About this quest

Visiting the first cemetery of Athens is something I would highly recommend to everybody who visits the city or even the citizens who never thought about it. 

This cemetery is of high importance if you consider the culture, the history, the aesthetics, the art and all the mysticism one could experience in a place where we realize our existence through others, through the act of honoring the others. 

Attention! cemetery closes at 5pm, go earlier

What to Expect

This self-guided walking tour in Athens combines exploration, storytelling, and puzzle-solving into one unique experience. As you navigate through the city, you will discover 11 carefully selected locations, each revealing a piece of the story.

The entire quest takes approximately 7200 minutes to complete and covers 1.9km on foot. You will move at your own pace, with the freedom to pause whenever you want to take photos, grab a coffee, or simply soak in the atmosphere.

Each location features a challenge or puzzle that unlocks the next chapter of your story. These challenges are designed to be fun and engaging while teaching you about the history, culture, and hidden gems of Athens.

No tour guide needed – your smartphone becomes your guide. The Questo app provides directions, shares stories, and presents challenges along the way.
