Walking in Athens

Athens layers three thousand years in one walkable centre. Tours circle the Acropolis hill through Plaka's whitewashed lanes and the Roman and ancient agoras, then move on to Monastiraki's flea market, Anafiotika's island-like alleys and the street art of Psyri. Good guides connect democracy, mythology and the modern city you are standing in.

Good to know: The polished marble around the Acropolis is slippery: shoes with grip help, and so does a hat in summer.
