Awful Athens

They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. But some places are really awful. Want to see a different side of Athens? You’re in the right place! You will find a contrasting city, with a totally different cultural and social character, and another topography. Bustling places where tourists and immigrants, street vendors, and passers-by bump into each other, passing through it in a rush. This mix of cultural diversity and mirror of social “disorder”. Ungentrified and lively, the oldest limb of the modern metropolis—an area where no-frills Greek classics sit next to ethnic eats, 60s office blocks, and old printing presses. Not Athens’ prettiest face. Godforsaken places and a lot of urban decay: awful can be awesome. Dare to see it. Discover one of the most controversial and offbeat areas of Athens – only for true explorers. Please note that this experience may not be suitable for those who are easily overwhelmed. While no harm will come to you during the walk, it is important to understand the nature of the experience. Feel free to contact me to arrange a date and time that suits you best. Furthermore, if you're interested in my other offerings, such as Athens Social and Political Walk, don't hesitate to let me know. Please let me know before booking if you would like this experience in Spanish so that I can confirm availability for you.
