2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 4 more

Join Athens' spookiest night tour, where history seeps into shadow. Begin at Monastiraki Square, where the flea market's lively vibe turns eerie after dark. Ruins and alleys whisper ghostly tales, restless spirits, and forgotten crimes. Venture into the Roman Forum, echoing with emperors' whispers and public spectacles. Plaka's backstreets hide secrets beneath cobblestones. At the Acropolis' foot, feel its nighttime power, a place of ancient power and sacrifice. Hadrian's Arch beckons, a gateway between worlds, with tales of love, loss, and lingering spirits. The Temple of Olympian Zeus looms, reminding us of gods and the fear they inspired. End at the National Library, where modern Athens connects with its unsettled past, and the night's stories linger.
