Best things to do in Greece

  • Insular Beauty In The Heart Of Athens

    Insular Beauty In The Heart Of Athens

    A time-capsuled gem lies in the shadow of Acropolis. Anafiotika is a scenic neighborhood which climbs up the Rock of Acropolis. It came to life after some construction workers from the island of Anafi built their houses there. This is why this area resembles a Greek island. The current residents keep the buildings as they used to be in an attempt to preserve an atmosphere from a past era. Anafiotika could be labeled as the most surprising area in Athens. It is not every day that you see an island background in the center of a capital. Anafiotika is worth your visit!

  • The Athletic Point Of View

    The Athletic Point Of View

    Kallimarmaro, also known as the Panathenaic Stadium, is a sports stadium with rich history. During the ancient times, it hosted the Panathenaic Games to honor the Goddess Athena.

  • A Walk Up The Philopappou Hill

    A Walk Up The Philopappou Hill

    This city's destination is one you should not miss out on. It is situated right across Acropolis and, thus, it provides with fertile soil for artistic photography material. Let us not forget, though, that the view from up there is not the only element that visitors can enjoy. On the highest point of Philopappos Hill you can locate a monument. This monument is part of the Mausoleum in which Philopappos was buried. The sculpture of the monument is one to draw attention!

  • Acropolis Through The Eyes Of An Artist

    Acropolis Through The Eyes Of An Artist

    One of the most alternative things to do in Athens is to experience the city's most important attraction, Acropolis, through the eyes of an artist. You can schedule a painting session with an local artist/host who can both introduce you into the world of painting but he will also provide you with a rare view of Acropolis. This outdoor painting experience merges with the sightseeing opportunity and equals authenticity and excitement.

  • Embark On A Sightseeing Adventure

    Embark On A Sightseeing Adventure

    One of Athens' most significant reminders of the past is the Theater of Dionysus. It used to be the meeting point of the city's intellectuals thousands of years ago. This theater held numerous celebrations in honor of the god Dionysus, god of wine. These celebrations included the performance of many outstanding theater plays.
    A visit to the Theater of Dionysus is one of the most significant things to do in Athens. Such visit is highly recommended during spring or summer since this monument is open-air.

    Authentic Greece, Truly Memorable

    "Our overall experience was exceptional. From our first conversation, Thomas took the time to understand what we wanted and thoughtfully crafted an itinerary that included the iconic highlights of Athens while also incorporating several unique locations known primarily through his personal expertise. These special additions provided a deeper, more authentic perspective of Athens, its history, and its culture, giving us a much richer experience than we could have achieved on our own. Thomas is truly an ambassador for Greece. His passion, knowledge, and storytelling brought each destination to life and made the day both memorable and rewarding. If you are looking for an authentic Greek perspective and want to experience the country beyond the typical tourist attractions, I highly recommend Thomas. You will not be disappointed."

    Great experience with Alex!

    "Alex was a joy to travel with. He was punctual, kind, and had a great energy. He brought visual aids which enhanced the overall experience and helped with learning about the culture and history of Athens. He was especially helpful as our family photographer; and a great one at that. His food tour was exquisite; cheeses and olives and gyros all from small local shops gave us a truly authentic Greek experience. Alex is a must-have tour guide. "

    "Spyros was a delightful guide. His affection for Athens is contagious. We walked through and learned a lot about a number of the neighborhoods. His stories about Greek mythology, ancient rulers, and more recent history all made for an excellent interdisciplinary tour experience. Thank you Spyros! "

    Best way to spend an evening in Athens!

    "Iannis took us on an incredible tour of Athens food and culture along the way. We learned about the markets, honey, traditional recipes, neighborhood life, and authentic Greek culture. At the end of the evening, we were stuffed with delicious Greek foods and fun facts, and we got to see some areas in Athens that we weren't able to squeeze into our very tight two days. Iannis is definitely funny, very kind, and I highly recommend seeing some of the best of Athens with him! "

    Real connection with a local

    "Ioannis spontaneously offered to customize our itinerary at the outset of the tour. He was flexible and generous. Ioannis is clearly a well traveled and deeply curious person having arrived the night before from India. He's also a lawyer and actor who feels strongly that theatre's role is to challenge us to think. I loved this. His knowledge was accordion-like. He was able to stretch on command and play keys simultaneously. He didn't pontificate and deliver his tour in a unilateral/scripted way but engaged in a wide ranging two way dialogue about contemporary Greek society and culture as well as many periods of history. For every question we asked, he had a ready answer--a perspective and compelling way of telescoping out to provide context to his entertaining stories. Many guides are so full of facts that you get a bit lost in not obviously relevant details. Not with him. What I loved most was that we got to know an educated, thoughtful person which, for me, is the reason I travel. He was present and knew how to give and take. This is one of those tours that will linger and be folded into the stories we tell about our travels in Greece. "

    Excellent tour with Amazing guide!

    "Costas was incredibly knowledgeable about the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, history of the site, and Greek Mythology. Costas walked us through the highlights of the museum providing great history and context for all the buildings, reliefs, and statues. The museum is beautiful and has a lot of information. Using a guide was so worthwhile and I would highly recommend it to everyone. Then walked us to the site to finish the tour. We loved this tour and Costas worth every penny!"
