A walking tour of Athens is the perfect way to get a feel for the city. With an experienced guide, you will see the main attractions and learn how Athens' past lives on in its present. Here are the main tourist spots you should pay attention to.                 

Acropolis 

The Acropolis is the calling card of the city and all of Greece. The Parthenon, Erechtheion, and other monuments of ancient Greek civilization rise here. This place will allow you to literally touch ancient history. The entrance ticket costs 20 euros (in the off-season – 10 euros).

Ancient Agora 

The Agora was the center of Athenian public life, where philosophers, politicians, and merchants gathered. You will see the restored Stoa of Attalos, the Temple of Hephaestus, and the remains of the ancient market square. The ticket costs 10 euros, combined with the Acropolis – 30 euros.

Temple of Olympian Zeus

The huge Temple of Olympian Zeus will impress you with its size and architectural power. Only the columns remain, but they convey the scale of the idea. Entrance fee: 6 euros. A visit to this place is also included in the general ticket for archaeological sites.

Anafiotika 

This picturesque area at the foot of the Acropolis is reminiscent of the Cycladic islands – white houses, narrow streets, and flowering plants. A walk through Anafiotika will give you a sense of calm away from the city noise. So be sure to include this place in your itinerary.
