About this experience

Let us drive you through the city to discover Athens by night and capture the magnificence of the illuminated Archaeological Sites and Monuments of Athens

Even if you had a day full of sightseeing, strolling through museum halls and walking in the picturesque streets of Plaka you don’t want to miss out on all the fun that takes place during the night.
You can choose amongst a huge variety of diverse options. If you are more of the fine dining type we can arrange a candle lit gourmet dinner with a breathtaking view.
If you are more of a dancing type you can opt for a more energetic alternative and visit a local greek restaurant
