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.

This is one of the best tours I have ever taken. Isaac skilfully manages to discuss a broad range of subjects and events relevant to the current composition of the modern Greek state. Isaac uses humour and expertise to keep you engaged and enthralled throughout. Very thoughtful and well presented. Isaac is also accommodating and personable, making this experience one to remember.
