Witness some of Athens’ greatest contrasts on this tour ranging from the Old Royal Palace and the city’s posh areas to the hotbed of rebellious young students and thinkers! It’s no mystery why Athens is one of Europe’s most interesting places as it is home to both ancient and modern spaces. See Athens the way Athenians see it, beautiful and yet often messy and on this tour you don’t just see the city, you immerse yourself in the true tradition of Greek hospitality

Behold the buildings of amazing architecture that reflect the vision of modern Athens as a successor to the glory that was Ancient Athens. Between spaces you see gentrified neighborhoods, funky bars and art corners, jewelry designer shops, vintage clothing stores and more.

Don’t forget to swing by the flea market, one of the liveliest neighborhoods of the city, where the old and the new generations still meet today! By the end of our tour, we hope that you’ll have seen the true soul of Athens and its people, a city with a thousand stories still standing, as it has since ancient times, right on the border between the East and the West.
