The meeting point is in front of the Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro) — specifically, on the right side of the stadium as you face it, in front of the row of flags.

Description
Are you ready to uncover the secrets of Athens?
Join me on a mythical-historical journey through the heart of one of the oldest cities in the world — a city whose roots reach back to 7000 BC! This is not just a walking tour — it’s a time-traveling adventure filled with legends, gods, Olympic champions, philosophers, and everyday Athenians who shaped the world as we know it.
We begin our experience at the awe-inspiring Panathenaic Stadium, where the Olympic spirit still lingers. From there, we admire the neoclassical elegance of the Zappeion Hall, before heading to the colossal Temple of Olympian Zeus and the grand Arch of Hadrian. We continue to the Monument of Lysicrates and then step into the magical alleys of Anafiotika, a corner of Athens that feels like a hidden island village. As we look out over the Ancient Agora, I’ll show you the stunning Temple of Hephaestus from a panoramic point — no need to enter to feel its timeless energy!
We end our journey at the atmospheric Tower of the Winds in the Roman Agora, a place where time, myth, and history meet in stone and silence.
Through stories, humor, and little-known facts, I’ll help you see Athens not just as a collection of ruins, but as a living, breathing place of eternal ideas and emotions. Expect myths, drama, secrets, and beauty at every turn.
