## What is Athens.?

Having been continuously inhabited for at least 3,000 years, Athens busts with energy and waits to be explored. Wander through the picturesque courtyards and lanes of Plaka, visit the oriental bazaars and food markets of Monastiraki, or enjoy a frappe and a spoon sweet in the wonderful patisseries and kafeneia. 

PocketGuide, the world’s leading audio city guide application, reveals the best stories, insider hangouts and must-see sights in more than 100 major cities and tourist destinations.

PocketGuide turns your mobile device into a personal tour guide: The GPS figures out where you are, and a voice recording, made by a local guide, describes the sights around you. You don’t need to read text from your phone, just listen and enjoy a city’s attractions while your virtual tour guide explains it all and shares personal insights.

PocketGuide works offline, so you save on roaming charges, and it includes an offline map and loads of critical reviews that help you decide where to eat, drink and shop.

We also have fascinating themed tours, for those who want to go off the beaten path. Find the top tapas in Barcelona, get chic in NYC’s East Village or follow the trail of a 19th century serial killer in London.

Whether you're interested in the main sights or "the road less traveled", PocketGuide is ready to take you there.

Please note that continuous use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

### 2/5 — Minimal info

*2015-05-22*

Provides only minimal information about each landmark. Does not take the place of a tour book or tour guide. The app did not properly map each landmark to our specific location. Not very worthwhile if you want anything more than a sentence about each site.

### 1/5 — Says it's free but it's not

*2012-08-22, version 5.8*

For athens i opened it up and it wanted to charge me € for each tour. Deleted immediately

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2012-04-14, version 5.1*

Decent app and the augmented reality feature is quite useful. Would be nice to edit/personalise the tours though. In Athens, gps tracking is not great due to built up areas, I assume, but it worked reasonably well. First tour is free then you have to pay.

### 5/5 — Excellent travel app

*2011-04-30*

Very nice program identifies all the points of interest with directions and distance from your location.  The gps locator is very helpful and led us to the sights and back to the hotel. The sites are identified by text, photo, and audio and walking tours very well planned.
