After meeting with a member of the Be a Greek team outside the Panepistimio Metro Station, you will enjoy a 4h long walking tour in the most alternative and authentic neighbourhoods of Athens, during which you will have the opportunity to get acquainted with the Athenian Street Art scene.

We will begin from Exarchia, a well-known neighbourhood for its artistic and student aura. Exclusive street artists such as WD, STMTS, Sonke and iNO have given a special touch to the urban landscape, highlighting this neighbourhood and making it famous all around the world. In Exarchia we will also have the opportunity to relax while enjoying our coffee in a local cafe, decorated with unique anamorphic graffiti.

Continuing we will find ourselves in Psyrri, discovering both its touristic and its alternative character, while admiring some of the most famous and beautiful works of art such as the famous dog Loukanikos (Sausage in Greek), which testify to the socio-political situation of our country.
In this part of the walk, we will have the opportunity to talk, among other things, about the amazing artist Achilles and get to know some of his unique works.

Leaving behind Psyrri, we will pass by the Kerameikos pedestrian area, admiring the contrast between the ancient exhibits of Kerameikos and the contemporary artworks of the area. After a few minutes we will reach one of the highlights of our Tour, the enormous DaVinci murals created by the hands of iNO, undoubtedly an exquisite example of the Athenian Street Art.
Arriving at Kerameikos Metro Station our tour will come to an end, having enjoyed a day full of pictures and an amazing experience.
