Tour description
Walk in the footsteps of philosophers on this free walking tour exploring ancient Athens and the historic quarter. Led by a local guide, you will depart from vibrant Monastiraki, pass by the Ancient Agora — the birthplace of democracy, and follow the charming alleys of Plaka beneath the majestic Acropolis. Gaze up at the Parthenon perched atop the sacred rock, listen to stories of gods, heroes, and the birth of Western civilization, and finish at the grand squares of the modern city. Get insider tips on souvlaki, Greek coffee, and the best rooftop views of the Acropolis. Free to join — at the end of the tour, simply tip your guide what you feel it was worth. Note: admission tickets to the Acropolis archaeological site must be purchased separately; this tour explores the slopes of the Acropolis and the old town.
