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.

Not only is Isaac very knowledgeable in the issues at hand, he also weaves the information together in the tour in a form of story that progresses as you move around town. I felt safe throughout, and Isaac was excited and able to answer every question we had on the tour. The issues discussed on the tour were heavy, as was seeing and hearing about the souls affected. Greece is truly at the heart of so many colliding political and humanitarian circumstances, and Isaac is able to tie it all together to create understanding. Highly recommend if you're interested in learning about the migrant crisis and current situation in Athens and Greece! This is no typical tour - expect to learn truly substantial facts and stories that you can take with you and chew on.
Fantastic experience with Isaac. He is a wealth of knowledge and insight, and has an incredibly valuable talent: he can communicate complex issues with nuance. 100% recommend to any visitor to Athens who is interested in starting to understand modern Greece and how it is a key player in contemporary geopolitics.

Isaac is one of my favorite people! His tours are unlike anything I’ve ever experienced and I could do them 100 times. Definitely don’t miss this on your trip to athens!
