If you book this tour you will enjoy history and fun.
It's the "neighbourhood of the gods" ! We will see temples, churches, neoclassical mansions, art galleries, bazaars, local food.
The reason I like this tour is the mix of antiquity and present. Some of my favourite cafes are in the colourful Plaka!
Let yourselves be surprised by a small island in the heart of the city!
