Walking Tours in Greece: 15 Old Towns on Foot

35 tours  ·  from $13 a head

These streets were laid out for donkeys and have never forgiven the car, which is why walking is not a preference here but the only real option. These 15 cover Athens, Chania, Rhodes and Corfu, priced by length, with a note on which involve serious hills.

Taste Greek street food, market produce, wine, olive oil, and loukoumades while exploring central Athens with a local guide.

“Tonia was engaging and attended to multiple allergy restrictions within the group. The tour took us to 6 or 7 different establishments with one location being a full traditional meal. We tried several common local dishes and treats and walked through the nearby markets. Definitely feel the value exceeded the cost.”

Review of Athens Walks’ Acropolis tour, with expert guides, Parthenon views, practical tips, ticket choices, and honest value advice.

“Anna was an amazing tour guide. Exceptionally knowledgeable and personable, she made my solo trip to Athens that much better. Full of humour and banter whilst giving in depth descriptions and insights to each of the sites we visited. I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting the city. I went on the 8.30 tour and I’d recommend going early as we started to see it get busier and busier.”

“This tour was absolutely perfect! We loved the small group format. The tour guide was great at keeping a pace that worked for everyone in the group. The food was absolutely amazing at every stop. Frankly, we were a bit surprised about that given the reasonable price of this tour. All of the places we stopped were ready for us and very friendly. Highly recommend this tour, and if we’re ever in Athens again, we would be happy to repeat this experience.”

Taste 15 Greek specialties, visit Athens Central Market, and follow a local guide through family shops and tavernas on this four-hour food walk.

“Come hungry because there is too much food on this tour. We started the morning with Greek pies, followed by lukamades. We then visited the central market and sampled lots of cheese including feta from the barrel and authentic sheep yogurt. We then visited a deli to sample different kinds of cured meats along with red/white wine, a local spirit, more cheese, olives and Paximadia. This was followed by a sit down lunch in a taverna right inside the market. Lunch was followed by visiting an olive shop and a dessert shop for coffee and desserts. We didn’t eat anything prior to this tour and still found the food more…”

Review of Athens’ Acropolis, city sights, Changing of the Guards, and Acropolis Museum tour, with practical advice on tickets, walking, and value.

“Overall, very good. However, the first portion of the tour was mediocre, at best, which was a "tour" through the subway station with a rapid fire narrative with an assortment of random facts without context or story, followed by a walk through a park with similar disjointed narrative. The tour of the Acropolis and museum was excellent with an engaging guide. Suggest only the Acropolis and museum tour.”

Walk from Syntagma Station to the Acropolis with a local guide, seeing ancient finds, Parliament, gardens, theaters, and the Parthenon.

“Really enjoyed this tour - the guide was friendly and full of interesting insights that added to the experience. It was my first time in the city so the first part of the tour was useful to get a feel for some different parts of the city - but the Acropolis was obviously the highlight. It's a long walk up, but broken up with stops to explain some of the different ruins on the south slope (which was quieter than the main entrance)”
