Hello dear visitors! I'm George and it will be my pleasure to be your guide in this alternative downtown tour of the historical center.

Will then continue on to the House of the Greek Parliament, the Monument to the Unknown Soldier where will watch the changing of the guards, a classic but sacred moment of our city tradition.

Our tour continues towards the National Gardens and onto the neoclassical building of Zappeion Mansion, the worldwide famous ceremonie's hall.

Will, then, meet the Presidential hall at the famous Herodou Attikou str. and will pass to reach the Panathenaic stadium, the place where the Olympic games took place at the first time, in the ancient times.

From there we walk towards the Philopappos Hill under the sacred Hill of Acropolis through the beautiful pedestrian walkway of Dionysiou Areopagitou.
