Jewish Heritage Tour of Athens

The fact that there has been a Jewish presence in Greece for centuries eludes most people and even some Greeks! My tour takes about 4 hours and dives into the rich history of the Jewish community. We will visit the iconic Beth Shalom Synagogue a stunning building and much, much more. Next, we will explore the Etz Haim Synagogue, a symbol of resilience and the enduring spirit of the Romaniote community. Then it's a short walk to the Holocaust Memorial. At a bit of a lighter pace, we will visit the flea market and learn of its origins while searching for hidden gems. Continuing our journey, we will walk by the Ancient Greek Agora, that is believed to behold one of the oldest synagogue in Greece. Before the end of course we will see the Jewish Museum of Athens. Topping off our tour, we will eat a wonderfully catered meal at a kosher restaurant. Please note the synagogues are not open for tours on weekends. Due to current affairs to enter, you must send an email of your passport to security visits@athjcom.gr
