Walk Through History. Play Through Legend.

This is not a walking tour. It is not just a game either. It is something in between — and that is exactly what makes it unforgettable.

ABOUT YOUR GUIDE

Explore Athens Through Stories, Myths & Adventure

For 2 hours, your group examines statues, decodes carvings and uncovers the hidden details of monuments that most visitors walk straight past. Clues to solve. Myths to uncover. Ancient secrets hiding in the stones all around you. I am beside you the whole way — through the most storied corners of Athens — guiding, hinting and watching the city come alive in front of your eyes.
Play well enough and Athens will follow you home.

"A great thank you to the team of the Acropolis Treasure Hunt because you helped to bond our team. We participated in the game as an organization looking for a team building activity and we enjoyed every minute of it. We learned a lot, there was something for everybody, even for native Greeks who are supposed to know their history."

"We've done many treasure/scavenger hunts in different cities and this was definitely one of the most unique. Our pre-teen kids loved the many types of adventure. Charis is very helpful in her communication before the activity. Would highly recommend this tour to learn about the area near the Acropolis in a fun, creative way."

"Brilliant storytelling! Cannot recommend highly enough!! Our four children (13, 9, 7 & 7) were engaged and enthralled from start to end. Charis brings alive the story and mythology of Ancient Greece, not only with her storytelling but also with objects and activities for the children."

"We booked the treasure Hunt with Charis and we were very overwhelmed with it. Not only is Charis a very lovely person she also managed to adapt to our wishes. It was so much fun solving the puzzles and going around the acropolis, learning about Greek Mythology and history. We were on a Bachelorette trip and every single one had an amazing time!"

"We absolutely loved our tour with Charis, and that coming from a family with two potentially whiny adolescents and seasoned traveler parents. She was very sensitive to our group as individuals, knowing how to connect with everyone in their own way. Truthfully I wish Charis would be a guide for every new place we go to!"

"This tour was Amazing! We were a group of 10 and the guide engaged so well with all of us. We had 5 kids with us and each was actively participating and learning during each activity. We also got a great perspective of the city as we walked through the streets with the locals. This is an experience our family and friends will never forget."

"It's like a fun, outdoor escape room with history! The puzzles were fun and different than the usual escape rooms I have participated in. Some really stretched our minds. It was nice to use the outdoor surroundings and history Charis was teaching us to help solve everything."

Everything You Need to Know Before the Hunt

Find answers about the experience, meeting point, difficulty level, languages, group sizes, and everything included in your Athens Treasure Hunt adventure.

It is a 2–3 hour outdoor adventure around the Acropolis hill — part exploration, part storytelling, part competition. Teams follow mythological clues, solve historical puzzles and discover the ancient city on foot. Designed by a licensed guide who knows every stone on this hill.

Yes. The route is walkable, the clues are designed for mixed groups and the pace is always yours. Children as young as seven have loved it. Grandparents have won it.

Yes — and I love doing this. Tell me the occasion, tell me the person and I will build something that fits. A birthday at sunset above Athens with a custom clue trail is not as unusual as you might think.

A guided tour is something you watch. The Treasure Hunt is something you do. You are not following someone with a flag — you are solving, exploring, competing and laughing your way through 2,500 years of history.

Take This With You.
