WALK THE WALL ATHENS
Would you like to walk in your city, as if walking around it for the first time? To explore its invisible aspects and to discover ancient fortifications in the most unexpected places? Do you love knowledge, history and wanderings?
If so, let the digital app Walk the Wall Athens lead you on a walk different than others. Follow the course of the ancient city wall, which surrounds the city like a historical chain.
On every step along the wall, you will meet the visible traces of the ancient past. You will find yourself in basements, in open-air plots and under glass floors.

- audio tour for each POI
