What you’ll do
Spend half a day exploring Athens and experience what makes it so unique. From the historical landmarks to centuries of history around the city and bustling markets to a thriving contemporary art scene, your host will tailor an experience around your wishes.
Perhaps start by exploring the Ancient Agora, a tranquil oasis in the city center that was once the heart of ancient Athens. From there, you could head to Monastiraki Flea Market, where you'll find an eclectic mix of antiques, souvenirs, and local crafts.
Or you could head to the trendy neighborhoods of Psirri or Gazi and immerse yourself in Athens' thriving contemporary art scene while wandering through charming alleyways, admiring the neoclassical architecture and traditional tavernas.
And if it's a quintessentially Greek experience you're after, why not visit the historic district of Plaka and then indulge in traditional Greek cuisine at a local taverna? You could try local specialties like moussaka, dolmades, or souvlaki and wash it down with a glass of ouzo or raki.
