This tour offers an in-depth exploration of Plaka, featuring a guided journey through significant monuments and landmarks from the Byzantine and Ottoman eras of Athens, which have shaped the city’s modern identity. Participants will visit Byzantine churches and historical sites along the streets of Athens, with discussions on frescoes and icons. There is an option to visit a monastery located in the heart of the capital. Alternatively, participants can choose to explore the Smyrna Refugees landmarks in Piraeus, which would result in visiting fewer churches in Plaka. This tour is ideal for those who enjoy walking, are eager to learn about new cultures, or have an interest in the interaction between Ottoman and Christian influences.
