About this tour
This session walks Nikis Street from the port end to Aristotle Square, tracing the seafront rebuilt after the fire. You see the street's start near the harbour and then the square's formal opening onto the water. It stays along this one promenade.
I walk it at an easy pace with the sea always in view, pausing properly at the square to explain how it was planned into the wider rebuilding. Questions about the waterfront's design come up often.
This suits anyone who wants a calm, seaside walk with real context behind it. It also works well paired with the White Tower session for a fuller stretch of the waterfront.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
