Myths and legends of Athens, after dark

The walk starts at the ancient Kerameikos cemetery and passes through the Ancient Agora, Hadrian's Library and the Roman Agora, with ghost stories and legends instead of a straight history lesson.

It then winds through Plaka's lamplit lanes and around the foot of the Acropolis at dusk, ending at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus with a final story and a card reading by the guide.

Best for

  • Mythology fans who want a new angle on familiar sites
  • An evening that still visits real archaeology
  • Anyone who enjoys atmosphere and storytelling

Highlights

  • Lantern-lit stories through the Agora and Plaka
  • A closing card reading
  • Small group of about 10 to 14
