mixes with the majesty of the illuminated Acropolis in the background.
