Get away from the bustle of downtown Athens and climb to the tranquil slopes of the Acropolis on our 3.5-hour leisurely-paced walking tour that ends with a stroll through scenic Plaka! This leisurely walking tour combines the glorious Acropolis monuments and Parthenon temple with Athens's most picturesque and beautiful neighborhood, the majestic Plaka. Learn about the area's ancient history as you stroll around the Acropolis in Athens, the most impressive citadel in Greece. Observe the Parthenon, a historic temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, who served as the city's patroness. It is hard to imagine, but its construction started in 447 BC when the Delian League was at its most potent stage. Now it remains a one-of-a-kind citadel that you should not skip on your Greek holiday! We will also relish the charm of Plaka (Athens' Old Town), Anafiotika, its lovely whitewashed houses, the Byzantine churches and tavernas that dot the landscape, and picture yourself on an authentic Greek island. Forget all your worries and find yourself in the welcoming, bright, and wonderfully original world of Greek essence, its ancient history, and beauty!
