Athens

Itineraries with Podtour

  1. 1 day

    Begin with The Acropolis from Outside: the Walk, the Theatre and the Areopagus Free. Rest, then continue towards the hillside with Plaka beneath the Acropolis: the Catalans, the Last Siege and Anafiotika, leaving room for slopes and pauses.

  2. 2 days

    Day 1: follow the first plan. Day 2: Legends of Monastiraki and Plaka: mosques, dervishes and Byzantine churches and nearby Socrates' Agora and the Pnyx: from the trial to the guidebooks' prison. Only add the climb to the Pnyx if you have the energy and time.

  3. 3 days

    Days 1 and 2: follow the earlier plans. Day 3: Syntagma and Panepistimiou: How Greece Built Its Capital. Use the rest for an interior or a break rather than another crossing of the city.

Athens, before you go

Shade helps shape the walk here. Between city pavements, smooth rock and lanes beneath the Acropolis, a flexible plan and a bottle of water go a long way.
