    Walk along Athens' streets, explore historic neighborhoods that surround the Acropolis, as well as the picturesque Plaka district. Follow an expert guide to hidden nooks and treats in the city that only locals know. Get a peek into Athens' lesser-known architectural and cultural highlights!

    Behold Syntagma station and watch the changing of the guards at the Parliament House. Take in the sights, sounds, and smells of Monastiraki's famous markets, where the aromas of fresh Greek food mix with the hustle and bustle. Admire architectural wonders of the ancient world, and stroll past winding streets steeped in history.

    Don't hesitate to pick your guide’s brains on their vast knowledge of Greek history and mythology, as well as food recommendations and other local tips!
