Sadly TripAdvisor had the tour listed at a later start time so we missed the tour, but the guy I spoke to about it was very understanding and started the refund process right away. Very helpful and sympathetic which is why I gave a high rating

Description
Join Athens' spookiest night tour, where history seeps into shadow. Begin at Monastiraki Square, where the flea market's lively vibe turns eerie after dark. Ruins and alleys whisper ghostly tales, restless spirits, and forgotten crimes. Venture into the Roman Forum, echoing with emperors' whispers and public spectacles. Plaka's backstreets hide secrets beneath cobblestones. At the Acropolis' foot, feel its nighttime power, a place of ancient power and sacrifice. Hadrian's Arch beckons, a gateway between worlds, with tales of love, loss, and lingering spirits. The Temple of Olympian Zeus looms, reminding us of gods and the fear they inspired. End at the National Library, where modern Athens connects with its unsettled past, and the night's stories linger.

Itinerary
Monastiraki Square
We begin at Monastiraki Square, where the lively flea market takes on a darker personality after nightfall. Among the ruins and winding alleys, ghostly rumors, restless spirits, and long-forgotten crimes still cling to the stones.
From there, we move through the Roman Forum, where echoes of emperors, prisoners, and public spectacles linger in the dark. Entering the backstreets of Plaka, the city’s oldest neighborhood, we uncover stories hidden beneath the cobblestones.
Acropolis
Walking at the foot of the Acropolis, we take in its dramatic nighttime presence from below — a place where power, judgment, and sacrifice once ruled.
Arch of Hadrian
Continuing south, we arrive at Hadrian’s Arch, the symbolic gateway between worlds, where tales of love, loss, and spirits that refuse to move on still circulate.
Temple of Olympian Zeus
Nearby, the towering columns of the Temple of Olympian Zeus emerge from the darkness, reminding us of gods who demanded devotion — and the fear that followed them.
We finish at the National Library, via Syntagma Square, closing the night with stories that connect modern Athens to its unsettled past.

Nice tour.
Unfortunately, the appointment could not take place initially because our reservation was not forwarded. The staff in Sweden were very helpful and offered us a tour the next day. We accepted this offer. The guide, Dimitra, was very nice and explained everything clearly and interestingly. A bit more information would have been appreciated.
