Itinéraire
Rencontrez votre guide local expert sur la place Syntagma, devant le bâtiment illuminé qui abrite le parlement grec. Descendez l'avenue animée d'Amalias et continuez dans les rues bien éclairées qui vous mèneront au meilleur de ce que Athènes a à offrir!
Arrêtez-vous et émerveillez-vous devant le temple de Zeus Olympien vu de l'extérieur pendant que votre guide raconte des histoires d'empereurs sous la grandiose arche d'Hadrien.
Vient ensuite le monument choragique de Lysicrates, où votre guide perspicace vous renseignera sur les origines et l’histoire du drame dans la Grèce antique. En voyant cet exemple lumineux de la culture grecque antique, vous comprendrez mieux les histoires que vous êtes sur le point d'écouter.

Promenez-vous dans ses ruelles parfaites et découvrez les petits cafés et restaurants qui décorent cette partie magique de la ville.
Après Plaka, vous aurez l'occasion de profiter d'une vue nocturne sur la majestueuse Acropole d'Athènes et sur l'agora romaine doucement éclairée, construite de l'extérieur entre 19 et 11 av. avec une donation de Jules César et Auguste.
Ensuite, admirez la Tour des Vents illuminée, la première station météorologique de l’histoire à l’architecture époustouflante tout en écoutant l’histoire des monuments à travers les années.
Descendez en direction de Monastiraki et rejoignez la plus vieille place d'Athènes, la place Monastiraki. Plein de vie et d'histoire, découvrez les monuments historiques qui intègrent le passé et le présent d'Athènes. Jetez un coup d'œil à la mosquée Tzistarakis, à la bibliothèque d'Hadrien et à l'église Pantanassa, tous des monuments de différentes époques, puis tournez la tête vers le célèbre marché aux puces de Monastiraki, le meilleur endroit pour acheter vos souvenirs. De là, longez Adrianou Str., Le marché antique et la Stoa d’Attale, tout en découvrant les histoires qui se cachent derrière Areopagus, le lieu qui abritait autrefois la cour suprême de l’Athènes antique.
Enfin, vous terminerez votre visite à Psirri, le quartier athénien coloré et alternatif abritant des maisons néoclassiques, des cafés, des bars, des petits restaurants et des bars locaux qui donnent vie à la vie nocturne athénienne! Dites adieu à votre aventure nocturne en compagnie de locaux sympathiques pour un dîner traditionnel «meze» grec, accompagné de liqueurs ou de vins grecs traditionnels.

Great experience and highly recommend tour of Athens sites, history, culture, and finished with a wonderful dinner. Our guide, Penelope, gave us an expertly delivered tour around the Plaka, Anafiotika, Monastiraki Square to mention a few. This tour is an absolutely must if you want to get to know the old city of Athens, it’s culture and history, and finish tour with an authentic meze dinner at a local favorite restaurant.
Hello Sonnyfoodietraveler, we are so glad you enjoyed your time with us in Athens. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. We hope to see you again soon on your next trip to Greece:)
Wow! So loved our Athens Highlight tour with Penelope! She is so delightful, personable and knowledgeable on so many various aspects of Grecian history, both recent and ancient. As a certified archeologist and tour guide she gracefully laid out our highlights tour in a very walkable and fascinating route through neighborhoods around the Acropolis. Very easy to understand and presented all the facts clearly and effectively so as not to lose the attention of my travel exhaust 13 year old child. For that, I am very grateful! Truly enjoyed seeing lots of historic landmarks and feeling grounded as to where I was in relation to our hotel. And the meze dinner.... wow! As my child is a very picky eater, Penelope was able to find a fantastic taverna that satisfied my desire for authentic Greek dishes and my child's desire for typical bland food. We were both quite satisfied and it is a meal I will always remember.. historic landmarks
Hello KE, Your kind words are the best reward we could hope for! We are glad you appreciated the skill and personality of Penelope. We aim to make our guests feel welcome while getting valuable insight into the history and culture of our country. Thank you for your positive feedback and we hope to see you and your child again in the near future!
My advice is, as soon as you arrive, book a tour with Greeking.me and get a solid foundation for your exploration of Athens for the week ahead. It seems that majority of tourists use Athens as a stopover on the way to the islands. As a result, they will see Acropolis and try gyros on Monastiraki square, while missing out on all the other treasures. We spent a whole week in Athens in October 2020 and this was not enough. There is so much to see in Athens museums and open air sites, you need at least a month to do this city justice. If you want to quickly determine which monuments you want to see up close and have an overall understanding of Athens history, an introductory tour in the first day or two on your holiday is a must. We booked Athens Higlights Evening Tour and our guide Penelope was an absolute delight. We spent more than 3 hours walking streets of Athens , absorbing history and ancient tales. Penelope was great at engaging my daughter, who is 9 and has Ancient Greece as part of her school curriculum this year, and making parallels with mythology. At each of the sites Penelope gave us detailed description of the history and background to the monument. She was able to show us on her iPad how some of the characters looked like , or how a certain temple or a building were used when they were first built. I thought iPad material was a great addition to a walking tour, especially for my daughter as it was much easier for her to imagine how things would have looked like when they were first built. We did not go inside any of the historical sites or buildings during the tour. However, with Penelope’s guidance we were able to determine which ones we wanted to visit during our stay in Athens and went there on other days. For example, Penelope pointed out a couple of churches, which she suggested we could visit during the day. We did come back to a couple of them later in a week, and I thought that Penelope’s recommendations were spot on. Overall, I could not think of better guide and a better organisation of the tour from Greeking. me. Booking process was straightforward and Greeking.me was always responsive on the emails. I thought the tour was a perfect start to our holiday in Athens and would definitely appeal to families with school aged kids.
Katya, Thank you for your detailed and flattering review. We are over the moon that you consider our ‘Athens Highlights Evening Tour with Meze Dinner’ tour ‘the best way to explore Athens’. This is all we can hope to achieve. We appreciate that you recognize the worth and beauty of Athens, and not misconceive it as a ‘stepping stone’ to the Greek islands. Penelope is an excellent guide full of knowledge, and her connection with kids is amazing to see! We are glad that her recommendations improved your trip and we will make sure she knows how you felt about her. When designing our trips, our motivation is the love we nurture for our country and the desire to communicate it to the rest of the world. Your review is the best reward we could ask for, especially during those difficult times. We hope to see you again as soon as possible and share with you even more of Greece’s beauties!

Eleni was a wonderful guide and made us feel instantly at home in Athens. We visited several of the same sites during the day after our evening tour and we all agreed that they are most beautiful at night. Eleni used her media device to add detail to her presentation and it really helped us understand the history better. The meal was great, too. Thanks for a great tour!

We had the best time on our tour with Penelope! She was everything you would want a local guide to be- extremely knowledgeable, warm, and welcoming. We loved that she had an iPad with her to show us how sites might have looked thousands of years ago. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone

My tour guide, Elen,i did an awesome job showing me the beautiful historical sights and different parts of the city during our night walking tour. She was very knowledgeable of the history and great places to visit in the area. I’d recommend taking this tour the first day of your visit to get recommendations on things to see the remainder of your trip - which she recommended based on my interests. We finished the evening with a delicious meal where she recommended popular Greek dishes that I never would have thought to order. Thanks, Eleni!
