5.Athens street art tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 27 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $55

Walk through four Athens neighborhoods with a guide such as Agatha, Agnes, or Kalliope, learning the stories, politics, and methods behind murals and graffiti. This English-language tour costs $55.18, lasts about 2.5 hours, and limits the group to eight people. It starts near The Stanley Hotel and ends in Psirri.

“This was a fabulous tour of Athens’ amazing street art, graffiti and commissioned murals. Agatha, our tour leader, was knowledgeable and engaging. Spending a few hours touring the art and walking through the various neighborhoods with Agatha was effortless. My family of three were the only people on the tour and sometimes this can make things awkward. Instead, Agatha engaged each of us and kept our interest high throughout the trip. The art was amazing and Agatha explained the recent history of Athens, the artists, and their politics. I highly recommend this tour and would encourage you to request Agatha as your tour leader!”
