Full description from organizer

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. If you would like to have it in Spanish or Greek, please let us know before booking to ensure availability. Feel free to contact us at [email protected] for a different date and time.
