The Bohemian Side of Athens Tour

Organized by Grecian Lux

Athens may be famous for its ancient glory like the Parthenon, the Caryatids, and all the other wonders of Greece’s mythical times, but Athens is not only about the past! It is a modern city with creative locals and cool vibes, a city with modern-day stories and secrets as exciting as the Greek myths!

On this Athens city tour, you wander around lesser-known neighbourhoods where locals love to hang out and discover secret corners that are beyond areas traditionally found in guidebooks.

Start your tour by sipping a traditional Greek coffee in a central-but-totally-hidden garden known by locals. Enjoy your coffee while sitting among some awesome monuments and hear stories about the buildings that surround the garden.

Continuing your walk, you learn about heroes and outlaws, queens and kings, as well as the centuries-old Athens that is hidden beneath your feet. Strolling through hidden alleys while hearing stories about locals’ traditions and superstitions, you pass by bohemian workshops and cultural spaces where new artists have set up their galleries and see how life is for middle-class Athenians.

Then, discover one of the biggest street art scenes in the world. Check out the amazing murals hidden among the bustling streets of the city and learn about the art of graffiti and its importance as a way of expression for the new generation of Athenians. Keep in mind that even the word ‘graffiti’ comes from the Greek word grafi, which means ‘written.’

During this Athens tour, you see the mesmerizing blend of the old with the new around the city. You get a better understanding of this ancient city and how it has evolved. While walking around with us, you have the opportunity to taste flavors and aromas of the city, such as sweets, local tapas, and of course, spirits.

By the end of this tour, you will have experienced the authentic side of Europe’s oldest city, Athens!
