Overview

Go off the beaten track and discover a non-touristy part of Athens on this 4-hour tour.

Discover the hidden areas around the slopes of the Acropolis and uncover their ancient and recent past. Walk around the cobbled Plaka, Athens’ Old Town, a charming district on the slopes of the Acropolis, known for its neoclassical townhouses, Byzantine churches, bustling tavernas, and independent shops.

Explore Anafiotika, a picturesque district of whitewashed houses and stepped lanes, on the north side of the Acropolis. Explore the small passageways in this neighborhood of blue-painted shutters and vibrant bougainvilleas.

You will also discover other hidden gems like the ancient sites of Mars Hill, called the Rock of Ares (Areopagus) and Philopappou Hill and the rock chambers where the philosopher Socrates is believed to have been imprisoned in 399 BC.

Enjoy a sumptuous Greek picnic with a glass of wine, as you admire splendid views of Athens spread out below you.
