Additional Information

Once we collect you from your designated location, we’ll delve into the ancient lanes of Plaka, meandering past the Lysicrates Monument, Tripodon street, historic taverns, and famous homes. Our journey will bring us alongside the Rizokastro wall, ascending the steps of the Anafiotika neighbourhood for a splendid scenic view of Athens, before passing the old University on our way to Monastiraki. Gradually, the tourist feel of Plaka will fade, and despite its lively streets, it will start to resemble a homely environment.

Through this tour, our goal is to penetrate the surface, exploring the human quality of this community that has stayed thriving for hundreds of years and has sparked the creativity of countless Greek and international artists.

Serene echoes of the old “laternas” or cantatas, once a common performance in these streets, will accompany us as we narrate tales of romance and treachery. Our adventure concludes approximately at 19:00 (low season) and 21:00 (high season), at which point your guide will escort you back to your accommodation.

A Wonderful Evening - We certainly got more than we expected. She took us to some other places along the way and told us all about them. That was lovely. Also, she recommended a restaurant for dinner in Plaka that turned out to be delicious. She was knowledgeable and personable.
