Take a private walking tour of Athens' street art and culture. Here you will learn the history and origins of this underground global phenomenon and how it operates in the city. You'll dig deeper into the “secret codes” of street artists as you enjoy an alternative tour in Athens' center. Together with your guide, wander around the small streets of up and coming neighborhoods of Athens, while discussing their interesting background and the reasons why street art from local and international street artists has flourished on their walls.

You'll focus on the social and political aspects of the Greek street art scene. What political statements are the artists making and why? How did the financial crisis urge people to express themselves on the streets? Graffiti changes rapidly in the streets of Athens, which is turning into a big contemporary art gallery -if you know where to look!
