Alternative Athens - 7th floor
About Alternative Athens
Alternative Athens started in 2013 with just one aim: To show travelers the genuine side of Greece, away from easy tourist stereotypes. Since then, we’ve put together a range of local experiences and tours that show you interesting places less frequented by tourists, where you can get a real understanding of the country, its capital and the local way of life here.
Our tours are unique, but it’s our people who make them truly unforgettable. That’s why we pick our guides very carefully and according to two criteria: how well they know their city, and how friendly and open they are to the world. After all, it’s the encounters you make on your trip which create the best memories to take home.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I booked a tour to Acropolis with a friend. I am Greek and I have been to Acropolis many times but this tour was special and I found out so much more about Acropolis and ancient Greece than I anticipated!
The organisation of the tour was excellent, clear and easy. Our tour guide, Danai, was inspiring, and gave us a holistic view (historical, mythological and architectural) of the Acropolis. She also told us various stories about the myths and the history related to Acropolis. It was fascinating!
I would highly recommend it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had a lovely private food tour hosted by Josephine on our first day in Athens. A great way to get to see the foodie areas of the city and Greek culture. Josephine was a fantastic guide and her tour was very accomodating of the gluten intolerance in our party.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I highly recommend going on one of their tours. We did the Unexpected Athens Orientation Tour and Christina was a great guide. Was great to hear more about modern Athens and learn about the history and culture of each neighbourhoods we visited.
The whole tour was highly engaging and we had way more meaningful conversations you wouldn't normally get through a normal tour group.
Can't recommend enough.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We took the Alternative Athens tour with Josephine. It was really amazing! We discovered so many things about the city, it's history and the differences among neighborhoods!
Josephine was a great host: she was able to create immediately a friendly and familiar environment among the people in the group. Moreover, she was very kind and open to answer to all our questions.
I highly recommend this tour to have a felling about the daily life in Athens.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I highly recommend the Beat the Crowds Acropolis afternoon tour. Our tour guide was Alex, who is an archaeologist. He was amazing! So knowledgeable and passionate about Athens' history. We were very lucky to be the only 2 people on the tour, so it was our own private tour. I learned so much from the tour, and I liked that Alex focused on the importance of mythology, society and civilization, and how it all culminated in the creation of the Acropolis. It wasn't focused on only pointing out the touristy or photo worthy things. I walked away knowing so much more, and having a deeper appreciation of Greek culture. Alex is a fantastic tour guide and was incredibly engaging to listen to. Highly recommended!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Josephine is a fantastic guide. As an Athenian, art lover and archaeologist, she was able to show us the alternative side of Athens. We did the street art tour with her which we cannot recommend enough.
We would have never found some of the cool streets and neighbourhoods without her.
She was patient, attentive and enthusiastic. Highly recommended!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This tour was a great way to explore some of the less touristed areas of Athens. Our guide Josephine is extremely well qualified to lead the tour and made it an interesting and up informative 3 hours. The pace was easy with lots of discussion about motive, influences, techniques and history.
