Early morning visit to Acropolis

If you have young kids, head to the Acropolis at 8 am. By going early, you can avoid the crowds and the midday heat. Early morning also offers excellent opportunities for pictures. Hire a guide to help you and your kids understand the history and the story behind the 2,500-year-old ruins. Under 18s get free entrance. There is also a scavenger hunt for kids at the Acropolis Museum.

Discover the amazing Metro stations

In most cities, a metro station is just a matter of convenience. But in Athens, they have much more to offer. Each metro station features a mini-museum that showcases artefacts found during the excavation. There is a tour that runs through each station to help you discover the history beneath the surface of this ancient city.

Take a Street art walking tour

Athens boasts of fantastic street art. If you or your teens admire graffiti, join the Alternative Neighbourhoods Half Day Walking Tour. They cover some amazing neighbourhoods you would easily miss as a tourist. Apart from street art, you will also get to witness the famous flea market, bohemian bars and boutiques.
