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).

I had such a great experience with this tour and was delighted to have a glimpse of the contemporary greek lives and the international/domestic political circumstances of the country. Issac’s storytelling kept me interested the whole time and kindly answered to all of my curiosities. Definitely recommend this tour if you want to explore more than acropolis while being in Athens.

I recently had the pleasure of joining Isaac's Athens Social and Political Walk during my trip to this vibrant city, and I cannot recommend it enough! This unique experience provided me with a deeper understanding of the country's political culture, shedding light on the fascinating reasons behind certain aspects of Greek society that I had never known before. Isaac, was a knowledgeable and passionate guide, and led us through the streets of Athens What I appreciated most about the tour was its focus on context. Isaac skillfully connected the dots between past events and the current socio-political landscape, painting a comprehensive picture of Greece's rich history. From the birth of democracy to modern-day political challenges, Isaac's in-depth knowledge and ability to explain the complexities of Greek politics were truly impressive. Moreover, the tour allowed us to explore Athens beyond the typical tourist sites. We delved into the heart of the city, visiting significant landmarks, hidden gems, and local gathering spots. The tour itself was well-structured and paced perfectly. By the end of the walk, I felt a better sense of connection to Athens and a deeper appreciation for the country's political journey. If you're looking to gain a fresh perspective on Athens and Greece, I wholeheartedly recommend Isaac's tour.
