A new initiative by the Municipality of Athens offers residents and visitors the chance to explore the city’s rich history through guided walking tours of archaeological sites, museums, and picturesque neighborhoods.

Titled “Athenian Walks”, the initiative kicks off on Saturday, January 18, featuring guided tours of the Byzantine and Christian Museum, the National Glypthotheque, the National Gallery, the National Archaeological Museum, the Municipal Gallery of Athens, the Acropolis Museum, and the Numismatic Museum.

The Municipality of Athens, in partnership with the social benefit enterprise Action Plus, developed the Athenian Walks to cater to adults, children aged 7-10, and social groups facing cultural access barriers, aiming to promote inclusion and advance social and cultural equality.
