Description
Meet your guide in the afternoon/evening at Syntagma Square to experience the ancient part of Athens with a 4 hour small-group walking tour. You'll start by watching the famous “change of guards”, which takes place every hour in front of the Greek Parliament and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. From there, pass by small cafes, pubs, and restaurants which are full of life and energy and will elate you with their unique colors and traditional architecture.
You can also admire views of the illuminated Parthenon and the Acropolis, as you hear the sound of the Laterna, a traditional railing music box, being played by local musicians. Continue into the picturesque narrow alleys of the oldest neighborhood of Athens, the famous Anafiotika, which brings a Cycladic Islands’ essence to the heart of the city.
While strolling around, you will see the Ancient Greek and Roman Forum, as well as the famous and well-preserved Stoa of Attalos. Your tour host will give you all the details about ancient and modern history, before your final stop to a traditional Greek taverna for dinner and a tasting of some delicious local cuisine.
