Stop At: Plaka, Athens, Attica

Hidden Athens walking tour starts outside of the Benaki museum where we meet our guide.
We start off with a stroll through the streets of Plaka, the old town of Athens. In this picturesque, historic neighborhood we will follow along a maze of cobbled streets lined with numerous examples of Neoclassical architecture, Byzantine churches, and busy shops.
On the northernmost streets of Plaka, lies the area known as Anafiotika, an idyllic cluster of whitewashed houses that are reminiscent of buildings in the Greek islands. In the 19th century workers from the Anafi island of Cyclades, homesick for their native island life, built these houses and painted them bright white to remind themselves of home.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Areopagus, Athens, Attica

While listening to some of the stories about the area and its history from our guide, we walk to the Rock of Ares (Areopagus), which is just a bit further up the slopes of the Acropolis on Mars Hill. The colossal rock marks the site that once was the supreme court of ancient Athens, a place that is also surrounded by tombs of former Kings.
