Big Olive City is the Athens-based team of field experts that organizes private and group tours of Athens that focus on aspects of art, architecture, literature, history, cuisine and current affairs. 

These unique city walks will reveal to you different aspects of Athens. Follow the steps of ancient traveler Pausanias in the Acropolis and Agora walk starting from the southern hillsides of the Acropolis all the way to the Gates of Dipylon (the ancient entrance to the city). Enjoy a Greek revival walk in some of the finest Neo-Classical buildings of Athenian Neoclassicism or discover the secrets of lost River walk along the banks of the River Ilissus.

Finally, for those wishing to catch a glimpse of the city’s unique architectural styles, from nineteenth-century neoclassical edifices to minimalist contemporary works, we suggest the Modernist Athens & Le Corbusier Walk that focuses on the boroughs of Exarchia and Kolonaki, in the heart of Athens!
