The is a GUIDED WALK which is ideal for visitors or tourists wishing to explore central Athens on foot.
It is an easy walk which whilst only being approximately 3km in length, will take a whole day should you wish to explore the centre of Athens, stopping at the various sites we pass on the way.
Starting in Syntagma Square, a hub for Athens transpiration we visit the Greek Parliament, The old Royal Palace and the Hotel Grand Britannia.
Then walking down Ermou Street, the main shopping street in Athens we come to the ancient Greek Orthodox Church of Panagia Kapnikarea.
We then walk on to Monastiraki Square, before exploring the Monastiraki Flea Market. From here we move to the Ancient Agora of Athens, and then onto to Hadrians Library.
From this point we start the walk up to the Acropolis of Athens, passing the old Roman Forum of Athens and the many restaurants in Plaka.
On the final leg to the Acropolis we stop at the Areopagus, the ancient high court of Athens located on a rock with amazing views over the city.
We then see the entrance to the Acropolis itself, before showing how to get a taxi or bus at the end of the walk, should you wish.
