What you'll do

Take a private group alternative walking tour that focuses on the exploration of the street art movement existing in the city centre of Athens, where street artists from around the world come together.

Through a 3-hour private tour led by an expert, enthusiastic, local guide you will learn the history & origins of this underground global phenomenon of graffiti and its influence in Athens. Discover the “secret codes” of street artists as you enjoy an alternative tour in the centre of the city  and the reasons why street art has flourished on their walls.

Your guide will focus on the social and political aspects of the Greek street art scene to uncover what political statements the artists are making and why, along with the legacy of the financial crisis which urged people to express themselves on the streets.

Graffiti changes rapidly in the streets of Athens, and it is quickly becoming a huge contemporary art gallery – if you know where to look! If you’re keen on exploring in an alternative way and experiencing local culture & pieces of modern history, this walking tour is perfect for you.
