Overview
Join Athens’ spookiest night tour — where history slips into shadow.
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.
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. 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.
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.
