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.

This is a very wonderful explanation. Isaac has a very in-depth understanding and research on the refugee crisis in Greece. Another unexpected bonus for me is that he found many high-quality and low-priced Middle Eastern restaurants. Highly recommended!

I would definately reccomend booking this experience with Isaac , he educated us on the refugee crisis and answered any questions we had . I also left interested in looking deeper into it myself and gave us alot to consider.

This was a great experience, and highly recommend if you want to know more about some of the context for Greece and relationships with refugees. Very thought provoking, and I feel is important to understand.
