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 an insightful and eye-opening tour. Isaac was very knowledgeable, both of the subject matter but also Athens itself. He took us to parts of the city not ordinarly known to tourists and enriched my holiday as a result. Isaac is personable and the 90min flew by. Highly recommended if you want to do something unique and authentic.

A thoughtful, detailed socio-political view of refugee experiences in Athens. Very moving to see the different neighborhoods and locations where refugees live.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see something in Athens besides the tourist sites. It is not only interesting but also important. Yitzhak is an excellent guide, knowledgeable about the topics he guides about and funny.
