A great opportunity to have a tour to better know the city is given through the free guided tours to archaeological sites and neighborhoods of Athens. This favorite habit of the Athenians always had too much participation and now starts again for the New Year, from January to March. The program of the free guided tours includes a tour of both the cultural richness and the beauty of the city, by experienced and qualified guides. It is offered by the Athens Municipality Organization of Culture in cooperation with the Association of Licensed Guides. The City of Athens would like to thank the guides for their volunteering.
