Athens Architecture - Introduction

Athens is the capital city of Greece and is located roughly in the middle of the country.

Key Greek buildings that we visit on our Athens Architecture Tours are the New Acropolis Museum Building Bernard Tschumi Architects and the Olympic Tennis Centre Building by Potiropoulos D+L Architects. We can also visit the Astir Palace and Placebo Pharmacy buildings.

The tour is focused on contemporary architecture. If you are interested in the famous historic monuments of Athens - such as the Parthenon, Erechtheum and Propylaia - then we can suggest bolt-on tour guides.

Famous architects with buildings in the city include Bernard Tschumi, Santiago Calatrava, Renzo Piano and Julien De Smedt.

Athens Walking Tours

Athens Architecture Tours can focus on traditional buildings, contemporary buildings or both. The Athens Architecture Tour can be an introduction to the city's main buildings or can be tailored to your group's interests.

Walking Tours of Athens can involve advice (for an agreed fee) ahead of trips about types and areas of Greek buildings.

We are more than happy to accommodate your needs and interests on our Athens Architecture Tours.

We can provide information on programme, geographical areas and building types up to a year ahead of your tour. For example a group of architects interested in innovative Athens housing or office buildings could be provided with tailored information allowing a tour programme to be agreed prior to their visit to Greece.

Visitors can be met from the airport, their accommodation, or at the starting point of their Greek walking tour.
