• What is involved in a walking tour of Athens?

  Before you book a walking tour of Athens, it is important to know a little bit about how Athens is laid out. The city is smaller when compared to other cities in Europe, given that the Greek capital is built around the majestic Acropolis. This layout makes it possible to take visitors to take one of several scenic walking paths. One of the preferred routes to take is to begin at the foot of the Acropolis' southeast side and then walk up to the ancient landmark.    When you book a walking tour, versus walking in Athens on your own, you can learn a great deal about what you are seeing. Doing so will enable you to learn everything about the historical significance of each site you visit. Some of the sites you will pass include the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Ancient Agora. Key Tours' private walking tour of Athens, called Footsteps of Socrates allows visitors to better understand about the activities of everyday life in ancient Greece.
