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 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.

We found the tour with Isaac interesting and informative. We got to see areas in Athens which normally we would not see. Isaac told us some interesting stories. Definitely not your usual kind of tour but we were glad we went and would recommend it if you are interested in social/political issues

We really enjoyed the tour with Isaac. It was a great chance to see a different side of Athens we would never have seen or learned about otherwise. Isaac is also full of advice about where to find the best food from different immigrant communities in Athens. It's a unique experience that we're really glad we went on. If you're on the fence about booking this tour, do it!
