Activity itinerary

Aristotle's Lyceum

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
At the site of the Lyceum of Aristotle, you’ll step into the grounds where Aristotle once taught and walked with his students. More than just ruins, this was a vibrant centre of philosophy, science, and physical training. As you move through the remains, your guide will bring to life the daily rhythms of the ancient school and the ideas that shaped Western thought.

Ardittos Hill

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Crossing the peaceful slopes of Ardettus Hill, you’ll enjoy a perspective of Athens that blends nature with history. From here, you’ll take in views of the Panathenaic Stadium—the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble—and hear stories of the Panathenaic Games. Nearby lie the subtle remains of the Temple of Tyche, a reminder of the ancient city’s devotion to fortune and fate, often overlooked by passersby.

First Cemetery of Athens

  • 20m
  • Admission ticket not included
Hidden in plain sight, the First Cemetery of Athens is far more than a burial ground—it’s an open-air gallery of sculpture and memory. Walking among neoclassical tombs and intricate monuments, you’ll encounter works by renowned Greek artists, including the iconic Sleeping Maiden. This serene space tells stories of modern Greek history, art, and identity in a uniquely quiet and reflective setting.

Temple of Olympian Zeus

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
Along the way, you’ll pause in the charming Mets district for a relaxing break, visit the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and uncover hidden locations—including a monument shaped by three different historical periods and other unexpected stops revealed during the tour.

Athens City Museum

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The experience concludes at the First Palace of Athens, bringing together ancient and modern history into one continuous storey. By the end of the walk, Athens will no longer feel like isolated landmarks, but a living storey unfolding all around you.
