Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

Over the past couple of decades, Athens’ Gazi district has seen an incredible amount of development, becoming the new cool place to be in the city. It’s now full of restaurants, cafés, cinemas, bars, music venues, and, of course, art – the old city gasworks has been turned into a museum/cultural center named “Technopolis”, which may be unique in Europe.

Stop 2 Pass by

Artisan accessories, exotic spice bazaars, and bohemian cafe-bars, they’re all part of the village vibe of this must-see neighbourhood, which features some of the best street art in town!
