Advice for an Athens City Tour?

[AlexiaTravels]

Last time I was in Athens, I did the hop on hop off as my city tour. I like those because you can get on and off at your leisure and use it as a way to get around the city.

I am going to be in Athens again, and I want to do a different type of tour this time. Maybe something historical. Do you guys have any recommendations?

I have done a straight up tour of the Acropolis, I was looking for something a bit more expansive.

Sure, I have a great recommendation for you! Since you've already toured the Acropolis, you might enjoy a guided walking tour of Athens' historical neighborhoods. Look for tours that explore Plaka, Anafiotika, and Monastiraki.

These areas are rich with history, picturesque streets, and hidden gems. You’ll get to see ancient ruins, Byzantine churches, and Ottoman architecture. Some tours even include visits to local markets and tastings of traditional Greek foods. It's a fantastic way to dive deeper into the city’s history and culture beyond the well-trodden paths.
