Things to do in Syntagma Square

Doing the Athens city tour on the bus and Acropolis walk was the best decision I made. Haha~ Our guide Dimitris share lots of historical facts and it was fun. Yanis the driver smoothly navigated through the city center and drop us off at Acropolis. The attraction can be very crowded and a bit steep, but the guide manage us well ensuring no one is left behind. Do book this tour—it makes the ancient ruins come alive in a way no text can replicate!

Elena did a wonderful tour. provided culture lessons to each dishes. learned a fair beet of Greek food and what to look for in the area.

amazing Pantheon. worth each penny for the ticket. from high place you can see Athens and although it was cloudy on the day, everything is good. wait in a queue for about 10 mins to access,not a problem

great start to finish 9am on time and reached Athens station 11pm~. Shoutout to Yanis our driver, safe driver and Vassou our tour guide, she was friendly and knowledgeable!! saw 3 monasteries inside and they even brought us to view the 4th one although from outside as that closes early but it’s fine .. it’s the first monastery built and the most gorgeous one! worth the steps to visit all 3 monasteries. lunch was great too. only downside was the dinner which was very expensive , guess typical tourist trap euro20 for 2 souvlaki skewers w fries, salad and a water bottle. there’s other food options which I overheard other passengers complaining about the prices they had to pay as well. but other than that, beautiful trip! enough toilet breaks w toilets in the monasteries we visited

This Cape Sounion tour is a must-do when visiting Athens! The coastal drive is breathtaking (thanks to driver Panos), and the Temple of Poseidon at sunset is pure magic. Our guide, Maria, was phenomenal. She was friendly, enthusiastic, highly organized, and an amazing storyteller who brought the myths and history to life. She made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy the beach & views without feeling rushed. It was a flawless tour, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone!

It is a must visit for the sheer grandeur and history that this place carries. The mueseum is probably among the best international museums I have visited, each panel has written details. The Acropolis hill may have a few more water fountains for the visitors specially in summer, me and my wife took multiple stops in the heat to reach the top.

The pick-up location was very easy to find. We saw many monasteries along the way. I didn't bring cash, but I was able to get in using a card. The tour guide was very humorous and kept saying he was his parents' favorite child. The driver drove very smoothly, and I slept soundly along the way. As for the food being expensive, I didn't think so—it seemed like the normal price around here.

It's simple and convenient, no need to rush online for a time slot. A tip: the number of visitors here is much lower than the Acropolis, so there's no need to book an overly early slot. Many of the ruins are in a dilapidated state, so making good use of the audio guide is very important. The stoa and temples are still excellent for photos!

You can tour all the major spots downtown. While the open-top bus can be hot, it's very satisfying as you can see the tops of the buildings. Be aware that you might be asked to switch buses mid-route, even on the same line. A staff member at Monastiraki advised me to "take the full loop to see the city, then get off at a stop you like," which made for a very enjoyable stay. Also, even if you buy an e-ticket, you still need to get a paper ticket from the staff. Be careful, as you'll have to repurchase if you don't have a paper ticket.
