During the tour I am going to guide you through the most narrow and hidden streets where mainly locals go and I will tell you stories that are part of the local culture. We will first stop in Plaka area to see picturesque little streets and enjoy a walk in Anafiotika, the coziest neighborhood in Athens.( Keep in my mind there are some few stairs in this place, but not a lot) The Second part is a walk among the most iconic cafes and bars in the center of Athens.(we will not sit in any bars-it is more a scouting visit) It's a great way to discover small taverns, bars and cafes and mix with the locals. The places we go to are small gems and are not easy to find at all. We will stop in 1 of these hidden gems to grab a quick bite. This tour is not a bar hopping tour, it's a walk around the places that i love as an Athenian so you can choose where to pass your next days. All are welcome! Solo travelers, locals, groups and couples.
