SUMMARY:Historical Stroll with Dr. Iordanis Papadopoulos: Makriyianni
DESCRIPTION:Step into an urban stroll through the Makriyianni district\, where ancient beauty meets the grit of modern Athenian life. Led by Dr. Iordanis Papadopoulos\, an expert in Political Philosophy\, this tour invites you to decode our urban identity\, viewing the iconic shadow of the Acropolis not just as a backdrop\, but as a living witness to a city that refuses to forget.\n\nThe journey begins in the silent galleries of Roman villas and moves through the turbulent memories of the “”Dekemvriana””\, the violent clashes in December 1944 that marked the beginning of the conflict that later escalated into the Greek Civil War\, which once haunted the old Gendarmerie building. As you walk down the grand Dionysiou Areopagitou\, you’ll uncover the influence of foreign archaeological missions in Koukaki\, before stopping at the Theatre of Dionysus to discuss the deep-rooted link between Democracy and Ancient Drama.\n\nThe route winds past the Asklepieion and the legendary “”Klepsydra”” spring\, eventually reaching the Areopagus (Mars Hill)\, where St. Paul once preached before the “”Altar of the Unknown God.”” Dr. Papadopoulos masterfully assembles the fragments\, from the Golden Age to the 1821 Revolution and the Civil War\, connecting history to personal experience in a way that makes the stones speak.\n\nMeeting Point: Acropolis Metro Station\, Makriyianni exit.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:A Tour of Rizokastro and the Anafiotika Area
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek. \n\nArchaeologist Michalis Giohalas\, in collaboration with the This is Athens City Festival\, leads a walking tour through Anafiotika and its layered history. Rizokastro—the area nestled at the root of the Sacred Rock—and Anafiotika are among the most historic quarters of Athens. Using surviving monuments and buildings\, remnants of lost structures\, and even the street names as our guide\, we’ll attempt to piece together the memory and image of a city that feels both different and not entirely lost. This journey will tune in to the lingering echoes of beliefs\, myths and legends tied to ancient places that still endure in the present day.\n\nA reservation is required.
