Hi, hello and kalimerra! My name is Eqbal Naseri and I am currently living in Athens, Greece! I am very passionate about this city and hope to show you all of the beautiful and amazing places around the city that has inspired me to become a tour guide. I hope you find the options below helpful when picking out which type of tour you would like to go on. If you have any other questions about the city or my tours you can send me an email and I would love to answer any and all questions for you! *Please schedule the tour one day in advance to make sure i can give you a tour. This allows me to review my tour schedule and give you a response about the tour.9 thank you Tour start time and duration: • Monday- Friday: 6pm- 9pm and approximately 1-1.5 & 3 hours. • Saturday and Sunday: Anytime during the day and approximately 1-1.5 & 3 hours depending on what all you would like to see. The Amazing Tour (options) Option 1: We will go walk around The National Garden which is a public park covering about 38 acres. Inside you will find nice places to take a picnic, many monuments, statues, ponds and a few animals. Next, we will go to the highest point in Athens known as the Lykavittos Hill. This point is 277 meters above the city and offers a wonderful view for amazing photos! We will end the tour with watching the sunset and getting to take in all the beauty that Athens has to offer. The sunset part of the tour is usually the top favorite part of the tour. Option 2: We will go walk around The National Garden (much like option 1) and you can choose the duration of time you would like to spend there. Next, we will go see a museum, this doesn’t require any money, but you will learn some history and fun facts during this portion of the tour. Lastly, I will show you some of my favorite and more secret spots that not all tourists get to see while in Athens. Here you will be able to take great photos and watch the sunset. Option 3: We will go inside the Parthenon and Acropolis museum that you wish to see while here. This tour does require ticket purchase *. Option 4: We can go on a food tour around the city while seeing some amazing sites, street art and just touring the cultural neighborhoods of Greece. On this tour we can try food from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Indian, Chinese, traditional Greek food and other bars. If you would like to mix it up or see something else just shoot me a message. I have done many tours more focused on different foods to try in Athens such as crepes, coffees, falafel, gyros and so much more! I have also given tours at the near beaches and know great spots to spend the day in the sun! *Note: Option 1&2 do not require any money but Option 3 requires the purchase of your ticket into the museums as well as my ticket. (usually about 20-30 euros per person depending on the season). Helpful Tips for Greece: From the airport you can either take the metro, bus or taxi. A great spot to tell the taxi is Syntagma which is near the center of Athens. • The taxi will cost you around 36 euros or 40 USD. This option is the fastest of course, but most expensive. • To take the metro you will need to purchase a temporary metro card from one of the machines. This will cost you about 10 euro into the city and takes roughly an hour depending on where you are going. • The last option is the bus X95 takes you to the city as well. The bus takes a longer time but is the least expensive option for around 6 euros. Grocery Stores: • AB, Lidl, OK! Anytime Markets, Bazaar Discount For accommodation and places to stay: Airbnb: there is many options to stay using Airbnb in Athens. Most places cost between 23-35 euros depending on the area. The Stanley Hotel: this option is more expensive but has many perks. You can find a standard hotel room for around 90 euros. This option is great is if you are looking for a rooftop pool with a wonderful view of Acropolis. This place also has a gym, sauna, rooftop restaurant, free buffet breakfast and is directly near a metro stop only one or two stops away from Monastraki station. There are many other hotels in Athens ranging from 35 -120 euros… even 600 euros if you want. Hostels: Acropolis View Dream Hostel, Athens Backpackers, Bedbox, Zorbas Hostel and Welcommon Hostel.
