Explore the best of Athens in just a few hours with your private guide, who will take you to all of the highlights of the historic centre, including Monastiraki Square, Hadrian’s Library, the Roman Agora, Tower of the Winds, and Lysicrates Monument.
Your guide will help orient you with recommendations for the best dining and shopping, including pointing out several of the artisanal shops which remain on otherwise touristy shopping streets. Meet artisans and chefs with your local guide, who will immerse you in the real Athens, hidden in plain sight amongst the ancient ruins and commercialised spaces.
Enjoy a coffee and a traditional pastry at one of Athens’ oldest bakeries, before your tour ends in front of the New Acropolis Museum, which we recommend you explore at your own leisure.

5.00Maria was basically our private archeological historian. We enjoyed every step and every nugget of Greek history she shared. We truly appreciated Maria’s Greek pride and wisdom. Cheese pies from the oldest bakery and a Greek coffee were unexpected treats! Dinner recommendation of Psaras Tavern was perfect! Thank you, Maria.
Athens is a great city

5.00The Plaka district of Athens is a really cool, busy place. There are tons of restaurants & bars plus lots of shopping opportunities. Everybody’s friendly! It’s also a great place to do people watching. The Changing of the Guard at the Parliament building is very interesting to watch. It’s done every hour, on the hour, 24 hours a day, rain or shine. The guards a very colorful in their uniforms, especially if you visit on a Sunday or holiday.
