See a different side of Athens on this guided street-art walk. Wander through hidden courtyards and up-and-coming districts while your guide decodes the murals and the social context behind them.
Full description
An English-speaking street-art guide leads this walk through alleyways, courtyards and developing or underground districts, introducing murals and graffiti by local and visiting artists.
