Description

Step into the shadows of Athens as you join an immersive evening walking tour that brings to life the city’s most chilling myths and legends. Guided by a passionate storyteller, you’ll explore the historic streets surrounding the Acropolis, where ancient tales of horror and intrigue still linger.

Your journey begins on Dionysiou Areopagitou street, a scenic promenade that winds beside the illuminated Acropolis. As you stroll past iconic landmarks like the Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the Sanctuary of Pan, your guide will share dark stories of tragic kings, vengeful gods, and monstrous creatures from Greek mythology.

Along Apostolou Pavlou street, you’ll discover how myth and history intertwine, with interactive moments and games that plunge you deeper into the eerie world of ancient Athens. The route continues through Monastiraki, a vibrant district where the city’s past and present collide, setting the stage for tales of deception, transformation, and divine punishment.

Outside Hadrian’s Library, you’ll hear a final, haunting myth before concluding your adventure in bustling Monastiraki Square. The tour covers approximately 3 kilometers and lasts about 1.7 hours, making it an engaging way to experience Athens after dark. This experience is offered in English and welcomes small groups for a personal touch.

Please note that this tour focuses on storytelling and does not include entry to the monuments. Some myths include mature themes, so discretion is advised. Ready to see Athens in a whole new light? Secure your spot now and let the city’s ancient horrors come alive before your eyes.
