Family Archaeology Experience in Athens with an Archaeologist

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

Skip the usual sightseeing and experience archaeology as a family.

In this hands-on workshop, children and adults work side by side to excavate, wash and identify archaeological finds while learning how real archaeologists reconstruct the past.

Together, you'll uncover the story of an ancient Greek household, handle museum-quality replicas, solve archaeological puzzles, and discover what everyday life looked like over 2,000 years ago.

The workshop is led by a trained archaeologist in a peaceful hidden garden in central Athens. No previous experience is needed—just curiosity.

Perfect for families with children aged 5+, this small-group experience combines learning, teamwork and fun, giving both children and adults the chance to become archaeologists for a day.

What to expect

Give your children the chance to become archaeologists for a day while you join the adventure together.

Your family will excavate buried artefacts using real archaeological tools, then wash, identify and interpret your discoveries with the help of a professional archaeologist.

Young archaeologists will sketch their finds, just like on a real excavation, solve the mystery of who lived in an ancient Greek house, and discover what children, families and craftsmen did over 2,000 years ago.

Along the way, children will enjoy creative activities inspired by Ancient Greece, handle museum-quality replicas and complete their own archaeological investigation.

At the end of the workshop, every child takes home one archaeological find as a special souvenir of their adventure.

Parents don't just watch—they excavate, solve puzzles and discover the ancient world together with their children.
