After meeting with a member of the Be a Greek team outside the Acropolis Metro Station (Makrigianni str.) you will enjoy a 4h long walking tour in the heart of Athens, during which you will have the opportunity to appreciate the strong bond between the ancient and the modern parts of the capital of Greece.

Our path will initially take us in front of the new Acropolis Museum and we will continue towards the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a stone theatre structure located on the southwest slope of the Acropolis. Afterwards we will enjoy one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the world, with the entire city of Athens at our feet and the Temple of Athena  above us.

We will continue our walk entering the most folkloristic neighborhood in Athens, the Anafiotika, which is situated just downhill from the Acropolis of Athens, a symbol of architectural perfection and knowledge throughout the last 25 centuries. The Ancient Roman Agora will be our next stop, allowing us to admire the Tower of Winds and we will continue heading towards the famous Monastiraki District with its Flea Market . A brief 30 minute break will follow, offering you the pleasure of tasting a traditional Greek coffee, some tea or another beverage of your liking and then we will admire the Metropolitan Cathedral of our city.

Walking by the famous Ermou Street, the most important commercial road in Athens, which takes its name by the Greek God Hermes (in Greek Ermis), protector of commerce, we will arrive at the central and most famous square of Athens, Syntagma Square, where, in front of the Hellenic Parliament, you will witness one of the oldest traditions in Greece, the Changing of the Presidential Guard. Passing through the underground archeological exhibition at the Syntagma Metro Station will take us to the National Garden, where you will be able to relax with your family and enjoy feeding the animals in display.

After passing in front of thePresidential Palace  we will continue to the Panathenaic Stadium (also known as the Kallimarmaron), the biggest stadium in the world constructed exclusively by marble.
