What You’ll Experience

Syntagma Square Fountain

The best option to discover and explore Athens, and at the end of your walk a mouth-watering typical Greek meal will appropriately round up your experience!
10 minutesAdmission Ticket Included
2

Hellenic Parliament

The history of the impressive building of the Hellenic Parliament is intimately linked to the history of the Modern Greek state. Initially, the building served as the palace of Kings Otto and George I. It became the Parliament and Senate building a hundred years after it was constructed, and still houses the Hellenic Parliament today. Through all those years, the building has undergone a series of changes and has been modernised.
20 minutesAdmission Ticket Included

Ermou Street

Ermou Street is a thriving pedestrian destination with a great history. Combining modern commercial activity with old-town atmosphere, Ermou Street starts from the west side of Syntagma Square and leads to Monastiraki. Its bustling sidewalks are lined with large stores, boutique designer shops, little snack bars and coffee shops. In the middle of the pedestrian area, the historic 11th-century Kapnikarea stands out, with its beautiful murals by Fotis Kondoglou. Ermou Street is the busiest and most expensive commercial street in Greece, making it a must-see destination.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Included
4

Monastiraki

Monastiraki is a marriage between what is fake and what is real. Most people want the fake stuff believe it or not. It is cheaper for one thing and they can't really tell the difference for another. But for those who know quality, wandering through Monastiraki is not a hopeless endeavor as it may appear to you on the surface. There are some very cool shops here, that you won't find in your local mall, or even in the Grand Bazaar of Constantinople. You just have to look for them and learn to recognize them. It may take turning down a small side street that the doe-eyed masses are oblivious to as they wander in droves down Hepheston Street and Pondrossou. It may mean crossing Ermou and going into the narrow streets of Psiri.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Included
5

Anafiotika

Anafiotika: The Hidden Gem Under the Acropolis Nestled at the north slope of the Acropolis, Anafiotika is one of Athens’ most scenic neighborhoods. Lined with white-washed houses that resemble the design of the Cycladic architecture, this district looks nothing like the Greek capital. The story of Anafiotika and why it should definitely be on your to-do list.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Included
6

Psirri

entral, trendy and unconventional: this is Psiri, the ultimate nightlife district in Athens. Young travelers will surely love this area of the city because it’s full of entertainment possibilities and it shows an interesting mix of past and present in both its buildings and its overall mood.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Included
7

Varvakios Central Municipal Market

If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, then you’ll certainly love the Greek capital after a visit to the Athens Central Market. This is literally the Grand Central Station of food, where people from all walks of life converge to discover the freshest and most delicious ways to satiate their hunger. Make no mistake, everyone shops here, from celebrity chefs to neighborhood grocery store owners. Named after one of Greece’s national heroes, gentleman pirate Ioannis Varvakis (1974-1825), this is a tribute to the everyman, as the Athens Central Market, aka the Varvakios, knows no class divides. Replacing an older, much more haphazard structure that eventually collapsed in 1884, this is a monument to Greek produce, where every edible food source under the sun is bought and sold in front of your very eyes.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Included

Omonia Square

Omonoia Square "Concord Square", is a central square in Athens. Forming the centre of Omonoia. It marks the northern corner of the downtown area defined by the city plans of the 19th century, and is one of the city's principal traffic hubs. It is served by Omonoia metro station.

Platia Eleftherias(Koumoundourou)

Enjoying Greek meze is a treasured eating experience in Greece and a way of life that can be traced back to ancient times. It’s a perfect and uncomplicated way to catch up with friends over a few plates of simple tasty food and letting the wine or spirits flow. Eating meze is not an appetiser to a bigger meal, it is the meal! and it’s a great way to explore the many tastes and textures of Greek cuisine. Achieving authentic and evocative flavours from Greece comes down to simple fresh produce and the very best Greek extra virgin olive oil you can find.
45 minutesAdmission Ticket Included
