Hi there,

Ah, Athens, one of my favorite cities!!

I found this site IMMENSELY helpful when planning my trip to Greece a few years ago.

This is his Athens Guide page:

And here he has a link for a walking tour of Athens, which looks like it might be just what you are looking for:

You are very welcome, and I know that you will have a wonderful time!!!

Of all the places I have visited, Greece remains my favorite by far (kindest people, best food, most beautiful and unspoiled beauty), and Athens is a wonderful city to walk. The climb up to the Acropolis is an experience never to be forgotten.

Happy travels,
Mari
