Street Art Tour & Graffiti Malerei Workshop in Athen

This walking tour through the Gazi and Kerameiko areas is filled with incredible street art murals and, of course, graffiti. Our guide, Kalliopi, was fun to be with, and we learned a lot from her about the origins of many of the murals, as well as the “code” (if you will) of the taggers who create the graffiti. Some of the streets and cozy byways we traversed were extremely colorful because of the street art or graffiti on the walls. After the tour we went to Kalliopi’s studio and created (decorated) our very own totes. This was a very fun activity. I highly recommended it!

Wonderful guide! Kaliope was friendly, super knowledgeable, and has a real passion for the art. The tote bag portion of the tour was outstanding. We went back to her art studio where we had the opportunity to work with aerosols and a variety of other art mediums on walls as well as the tote, which was easier to transport home. Don’t miss this tour!

This was our third time in Athens, and we were looking for a fresh experience. This turned out to be the perfect way to discover the city’s contemporary art scene and get a deeper sense of what Athens is really about today. And the workshop was the cherry on the top. We only wish we had done it sooner. Loved every moment!

Great walk around the neighborhood and workshop with artist Kalliopi! She showed us and talked about both the famous murals and intriguing works by anonymous artists. Back in the studio, we spray-painted our totes and decorated them using stencils or freehand drawing. Kalliopi was very helpful, so totes came out great!

Great activity as it mixing between giving you a cultural tour where the streets are a museum and artcraft where you actually engage with doing and producing your own piece. We had a tour around the neighborhood and saw really impressive street art with good explanation and background information. Then we went to the studio were we had an introduction to what we can do. After we choose or cut our stencils we went outside to practice on how to spray on a wall. Finally we also sprayed the bags we were given. Really fun.

What an amazing experience celebrating my daughters 18th, she is the art lover but me and my partner enjoyed the experience as well and loved learning the meaning behind the artworks. But the best part was making the bags, my daughter said this trip made the trip to Greece and she loved athens but this was the thing she said was the highlight, thank you so much for the experience and I highly recommend to anyone who is an art lover or even if your not .
