Activity Info

Start your day in Athens the perfect way: with an early morning exploration of the iconic Acropolis, guided by an expert on this exclusive small-group tour. Begin at the Key Tours office and head to the south slope of the Acropolis, where you’ll discover the captivating Dionysus Sanctuary and the ancient Dionysus Theater.

Ascend the historic hill to the Acropolis, camera in hand, ready to capture unforgettable shots of legendary landmarks like the Parthenon, Erechtheion, Propylaea, Temple of Athena Nike, and the Pedestal of Agrippa. As you take in these awe-inspiring monuments, your guide will unravel their history and significance, bringing the ancient world vividly to life.

After exploring the Acropolis, journey downhill to witness breathtaking views of Athens’ most cherished sites, including the Ancient Agora and the National Observatory. From there, dive into the enchanting neighborhood of Plaka. Escape the city’s hustle and bustle as you meander through Anafiotika, the serene, picturesque heart of Plaka. Marvel at its charming whitewashed houses, colorful shutters, and hidden corners brimming with stories and secrets.

Your journey continues to the historic Bathhouse of the Winds, the last surviving public bathhouse from the Turkish rule era. Nearby, explore the Roman Forum, the Fethiye Mosque Museum, and Hadrian’s Library, before arriving at Monastiraki Square, one of the oldest and most vibrant spots in Athens.

End your tour by exploring the famous flea market, a treasure trove for unique finds. Or, savor a delicious meal or refreshing coffee at one of the picturesque cafes nearby. This is more than a tour—it’s a journey through time, culture, and the unforgettable charm of Athens. Make memories that will last a lifetime!
