Athens is a busy modern city, built around ruins that have stood for centuries. Be sure to see them clearly.
Climb to the top of Athens with a local archaeologist guide.
Acropolis
Areopagus Hill
Lycabettus Hill
Pnyx Hill (of the Muses)
ΑΘΗΝΑ Personal space on any Athens tour is paramount, and offering private tours only goes a long way towards achieving that. In so far as sightseeing from vantage points above Athens goes, solitude is guaranteed. Terrain around the Acropolis is rugged and wooded with plenty of trails to reach the most scenic spots. If you enjoy hiking as much as archaeological sightseeing, or just being close to nature, each ascent will surpass your expectations. Lycabettus Hill - "Wolf Mountain", likely inhabited by a long lost Pagan cult, now offers unrivalled views high above Athens; Pnyx Hill - the Garden of Antiquities where one really can see into the distant past; Acropolis - needs no introduction; Areopagus Hill - rocky outcrop that protected the Sanctuary of the Fates in mythology, stone pedestal upon which dangerous criminals were judged in reality, panoramic views therefrom as miraculous as the Areopagus was rich in tales of Christian intrigue. Hiking around Athens on the slopes of Penteli and Hymettus? Send us a message and we'll arrange it. We curated Hills of the Gods: Above Athens to satisfy mindful travellers in search of a private tour with a rather different perspective, and we think we found something special for them.

HILLS OF THE GODS: ABOVE ATHENS™
by In Athens Tours
"Most of the hills were near the Acropolis, having said that, the views were amazing, especially at sunset and you really need to know where to go to reach the best vantage points so a local guide is really important. Maria pointed out all the archaeological sites en route, some of which we had seen before, but many were new to us and interesting. Lycabettus, reached by funicular railway, was wonderful, unbeatable views over Athens and the highlight moment!"
