Athens we love – Walking tour

Explore the majesty of the Acropolis, the heart of Athens, and the surrounding picturesque Plaka district with its charming Mediterranean village atmosphere.

First we visit the sacred hill of the Acropolis. The Acropolis is home to many remarkable monuments, including the world-famous Parthenon, ancient theater of Dionysos, odeon of Herodes Atticus, Erechtheion, temple of Athena Nike, and Propylaea. A glorious three-hectare esplanade, the Acropolis (meaning "upper town" in Greek) dominates the city by more than one hundred and fifty meters. 

The Plaka district, located at the foot of the Acropolis, is the oldest district in Europe, and its labyrinth of small alleys has retained its Mediterranean charm. Discover the many Byzantine churches, the Tower of the Winds, Hadrian's library, and the delightful Anafiotika district, built in the Cycladic style with its small whitewashed houses clinging to the walls of the Acropolis.

In a few steps, you can go to ecstasy in front of the Parthenon of Pericles and hop, go down to the Plaka district and Monastiraki square to browse at the flea market.
Explore the birthplace of Western civilization with a stroll through the Acropolis and Plaka district.
