Great Athens activity to do!
Amazing experience and a great way to see a different side of Athens! Thank you for a great ghost tour 👻
via Tripadvisor
A decent walk for an amazing tale!
Our guide Angela had great stories to tell and knew well how to tell them. Our group was adults and older teens so she was able to tell some of the stories more fully. From hidden cult tunnels to ancient suicides we loved our adventure.

Hidden cult tunnels to Socrates' suicide
Angela our guide made sure we got the spooky, the history and the downright frightening! Meetup is easy to find, her directions were clear and even helped us avoid notoriously slippery spots on some hills. We enjoy ghost tours when we travel because how can you appreciate how a city lives if you don't know it's dark secrets?

Very informative
Nice walk during which we learned some interesting stories and information. Angela was great. Unfortunately it was just us in the group. I guess it would be better if it was a bigger group.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Athens Ghost Tour & Paranormal Investigation: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens Ghost Tour & Paranormal Investigation cost?
+
Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Athens Ghost Tour & Paranormal Investigation take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Athens Ghost Tour & Paranormal Investigation worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 90 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Athens Ghost Tour & Paranormal Investigation?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Athens Ghost Tour & Paranormal Investigation suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Athens Ghost Tour & Paranormal Investigation?
+
Around 31 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Athens Ghost Tour & Paranormal Investigation start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
