Street art, food, and history tours with small groups.
"Street art and graffiti seem to be everywhere in the Greek capital. Taking the form of firewall murals; colorful creations on smaller walls, gates, and dumpsters; and even tiny tags by notorious sprayers, much of the newer work makes direct reference to the Greek economic crisis.Though the works aretechnically illegal, they'rerarely removed.Wander the neighborhoods of Exarchia and Metaxourgeioto see high concentrations ofoften inspiring and surprisingly beautiful images."
"I took (or considered) Alternative Athens for their small-group tours focused on art, design, fashion, and street food; their street art walk is one of the most interesting options, showcasing Athens' growing reputation for vibrant murals and leading you through cool, lesser-known neighborhoods; tours start at 49 EUR." - Matthew Kepnes
"A grassroots operator running popular street-art tours that guide visitors through graffiti-rich neighborhoods and connect them with the city’s sociopolitical mural culture; the organization also participates in a wider street-art festival model that links public entities and schools with talented artists to transform urban walls into public conversation." - SilverKris
