Meeting point

At Fresko Yogurt Bar Acropoli (3, Dionyssiou Areopagitou Street), look for your expert guide with the orange sign that says “Athens Walking Tours.” This location is at the beginning of the pedestrian walkway that takes you from Hadrian's Arch, Siggrou Avenue (also written as Syngrou), to the Acropolis.

Please be at the meeting point 15 minutes prior to the tour departure time.

Our tip: While at Fresko Yogurt Bar Acropoli, it is a good opportunity to try a serving of fresh authentic Greek yogurt, best when topped with honey or a spoonful of Greek sweets. Be sure to ask for a free sample after you check in with your guide!
