Athens · DRINKING TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 5 bar tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Start at 10 p.m. in Thiseos, meet hosts such as Rim, Maria, or Costas, then visit three Athens nightlife venues in Psirri or Gazi. Expect a social group, a one-hour open bar, music, some walking, and VIP access to the final nightclub. The night runs about 3 to 3.5 hours.
“Good time, fun hosts. Depending on the group and people can have a fun experience and meet new friends.”
Meet your English-speaking host opposite Thissio metro for 3.5 hours of bars, shots, dancing, and club entry. Choose sober, beer and wine, or unlimited long drinks. Guides such as Rim, Lefteris, Dimitra, and Maria help solo visitors and groups mix easily.
“Amazing pub crawl! The two guides were super organized and fun, and the places we went to were all great vibes with amazing music! 10/10 recommend 😌”
Meet at Monastiraki at 9 pm for a private Athens pub crawl through Favorita, Dos Gardenias, and Backdoor Athens. Expect Greek-style shots, Latin dancing, drinking games, cocktail discounts, and free club entry. Guide Labros has earned praise for making solo visitors feel welcome.
“The crawl was great, went to really fun bars, met cool people and our tour guide Labros could not have been nicer! Highly recommend!”
Join a small group near the Parthenon for a 1.5-hour lesson and tasting of five Greek beers and ales. Your English-speaking guide explains malt, hops, grains, and Greek brewing traditions while you sample cheeses, cold cuts, Kalamata olives, and savory bites.
Meet Spyros in Monastiraki Square for a leisurely walk through Athens, with local stories, history, mythology, and favorite hangouts. Finish at Strange Brew Taproom for four Greek beers, Greek snacks, and a practical lesson in tasting and food pairing. Private, English or Greek, adults only.
“The activity was awesome. Spyros is such a great tour guide with great personnality and great knowledge. I enjoyed the tour a lot and would definitly do it again.”
Pick a hill, a market or a coast road.
