Tour description
Walk in the footsteps of philosophers on this free walking tour of ancient and old-town Athens. With a local guide you'll set off from lively Monastiraki, pass the Ancient Agora where democracy was born, and climb the charming lanes of the Plaka beneath the mighty Acropolis. Admire the Parthenon crowning the sacred rock, hear tales of gods, heroes and the birth of Western civilisation, and reach grand squares of the modern city. Pick up insider tips on souvlaki, Greek coffee and the best rooftop views of the Acropolis. Free to join — simply tip your guide whatever you feel it was worth at the end. Note: entry to the Acropolis archaeological site needs a separate ticket; this tour explores its slopes and the old town.
