Highlights
  • Syntagma - The central square of Athens is dominated by the Greek Parliament (formerly the Royal Palace) and characterized by the high energy level created by the constant movement of people through the city’s busiest crossroads.

  • Plaka - Souvenir shops, ancient monuments and the oldest area of the city attract the greatest concentration of tourists in Athens to this picturesque cluster of narrow alleys just below the towering stone sides of the Acropolis…

  • Monastiraki - Hadrian’s library, great street food and an underground river hidden in a metro station await those who come to this antique and flea market area in search of a bargain or a look of one the city’s few surviving Ottoman mosques.

  • Psiri - Long a neighbourhood where local craftsmen worked out of small shops, Psirri is now one of the city’s hottest new spots for evening food and drink. It’s also one of the best places to check out the city’s latest street art.

Fun, informative, and delicious! - My husband and I did this food tour while on our honeymoon. This was a great way to explore Athens and taste a little bit of Greece’s delicious food and learn about the culture. It was in July so we were definitely hot while walking around the city but it was still a lot of fun and a great experience. Our tour guide was very nice, funny, and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this tour while in Athens. Thank you!
