Continue your walk up on the Acropolis hill while enjoying breathtaking views of the nearby monuments, such as Herodes Atticus Odeon, Philopappos Monument, the Observatory, and others. Enjoy a full explanation of Acropolis’ marvelous monuments: the Temple of Athena Nike, the Propylaea gateway, the Erechtheion, and the astonishing Parthenon.

The unique, beautiful view of the city of Athens, including the Mars Hill, the Ancient Agora, and the Temple of Hephaestus, will capture your heart and mind, same as you will capture them on camera.

After the conclusion of the Acropolis visit, continue your walk crossing the beautiful old town of Athens, the Plaka. Stroll the Monastiraki area and start a delicious journey of discovery through the streets of a less known part of Athens; the Athenian Market area.

You will be led past producer stalls bursting with color, intoxicating spice shops, enticing sweet shops, bakeries, and of course the bustling central food market of Athens. Visit small, hidden, specialty food shops where you will have the opportunity to free sample a wide variety of Greek delicacies ranging from mouth-watering sweets to original traditional Greek products, such as olives, honey, cheese a.o.

Your knowledgeable guide will also provide you with valuable insight both on the unique and intricate culinary heritage of Greece as well as the famous Mediterranean diet, hailed today as a model of healthy living. Your tour will be concluded near the Monastiraki area.

Skip-the-Ticket Line Access
We are pleased to offer all our guests a convenient skip-the-ticket-line service. We take care and pre-purchasing the entrance tickets for each archaeological site and Museum visited during the tour, saving you the hassle of buying them online or queuing up at the ticket counters. However, please be aware that even with our skip-the-ticket-line service, there might be some waiting time required for security checks. This is because visitor numbers can fluctuate unpredictably at the sites throughout the day. The typical waiting time falls within 0 to 10 or 30 minutes, though on rare occasions, it might be longer.

However, here's where our service truly shines: Even amidst a queue, our experienced guides will always stay by your side. They will use this time as an opportunity to kickstart your tour, offering in-depth explanations about the history and significance of the site you're about to explore. This way, not a moment is wasted, and you're assured of the full, rich experience we promise.

Meeting point

Our recommendation is: the "FRESKO" Yogurt Bar Acropolis 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.
