What you'll see and do
Plateia Syntagmatos
We start our walking tour at Syntagma Square ("Constitution Square"), which is the central square of Athens. The square is named after the Constitution that Otto, the first King of Greece, was obliged to grant after a popular and military uprising on September 3, 1843. It is located in front of the 19th-century Old Royal Palace, housing the Greek Parliament since 1934. Highlight: Gleaming with white marble and beautiful statues, the square is a magnet for people, locals and tourists.

Monument to the Unknown Soldier
We cross the street towards the Parliament to see the Changing of the Guards: The changing of the guards takes place every hour by the military unit whose members, Evzones, stand proudly in perfect stillness in front of the Parliament. The Evzones are a special unit of the Hellenic Army, also known as Tsoliades, whose role is to guard the Monument of the Unknown Soldier, a war memorial located in front of the Parliament, dedicated to Greek soldiers killed during wars.

Ermou Street
We continue our walking tour, on Ermou street. Ermou Street ("Hermes Street") is one of the first roads designed in modern Athens and one of the main arteries of Athens' first town plan. Thanks to this fact, we can still admire numerous neoclassical buildings while crossing Ermou Street. Nowadays, it is a base for shopping, cafes and hotels.
25 minutes here
Church of Kapnikarea
We will visit one of the oldest churches in Athens, the Byzantine Church of Panaghia Kapnikarea situated in a small square on Ermou Street.
20 minutes here
Agia Irini Church
We are now continuing the tour heading to Agia Eirini square, a neighborhood dear to locals, situated behind the former Cathedral Church of Athens, Agia Eirini.
20 minutes here
Psiri
We pass through Psiri, the alternative neighborhood full of street art. Once known for its small industries nowadays it is mostly known for vivid nightlife and street food locales. It is an area loved by locals and it is also characterized by its secondhand market teeming with jewelry, furniture, clothing, books, etc.
20 minutes here
Avysinias Square
Right after that, our walking tour enters Abyssinia square (flea market). Athens' rich cultural heritage is reflected in the wares found in its markets. In Abyssinia Square, you will find a wide variety of treasures. The diverse cultural history of Athens is represented in many of the items, from traditional Greek embroidery to Ottoman glassware to pottery from the Aegean. There are also vintage books, rare medical and musical instruments, maps, silverware and furniture for sale.
20 minutes here
Monastiraki
Then passing through the cobbled alleys of Monastiraki square, we reach Plaka’s main street, Adrianou Street, the ideal place for souvenir hunting.
15 minutes here
Then Mnisikleous street, with its famous “stairs”, introduces us to the neighborhood of Plaka. Strolling among its labyrinth streets, we will explore Plaka’s hidden squares, marvel at the elegant architecture of the surrounding buildings and small chapels and witness the charm and alluring ambiance of the oldest neighborhood in Athens. Highlights: Plaka has rightfully gained its nickname as the “Neighborhood of the Gods” as it’s built for the large part on top of the ancient city of Athens and it’s nestled right below the Acropolis among several monuments that still glow with the city’s erstwhile glory. End of our walking tour: We end the walking tour right in the heart of Plaka leaving you in the perfect place to continue exploring the glorious city of Athens and delving into the local culture.

Athens Walking Tour Private: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens Walking Tour Private cost?
+
Prices start at €76 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 Walking Tour Private take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Walking Tour Private worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Walking Tour Private?
+
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 Walking Tour Private suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Athens Walking Tour Private?
+
Around 0 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Athens Walking Tour Private 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 Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. 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.
What is included in Athens Walking Tour Private?
+
Included: All Fees and Taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Athens Walking Tour Private?
+
Our Meeting point: Ermou 2, Athina 105 57, Greece We will meet at the corner of Ermou Street & Syntagma Square, where is the McDonalds, 15’ before the start of the tour. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Athens Walking Tour Private offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Athens Walking Tour Private?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

+
