Acropolis
Le plus grand et le plus beau sanctuaire de l'Athènes antique, dédié principalement à sa patronne, la déesse Athéna, domine le centre de la ville depuis des millénaires. Les monuments de l'Acropole (le Parthénon, le Temple d'Athéna Niké, l'Érechteion, les Propyles, le Théâtre de Dionysos,...), tous chefs-d'œuvre uniques de l'architecture antique, ont influencé l'art et la culture pendant de nombreux siècles et se tiennent en harmonie avec leur cadre naturel.
La place centrale d’Athènes est dominée par le Parlement grec (anciennement le Palais Royal) et caractérisée par le haut niveau d’énergie créé par la circulation constante des personnes à travers le carrefour le plus animé de la ville.
Les boutiques de souvenirs, les monuments anciens et le quartier le plus ancien de la ville attirent la plus grande concentration de touristes à Athènes dans cet ensemble pittoresque de ruelles étroites juste en dessous des côtés de pierre imposants de l'Acropole...
La bibliothèque d’Hadrien, la grande cuisine de rue et une rivière souterraine cachée dans une station de métro attendent ceux qui viennent dans cette zone de marché aux puces et aux antiquités à la recherche d’une bonne affaire ou d’un regard sur l’une des rares mosquées ottomanes survivantes de la ville.
Longtemps un quartier où les artisans locaux travaillaient à partir de petits magasins, Psirri est maintenant l'un des nouveaux endroits les plus chauds de la ville pour manger et boire le soir. C'est aussi l'un des meilleurs endroits pour découvrir les derniers arts de la rue de la ville.
Marché alimentaire d'Athènes, animé par des habitants à la recherche de produits frais, viandes et poissons. Malgré son atmosphère animée, il reste un véritable reflet de la vie quotidienne, offrant une véritable expérience de la culture culinaire de la ville.

Our family had a fantastic time on the Acropolis and walking food tours. Both guides were exceptional and so knowledgeable about the history of both the acropolis and Greece. Acropolis tour had a good amount of history and fun facts combined. Walking food tour had heaps of great food and the history behind it. We definitely didn’t leave hungry. Would highly recommend.
We took two excursions: "Culinary stroll" and "Mythological Athens." A big thank you to our two guides, Nikos and Emilia, who passionately and enthusiastically introduced us to Athens, its history, mythology, and contemporary culture. The culinary stroll was our favorite in Athens: a blend of history and culinary art, another way to discover Greek culture. Thank you also for all the visiting tips and recommendations for Greek restaurants. The visit to the Acropolis is no exception: it is simply fantastic and allows for a better understanding of the richness of Greek heritage. We recommend these excursions without any hesitation. Thanks again for these wonderful moments of discovery and sharing.
Maria and Andreas were excellent tour guides. They were both very engaging and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Greek history and enjoyed wonderful food.
This food tour was such a precious experience. I was introduced to several hidden local spots with long traditions that I would never have discovered on my own. The food and desserts were wonderful, but what made the experience truly special was learning the stories and history behind each place. It made everything taste even more meaningful and memorable. This tour really showed me the true value of what a food tour can be.
This is a fun and delicious tour. We got to see many interesting and historic sights while also leaning about the origins of the food we ate. Andreas was a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Highly recommend.
We had 2 extraordinary times, both because of the magic of the place and because of our two guides. Both Catherina on the food tour (who gave us a perfect explanation of some of the pillars of Greek gastronomy, with a very personal and fascinating vision) and Anastasia (sorry for any possible spelling mistakes) on the mythology tour, who brought our vision of the Acropolis to life in a very lively and fascinating way. I absolutely recommend it!
Absolutely amazing! Athena was an entertaining and enthusiastic guide around the acropolis. Joseph did a great job remembering all our names and showed us a delightful time on the food tour. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this tour. We recommend this particular tour with these guides! Thank you so much for adding to our Greece experience ❤️
We did the Acropolis Mythology & Food Tour which was essentially a combo pack of the Beat the Heat Acropolis tour and the Food tour. The Beat the Heat tour is definitely the best way to go since the top of the Acropolis can get HOT and crowded! Our guide Michael was wonderful and a great story teller! He was very knowledgeable about the myths and fielded our group’s questions easily. The Acropolis itself was breathtaking and despite me and my partner knowing quite a bit of Greek mythology already, we still learned quite a bit! Michael also included some facts about the architecture and facts about some of the minor gods. The climb up to the Acropolis is a bit steep, but it’s not too long and Michael went at a nice, slow pace to accommodate for all fitness levels. Since we got the package, Alternative Athens had another guide escort us to the Food tour meeting spot and ensured we were on time, which was very helpful as the two spots were about a 20 minute walk away. Now for the Food tour: DO NOT EAT BEFOREHAND! You will want to try everything and there is so much food, that you don’t want to be hindered by stomach space! We had Mary Kate as our guide and we could not have asked for a better person to spend our time with. I was expecting just walking place to place with the historical context only at the food stops, but Mary Kate also gave us the history of the neighborhoods we passed through and showed us some historical spots. We also appreciated her candid takes on Athens and how personable she was with us (my partner thought she was so cool that she wanted to be friends with her 😆). The food was phenomenal at each spot, with both sweet and savory bites. We also did an olive oil tasting hosted by a wonderful lady (her name is slipping my mind) who even let us try a Kalamata olive oil that has a nice kick and wasn’t a part of the regular tasting. My favorite bite was the saganaki (fried cheese) at the taverna and my partner’s favorite was the pork gyro at Thannasis. But don’t sleep on any of the dishes because the marinated anchovies were a surprise hit! (I personally have only had anchovies in cesar salad and these were so fresh and light!)This tour was definitely so worth it and truly made our time here at Athens. Plus afterwards, Mary Kate sent us her personal food recommendations as well as some Greek recipes so that we could make some of the foods we tried at home! Both tour guides were phenomenal and exemplified the hospitality of the Greeks! We definitely recommend booking your tours with Alternative Athens!!
We had 3 guides, Theo for the Acropolis, a transfer guide, and Andreas for the food tour). Theo did well keeping us out of the crowds and presenting interesting, we'll selected information about the site. But the number of human beings on the site made it very unpleasant. The food tour was amazing! Andreas has cultivated an excellent collection of restaurants and local businesses to present the history and cultural of Greek food. The food we sampled was some of the best I have had (souvlaki, olive oil tasting, and the taverns really stood out.) I was very comfortable and we were well treated by the servers. I plan to return to some of those later in our trip. Both Theo and Andreas made sure we met and visited with the others in our group.
Really great experience! Both of my guides (my tour was split in 2) were excellent with interesting stories, backgrounds, etc about the food, history and culture. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to take an in depth tour of Athens' history and food.
