What You Will See and Do

Meeting point

Our recommendation is "Fresko Yogurt Bar Acropolis", 3, Dionysiou Areopagitou st , because we believe it is the right and most convenient spot for the route of the tour! Your tour guide or office representative will be holding the orange-colored Athens Walking Tours sign to identify them. 

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 Acropolis, 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!

Ask us for pick up from your hotel! Some, but not all hotels are conveniently located within the route of the tour and in this case, our guide will gladly meet you at your hotel lobby and start your tour from there.
