What to expect

Through this itinerary, you'll follow an alternative path that will allow you to explore 3,000 years of the history of a town that has managed to leave an indelible mark on the world over the centuries. Meet your guide at the Melina's Statue. Head through Plaka towards the Pedestrian Road, visiting the Acropolis Rock, which stands as one of the most important monuments in the world.

Later on, go to the Hill of the Muses, and walk on the paths carved by the famous architect Dimitrios Pikionis. Rest for a few minutes in front of the site known as "Socrates' Prison" and then hike up the hill to the top with the Philopappos monument. There, you can rest under the pine trees accompanied by the loud song of the cicadas and enjoy the most spectacular panoramas of the Parthenon while listening to the stories that shaped the city of Athens.

Continue your way towards the hill of Pnyx, where the heart of Democracy beat in antiquity, and then reach the Hill of the Nymphs, passing in front of the National Observatory, the first research foundation of modern Greece and one of the oldest in Southern Europe. Turn again on the Pedestrian Road as it descends towards the Thisseio neighbourhood, and take the busy Adrianou street, heading to Monastiraki Square where you'll taste the best Greek ice cream. Your tour ends here.
