Athens: Archaeological Sites Day Tour

Athens ancient culture,
in 3 hours

If you want to explore the complex ruins more easily, try a 3-hour walking tour where you can see everything about Athens' ruins with a local English-speaking guide! Athens is a representative city-state in Greece and has many historic sites that preserve its history, such as the Acropolis, the Roman Agora, and the Parthenon.

The walking tour begins at Syntagma Metro Station, where your guide will take you on a tour of the archaeological sites around this historic square, before continuing on to the Houses of Parliament and the Monument to the Unknown Soldier, where you can see the Changing of the Guard ceremony.   Visit the National Gardens of Athens and see the neoclassical Zapeion. In front of Zapeion, you can see the towering columns that once belonged to the Temple of Zeus and Hadrian's Arch.

Admire the monuments of the Acropolis

As you enter the Plaka district, one of Athens' oldest districts, walk past a portrait of Melina Mercouri, one of Greece's most famous movie stars and politicians. You can continue walking along the winding pedestrian streets, past bustling cafes. Then climb to the Acropolis for stunning views of the city below. Your guide will also explain about the monuments near the Acropolis, including the Parthenon, Erechtheion Propylaea, Temple of Athena Nike, Temple of Dionysus, and Philopaphos Hill.

All at once with fast track

Tours allow you to purchase tickets in advance for each archaeological site and museum you visit, or save time waiting at the ticket booth. I also recommend a walking tour in Athens, including the famous sites, as it is an opportunity to experience a harmonious meeting of ancient and modern times. Explore Athens with your guide telling the hidden stories of Athens, gain insight into its history and culture, and create unforgettable memories.
