Acropolis Night Walk--how to get thereTake the Metro to Thissio Station (Line 1). Follow the signs for “Apostolou Paulou” up to the surface. You’ll find yourself standing on a broad boulevard that (off to your right) turns into Apostolou Paulou Street—the new pedestrian promenade that runs along the western edge of the agora and Acropolis.  Directly across the street is a large, park-like area. That “park” is the ancient Agora of Athens.

For the Night Walk, you will follow Apostolou Paulou south (uphill) to take in the incredible sights of the Acropolis, brilliantly lit after sundown. The tour begins, however, right where you are. You’ll listen for a few moments, then cross the street to take a closer look at the Hephaestion.
