Exclusions
Follow your experienced guide through Plaka’s alleys, to discover its treasures one by one: The Roman Forum, the Tower of the Winds, the Medresse, the Hadrian’s Library, and Tzistarakis Mosque. Continue to Monastiraki Square and from there on, to the busy and colorful Flea Market and Avyssinias square with the antique dealers.
At the Ancient Agora, your guide with their narrations, will bring to life the Market place, where ancient Greeks used to do their trades, but also used to gather to discuss city matters, thus, creating the idea of Democracy. See and capture with your camera the South Stoa, the Tholos, the Monument of the Eponymous Heroes, the Altar of the Twelve Gods, the Temple of Hephaestus, and many more. Visit the beautiful Agora Museum, housed in the Attalos Stoa, and see a rich selection of artifacts used in the daily life of the Athenians. After the conclusion of the visit, your guide will depart, leaving you to enjoy and further explore the site and the old part of the city.
Our recommendation is: Inside the Syntagma Metro Station, because we believe it is the right and most convenient spot for the route of the tour! The meeting point is next to the ticket validating machines, underneath the hanging clock. Your tour guide or office representative 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.
