About the Tour
The Athens by Night experience begins with a personal pickup from your hotel. Your English-speaking driver will welcome you and introduce you to the city’s highlights during the evening hours.
Athens by night has its own unique charm. The illuminated Parthenon, the atmospheric lanterns of Plaka, the vibrant life spilling from Monastiraki’s cafes — everything takes on a special magic when night falls.
You start from the Acropolis Area — the Areopagitou route at night is one of the most romantic strolls in Greece. Before you, the illuminated Parthenon stands majestically. You continue to Syntagma Square, the Athenian Trilogy, and conclude with Lycabettus Hill — the panoramic night view is unforgettable.
