Great tour!

 

I so enjoyed my walking tour with Vasilios - he was very knowledgable, gave me an insiders tour of the fish/meat market with a stop for a little bite to eat- something I would not have seen otherwise. This was a great beginning to a lovely stay in Athens!

From the millennia-old history of Athens to the current political situation in Greece, he knew how to report in perfect German, rich in anecdotes. The orientation tour started at Monastiraki Square, took us through the Agora and around the Acropolis.
