Ottoman heritage of Athens walking tour

We meet at Acropolis metro station , and we start our tour discussing about the eras Athens faced and how the Acropolis and the area around evolved from the ancient times to the Byzantine and Ottoman period and what we see today in our modern world. We start our walk by heading at the heart of Plaka district where we will admire ancient greek monuments and their role during medieval period,  old byzantine churches, residences, mosques and hammam from the Ottoman times and dig their rich history.  During the tour we ll have the chance to see through a tablet how Athens has evolved through the centuries and we will share stories and historic facts about that era. At the end of our tour we will end up to our local favorite hammam place where you will have the opportunity to relax after the long walk. Your package includes your stay in the wet – hot marble room (hammam) with the running water, the traditional basins and the large marble heated bench where you lie down to enjoy the exfoliation process by our experienced therapists to renew skin and get a silky body and face. After this magnificent ritual, you will pass at the lounge to relax and enjoy your aromatic oriental tea and the Turkish delight!
