We learnt lots about some of the areas of Athens which we hadn't explored by ourselves, and discovered some brilliant street art. Our guide, Nicos, was full of brilliant insights into the history of graffiti, the different styles of each artist, and stories about the area. Thoroughly recommended!”

“This walking tour through the Gazi and Kerameiko areas is filled with incredible street art murals and, of course, graffiti. Our guide, Kalliopi, was fun to be with, and we learned a lot from her about the origins of many of the murals, as well as the “code” (if you will) of the taggers who create the graffiti. Some of the streets and cozy byways we traversed were extremely colorful because of the street art or graffiti on the walls. After the tour we went to Kalliopi’s studio and created (decorated) our very own totes. This was a very fun activity. I highly recommended it!”
