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.

Really interesting tour! Isaac has great knowledge of the political and economical factors involved. So grateful to him for helping me distribute some items to families we came across and appreciate him being able to take me to places I’d only read about...and some areas I would never have known about and never have visited alone! Really different side of Athens seen and crucial for not forgetting the challenges disadvantaged people in society face.

Isaac’s tour of such a niche topic was a definite must do in Athens if you are interested in this topic. I highly recommend doing this tour as it taught us so much about the Refugee crisis and more. We also got to see cool parts of Athens we would have never ventured into, which was amazing. Isaac went above and beyond for us and we ended up leaving feeling like we had made a good friend :).

Isaac's tour was a wonderful street view of many of the issues that plague us globally. He is knowledgeable and passionate about the topic, and is comfortable with discussing many different geopolitical topics. Exactly the type of tour my wife and I enjoy, as you get to peel back the sheen of tourism for just an afternoon, a learn about the experiences of all peoples in Athens. Highly recommend. I will enjoy discussing these issues with Isaac for many years to come.
