Our Guides
On arrival
We will meet outside Syntagma metro station, exit towards Panepistimiou. There is a big metro sign in front of a GB Corner store, that's where you'll see me. I want to keep our groups to a reasonable size for everyone to enjoy the experience, so booking is STRONGLY advisable.
If you're coming by foot, head towards Syntagma, to the left of the square (looking towards the Parliament) you will find the Hotel Grande Bretagne, turn the corner on Venizelos/Panepistimiou street, and you'll find the metro sign in front of the Gb Corner store.
