Enjoy the intimacy of a small group tour and explore the best that Athens has to offer—from age-old ruins to vibrant markets and religious temples. Navigate your way through bustling streets and immerse yourself in Athenian life while seeing some of the ancient world's most impressive structures.

Begin your day as the Greeks did for thousands of years, with a trip to the local market. Savor the exotic sights, sounds, and smells of this colorful scene. Observe local traders flogging their wares and listen as your guide points out fresh and interesting produce.

As you wander through the streets, be on the lookout for historic buildings, such as the Pantanassa Monastery, a Corinthian-style temple, as well as an 18th-century mosque.
