Follow an evening-focused walk through a changing set of squares, beginning at Monastiràki and continuing through Πλάκα, Ακρόπολη, Γκάζι, Κεραμεικός, Μεταξουργείο, Άγιος Παντελεήμονας and Ομόνοια. Pause at each square to notice how the route’s rhythm develops from one named public setting to the next. The walk then turns through Πλατεία Κλαυθμώνος, Πλατεία Συντάγματος and Εθνικός Κήπος before ending with two theatres, giving the evening a quieter cultural close.

    A live map with the turns called out, and a way back whenever you wander off it.

  • In four languages

    English, French, Spanish and Arabic — the words and the voice, not just the labels.

  • Or build your own

    Pick the places you actually want and the app works out the order to walk them in.

  • The unglamorous things

    Toilets, pharmacies, cash points and water, without leaving the walk.

  • No signal needed

    Download a walk before you go and it works under a souk roof or on a plane.

    Stop for lunch, come back tomorrow, and the walk is exactly where you left it.
