The Plaka neighborhood, nestled beneath the Acropolis, is especially enchanting during Autumn, offering a picturesque setting for leisurely strolls.

Exploring the old part of Athens provides a glimpse into the city's rich history, with archaeological sites, Byzantine churches, and Ottoman-era architecture, creating a captivating tapestry of the past. Discover it and the buzzing Monastiraki district, with the combined Acropolis and old Athens walking tour.



One of the Athens walking tours' highlights this time of year is undoubtedly the diverse and delectable food scene. Visitors can indulge in a culinary adventure, savoring traditional Greek dishes infused with seasonal ingredients. Sidewalk cafes and tavernas beckon passersby with the aroma of freshly baked bread, grilled meats, and aromatic spices.

Autumn is the harvest season, and Athenian markets burst with fresh produce, olives, figs, and nuts. Our Athens food walking tour includes a food specialist guide taking you to top insider food stores and vendors as you saunter around the city.
