Anafiotika | Athens Free Tour

Athens’ Hidden Island Village Beneath the Acropolis

Anafiotika is one of the most unforgettable stops on your Athens Free Tour - a peaceful, Cycladic-style neighborhood tucked just beneath the Acropolis. Built in the 19th century by stonemasons from the island of Anafi, this hidden gem feels like a Greek island village in the very heart of Athens.

Wander through its narrow whitewashed alleys, spot blue - shuttered homes, and take in breathtaking views over historic Plaka and central Athens. With its island charm and unique backstory, Anafiotika is a must-see that most visitors miss - but you won’t.

Included in every English and Spanish Athens Free Tour- the city’s top-rated walking tour with over 16,000 total reviews, including more than 15,600 five-star ratings. The only tour in Athens to surpass 10,000 five-star TripAdvisor reviews, and proudly awarded Travelers’ Choice 2020 - 2024.
