About this tour

How did the ‘cradle of democracy’ become the ‘basket case of Europe’? The question may be crude and offensive, but it captures the essence of much thinking around the globe in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. This interactive storytelling walk is meant to have the flow and information-heavy experience of a documentary.

It takes us into a comprehensive analysis, providing surprising answers. It highlights the social and political elements of Greece, from the creation of the Greek state to modern times. We’ll address both historical and current events from a balanced & non-biased point of view to help you determine your views of this land for yourself.

The experience is aimed at people with a genuine interest in politics and those keen to learn more about the situation in Greece by conducting some first-hand research.

-The duration of this experience is between 2h30mins and 3h30mins depending on Q&A.

-Feel free to contact me for a date and hour that suits you best, and to create a combined program with my other experiences (Understanding the Refugee Crisis and Awful Athens).

Frequently asked questions

The conscious traveler seeking both entertainment and knowledge can explore Greek politics on a microcosmic level by visiting key institutional and historical places. A walk through these public spaces will provide insights into Greece's past and present political landscape.

Issac designed a walk with a great flow and tied in each location with a chronological recounting of the political history of greece, from the revolution against the ottomans all the way through present day. A wonderful guide.

It was such an amazing experience walking and talking with Issac in a sunny afternoon of Athens. He was able to quickly understand my knowledge level about the history/politics topics and tailored the tour to optimize my experience. Walking in Exarchia area with Issac and listening to the stories opened a door for me to see some of the cultural/political evolvement in the country. Issac is very knowledgeable and informative. Overall I would highly recommend a walk with Issac. It will definitely provide a whole new level of experience for you especially if you are looking for some in depth travel experience.

Went the first time 4 years ago not expecting much but ending up with a fascinating tour. As we were back in Athens, took the tour again to get up to speed with recent political developments. This time, I have brought my wife along, and Isaac did not fail to impress us both.
