Did you know that Athens is a mecca for street art, making it a very attractive playground for artists from around the world? Did you also know that the word “graffiti” comes from a Greek word? Through Athens Street Art Tour, we’ll take you through the streets of non-touristic Athenian neighborhoods and shed light on the philosophy behind political and social graffiti.
Through a 4-hour private tour led by a local street artist expert, you will learn the history & origins of this underground global phenomenon and dig dipper into the “secret codes” of street artists as you enjoy an alternative tour in Athens center. You will understand the different styles, techniques & terminology: From stencils, paste-ups, throw-ups & bombings to tags, pieces, murals, installations and wild-style graffiti! Together you will wonder around small streets of up and coming neighborhoods in Athens like Metaxourgeio and discuss about the reasons why street art flourished in its walls!
You are going to focus on the social and political aspects of Greek street art scene. What political statements are the artists making and why? How the economic crisis urged people to express themselves on the streets?
Graffiti changes rapidly in the streets of Athens which are turning into a big contemporary art gallery - if you know where the right spots to look for are! Athens is a multicolored city and if you are keen on exploring it in an alternative way, this walking tour is the perfect way to do so.
Wonderful trip with our guide Lisa. The itinerary was good, but many long bus rides-which is necessary to cover mainland Greece and get in as much as we did in 7 full days. Would have loved to have an overnight stay in Nafplio. Enjoyed staying in hotels within walking distance to the towns-made it really easy to just go during free times. The dinner buffets at the hotels were not my favorite but understand why since a couple nights we were getting into the hotels late due to traveling. Kalabaka and Meteora were a highlight for me. The Olive Farm and Cooking night were wonderful. Both the Santorini and Mykonos stays were wonderful. The optional catamaran excursion on Santorini was great.
Much like baklava, Greece is layered with history so rich that the only way to do it justice is with a knowledgeable local leader. Travelling from Athens to the Meteora Mountains and back along the coast, you’ll learn how Meteora’s hanging monasteries protected modern Hellenic culture from invading Turks, uncover the stories of the Oracle of Delphi and explore the site of the first Olympics. With Exclusive Experiences – like visiting beekeepers to discover the secrets of Greek honey – and a Feature Stay in a traditional stone mansion, this well-rounded adventure brings Greece’s past and present to life.

I had an exceptional, once-in-a-lifetime and unique experience on the G Adventures Walking in the Greek Islands tour. I loved the experience of not being the 'Chief Experience Officer' of the holiday for once, and was truely able to relax and enjoy myself. While it was a fantastic itinerary full of interesting and enjoyable activities, it was also the people that made it special.
