By solving fun location-based riddles, you’ll follow in the footsteps of Elena, a Greek-American food and travel writer. Admire the iconic landmarks and panoramic views over Athens, get to know interesting facts about famous characters, and stroll through an enormous verdant garden where you’ll be treated to a bird symphony! You’ll also pop into the city’s oldest distillery where you can sample Greek spirits. Get ready for a playful discovery experience!
