Overview

This self-guided GPS audio walk through Athens highlights some of its architectural gems. The majority of the buildings were constructed just after the creation of the Greek state in 1830. It was the king's attempt to transform Athens from a small village of a few thousands of people to a European capital. It's a city where modern chaos and history blend together perfectly, creating a unique and vibrant atmosphere.

The tour starts at the fountain in the middle of Syntagma Square - this is the heart of modern-day Athens. Everything starts from here. The word Syntagma means "constitution" in Greek. The square got its name after a popular military uprising in 1843, when Greeks gathered here demanding that the country's first King, King Otto, follow his promise and introduce the country's first constitution - and the tour ends at the National Archaeological Museum, which you can visit after the tour.
