Make your own way to the KeyTours Greece office on Athanasiou Diakou to join your guide and group before departure.

Enter the Acropolis Hill from the south slope and visit the ancient Sanctuary and Theatre of Dionysus, birthplace of Greek drama.

Climb to the hilltop and take in the monumental gateway of the Propylaea, the elegant Temple of Athena Nike, and the Parthenon itself.

Head back downhill and pause to take in the sweeping view over the Ancient Agora, once the beating heart of civic and commercial life in Athens.

Pass by the neoclassical National Observatory building, perched on the Hill of the Nymphs with its own panoramic outlook over the city.

Arrive in Plaka and stroll its narrow, winding streets lined with neoclassical houses, small churches, and neighbourhood cafés.

Visit the Bathhouse of the Winds, the sole surviving Ottoman-era public bath in Athens — a quietly extraordinary building that most visitors overlook entirely.

Reach Monastiraki and pass three more layers of Athens' layered history: the Roman Forum, the Fethiye Mosque Museum, and the grand remains of Hadrian's Library.

The tour concludes at Monastiraki Square, leaving you well-placed to explore further, find lunch, or head to your next stop.
