Our recommendation is: The "FRESKO" Yogurt Bar located on 3, Dionyssiou Areopagitou st. and Syngrou ave. It is at the beginning of the pedestrian walkway that takes you from Hadrian's Arch to the Acropolis. This is a very convenient meeting point considering the sights you are going to visit. Your tour guide will be holding the orange colored Athens Walking Tours sign to identify them.

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.
