Highlights

Refugees continue to arrive in Greece and Europe, yet the media often fails to address the underlying reasons why people are fleeing their countries. This walk aims to delve into the challenges faced by refugees, moving beyond a purely academic perspective. By highlighting their struggles, it seeks to foster a more empathetic understanding of their situations. This walk offers a unique opportunity to get introduced to the harsh realities refugees endure, helping to shift our perspectives and attitudes towards them. Please note that this experience may not be suitable for those who are easily overwhelmed. Although it is safe, please understand its nature before booking. Feel free to contact me to arrange a date and time that suits you best for this experience. Furthermore, if you're interested in my other offerings, such as the Athens Social and Political Walk, don't hesitate to let me know.

About Athens

Athens sets the Acropolis above a sprawling modern capital, where ancient ruins, hillside lanes and long taverna evenings sit side by side.

The Parthenon crowns the Acropolis, flanked by the Erechtheion and its porch of caryatids, and the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill displays sculpture found on the rock. Around it, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the marble Panathenaic Stadium make the classical city easy to walk through.
