About this tour

Refugee arrivals to Greece and Europe keep going. The media focuses intensely on the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ but often fails to mention why people have been forced to flee their countries.

This walk seeks to give you the chance to understand and observe first-hand their situation. Furthermore, we will draw parallels between what has happened in the history of Greece and what is currently happening in Syria, Afghanistan, and other countries of the wider region.

The idea is to make us realize that none of us are immune to turbulent times, that the refugees of today are escaping real danger. By understanding their situation, we can start to change our attitudes.

-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.

-Feel free to contact me for a date and hour that suits you best, and to create a combined program with my other experience called Athens Social and Political Walk.

 

Where You'll be

Victoria, Aghios Panteleimonas, Omonia, and Metaxourgio: An area full of abandoned neoclassical buildings and some of the most multicultural neighborhoods in Athens.

Please take into account that during the walk you will observe a certain degree of urban decay.

Very informative. I didn't know much about the refugee crisis but I learned a lot on this tour and how multi-faceted the situation is. Isaac really knows his stuff. I never felt uncomfortable at all during any part of the walk. Very recommended to see a different side of Athens, with places and situations typical Athenians avoid.

Really good, visited lots of places we wouldn't have found on our own and heard many local stories, giving us an insight to the current situation in Athens

Isaac is friendly & humorous. Was an interesting & insightful tour to know more about the history, politics & lifestyle of refugees in Athens. Bonus points for the food recommendations!
