The Original: Athens Old Town Guided Walking Tour

Beat the heat and the crowds by accessing the Acropolis early in the morning with your expert guide on this small-group tour. Meet your guide at the Key Tours office, then head to the south slope of the Acropolis, where you will admire the Dionysus Sanctuary and the Dionysus Theater. Walk up the hill leading to the Acropolis' significant sites and have your camera ready to snap photos of the historical monuments, including the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the Pedestal of Agrippa.

After exploring the Acropolis site and descending, you will enter and walk through the unique district of Plaka. For a while, forget the city's sounds. Wander around Anafiotika, the highest neighborhood of Plaka, and discover its tranquil, picturesque, and mystical hidden corners with your guide. Stroll through the countless little alleys and admire the old, whitewashed mansions with carved wooden or imposing iron doors, along with the colorful painted shutters. Uncover hidden gems of unspoiled beauty and magnificent views, and learn secrets unknown even to many Athenians.
After a while, you will arrive at the Bathhouse of the Winds, the only public bath in Athens still standing today. Dating back to the first period of Turkish rule, it is located near the Roman Forum and the Tower of the Winds. As you pass by the Roman Forum, the Fethiye Mosque Museum, and Hadrian's Library, your documentary storyteller guide will reveal unheard-of stories from the Roman and Ottoman eras. Your tour concludes at Monastiraki Square, perhaps the oldest surviving square in the city.

Entry to Acropolis NOT included, so you will need to have a valid ticket for the date of you choice, and for the 09:00 -10:00 time slot.
