Discover Athens Beyond the Tourist Clichés
Want to uncover not just ancient but also modern Athens on a guided journey? This is the book for you!
(This is the black-and-white edition. A color edition and other books in the series are also available.)
While travel guides provide practical tips, this book aims to reveal what they often leave out: the stories, layers, and connections that make Athens truly unique.
Athens is rich with ancient history, and many books and guided tours focus on its classical heritage. But what about the centuries that followed? What about the old houses, Byzantine churches, mosques, Ottoman baths, and other hidden gems scattered across the city?
Written by an expert in Athens' history and architecture, this book bridges the gap between past and present. With detailed maps and numerous photos, it introduces you to the city's major sights from all eras, while also helping you navigate and understand the Athens of today.

Dive into the modern city's neoclassical monuments, built after 1833 when Athens became the capital of the newly founded Greek state.The Great Promenade - A Journey Through Antiquity
Stroll along the 21st-century pedestrian zone that unites the city's major archaeological sites. Discover the ancient wonders once hidden in the urban fabric, now beautifully showcased for all to see.
While the itineraries are presented in this order, you can tailor your journey, starting wherever you prefer.

A professor at the University of the Peloponnese, he is a passionate cultural hiker and an expert in Greece's rich history and architecture.
