Description

On this tour, you will be led through less treaded paths from where you will enjoy majestic views of the city and catch glimpses of its iconic landmarks and snippets of their intriguing story. And if this journey leaves you excited for further exploration, seize the opportunity to enhance your experience by combining this tour with an Acropolis entry ticket! Get ready to stroll along the outskirts of the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora, just as the ancient Athenians once did, and converge at Pnyx Hill, where democracy was born! Uncover hidden gems where the essence of ancient Greece intersects with elements of Christianity and modernity. Once the walk along the winding paths is over, you will be free to roam in the now more familiar area of historic Athens, equipped with your new knowledge. If you wish, you can book an entrance ticket to the Acropolis along with this orientation tour, by which you will be able to enter right after the tour’s end*. *Important Note: From September 2023 onwards, the Acropolis operates with time slots; the ticket purchased along with this tour will be valid for entering up to 1 hour after the end of the tour (the duration of the visit is not affected).
