Description
Visit the Acropolis early to avoid the heat and explore its history in peace. Complete your experience with a tour of Plaka and discover one of Athens' last historic public baths.
Discover the Acropolis and the charm of Athens on this exclusive small-group morning tour, designed to beat the heat and crowds while exploring the city's historical and cultural treasures.
Begin your experience by meeting your expert guide at the Key Tours office. From there, head to the southern slope of the Acropolis, where you can admire the Sanctuary of Dionysus and the historic Theater of Dionysus, the birthplace of drama and comedy. Climb the hill to the heart of the Acropolis and have your camera ready to capture the most iconic monuments: the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the Pedestal of Agrippa.
After exploring the Acropolis and descending, see other gems of Athens, such as the Ancient Agora and the National Observatory of Athens. Next, immerse yourself in the unique Plaka district, a charming corner of the city steeped in history and character. In Anafiotika, Plaka's most picturesque neighborhood, wander through quiet alleys and admire whitewashed houses with carved doors and brightly colored shutters. Discover secret spots and hidden gems as your guide shares fascinating stories about this mystical neighborhood.
The tour will NEXT take you to the Baths of the Winds, the only surviving public bath in Athens from the early Ottoman period (1453â??1669), located near the Roman Forum and the Tower of the Winds. You'll pass other notable landmarks, such as the Fethiye Mosque Museum and Hadrian's Library, ending in the vibrant Monastiraki Square, one of the city's oldest and most iconic squares.
At the FINAL of the tour, take the opportunity to visit the famous flea market, a great place to find unique souvenirs and discover authentic treasures. Or simply relax with a coffee or lunch in one of the quaint taverns in the area, creating unforgettable memories of your visit to Athens.

Repetiría sin dudar
Mucho mejor de lo que imaginaba. Muy bien que incluyera tour A Pie. Muy buen guía, atento con todo el grupo y con paciencia infinita. La música estaba algo fuerte para conversar. Sin dudas una de las mejores experiencias del viaje.

Cumple y sobra
Realmente valió cada peso. Salió todo en horario, sin sobresaltos. El entrada A La Acrópolis (depende De La Opción Elegida) vale por sí solo. Lo recomiendo sin dudar.

We picked it from the photos and it was even better in person. We paid noticeably less than other options and the experience was just as good. Plaka ended up in all our photos. A printed map was missing, everything relied on the phone.

Ideal para conhecer a cidade
Não poderia ter sido melhor. Não pode perder UNESCO World Heritage Site. Comparando com fazer por conta própria, compensa. A equipe em terra foi atenciosa desde o primeiro contato. Faltou informação sobre quais atrações estavam em manutenção. Já recomendei para dois amigos que viajam no mês que vem.

Would repeat in a heartbeat
A really well rounded experience. The pre booking support answered all our questions clearly. Compared with doing it yourself, it works out well. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Atenas.
