They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. But some places are really awful. Want to see a different side of 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 is not advised for the faint-hearted. Nothing is going to happen to you, but know what you are booking. This experience is conducted in English by default.
