Athens is a city of hidden depth, where ancient relics and forgotten stories peek out from unassuming facades.
On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll peel back the layers of the Greek capital to discover secluded squares, lesser-known historical sites, and atmospheric corners that most visitors never see.
Your walk starts at Syntagma Square. You’ll weave through the elegant Kolonaki district with its upscale boutiques and stylish cafés, and explore the lush National Zappeion Garden. Along the way, you’ll climb marble staircases to hidden parks and discover neoclassical mansions tucked behind modest exteriors.
As you make your way through the heart of the old Commercial Triangle, I’ll tell you about the magnificent public works that Emperor Hadrian built, transforming Athens. The tour ends at the unique Byzantine chapel of Agios Ioannis tis Kolonas, where an ancient Corinthian column – once believed to have healing powers – rises mysteriously through the roof.
