Activity itinerary

Dionysiou Areopagitou
  • 15m
Stroll along the most breathtaking promenade in Athens, winding alongside the Acropolis. Named after Dionysius the Areopagite, the city's first Christian convert, this historic path takes you straight into the heart of ancient Greece.
Theater of Dionysus
  • 10m
Theatre of Dionysus (stop outside)– Stand before the birthplace of Greek drama and hear the very first myth of the evening—one that sets the stage for all the eerie tales to come.
Herod Atticus Odeon
  • 15m
Odeon of Herodes Atticus (stop outside)– This ancient theatre still hosts performances today, but long ago, a tragic king met his gruesome fate here. Will you dare to step into the role of an ancient Greek tragedian?
Apostolou Pavlou Street
  • 10m
Apostolou Pavlou: Shadows of Gods and Monsters. Follow the footsteps of St. Paul along this scenic street, where myth and history intertwine. A quick game will lead you to the tragic tale of a beautiful maiden transformed into a terrifying monster.
Ancient Sanctuary Of Pan
  • 10m
Outside the Sanctuary of Pan, carved into the rock, uncover the legend of another infamous creature—one that may still lurk in your home today. But was its fate fair, or were the Olympian gods simply cruel?
Statue Of Theseus
  • 10m
Gather around the mighty statue of Theseus, sculpted by George Vitalis, and hear the tale of the monster he defeated—a beast born of divine defiance. This is the finish point for the short version of the experience.
Monastiraki

Monastiraki: The Labyrinth of Legends. Wander through the bustling alleys of Monastiraki, where the past and present collide. With the Temple of Hephaestus as your backdrop, discover the chilling storey of a ruthless king who dared to deceive Zeus himself. But in the end, can anyone truly outwit the gods?
Hadrian's Library
  • 10m
Hadrian’s Library (stop outside): A Tale of Love, Witchcraft & Betrayal Built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 132 AD, this grand structure once held the greatest knowledge of its time.

Monastiraki Square
  • 5m
Where Your Journey Ends, But the Myths Live On! Surrounded by a whirlwind of cultures, styles, and eras, Monastiraki Square is the perfect place to conclude your adventure.
