Discover the “secret codes” of street artists as you enjoy an alternative tour in the centre of the city and the reasons why street art has flourished on their walls.
Your guide will focus on the social and political aspects of the Greek street art scene to uncover what political statements the artists are making and why, along with the legacy of the financial crisis which urged people to express themselves on the streets.
