Athens Urban Street Art Tour
Beschrijving
Dit is de perfecte activiteit voor diegenen die de stedelijke cultuur van Athene willen verkennen. Samen bezoeken we de beste muurschilderingen en het werk van de beroemdste straatartiesten van de stad. Dit is de beste manier om kennis te maken met de verrassende en drukke straatartscene van Athene. Je leert hoe de sociaal-economische factoren en de crisis de stedelijke cultuur en de lokale kunstenaars de laatste jaren hebben beïnvloed. Je ziet veel straatkunst die verbonden is met zowel de huidige als verleden situatie, en begrijpt hoeveel van de kunstenaars werden beïnvloed, en wat elk werk vertegenwoordigt. Je hebt ook de mogelijkheid om verschillende wijken en opkomende gebieden van Athene te verkennen terwijl je je onder de lokale bevolking begeeft. Uw deskundige gids over straatkunst neemt u buiten de gebaande paden door kleine steegjes en verborgen binnenplaatsen in het centrum van Athene. Tijdens deze activiteit leert u ook hoe u de berichten, tekeningen en afbeeldingen die u onderweg vindt, kunt decoderen.

Excellent walk around to see fantastic and thought provoking street art. Our guide Penelope was excellent and shared loads of interesting info.
What an incredible 2.5 hours! We learnt so much about Athens through its amazing spray-can urban artworks - both legal and illegal. It’s great to see the socio-economic, environmental, political and cultural history of Athens reflected in such a vivid mix of murals, sticker art, slogans and stencils. I’ve enjoyed these types of tours in other worldwide cities - Mexico City, Belfast, Bogota, Rio, Madrid and many others - and iye guide for Athens, Penelope, was a superb. My daughter is 16 and it was her first Urban Art Tour and she really enjoyed it, especially as Penelope engaged directly with her and was so open and knowledgeable.
Katarina was amazing!!! Friendly, engaging, pleasant, professional, warm, and obviously very experienced! She was incredibly knowledgeable and I learned so much. She was very patient answering all my questions. She was quite accommodating and went out of her way to show me some street art I asked about. I especially appreciate that she showed up for the tour, even though I was the only participant. She is committed! I highly recommend this tour!
The perfect mix of walking and stopping to explore the fabulous street art hidden in plain site. Penelope was a wonderful guide who knew her stuff- a nice mix of folklore, history and artist information and background. We did this tour the day we arrived in Athens and it was a nice way to get acclimated.
I love art so I was excited to participate on this street art excursion. Penelope was our guide and she was friendly, engaging and very knowledgeable. We saw some amazing art, learned about the artists and history, and got to go off the beaten path which I really enjoyed. This was a 10/10 experience and I highly recommend it.
Lots of information and interesting stories. I was great to visit further neighborhoods that tourists usually omit. It could last even 30 min longer to cover more art works . Worth to recommend. I just wish the price was lower
Anyone who comes to Athens will notice the graffiti tagging however this tour tells you the full history and shows loads of amazing work done by street artists. The tour very much surpassed my expectations, it has been the highlight of my trip to Athens! 😄 My tour guide was fantastic, super friendly and also had a deep knowledge of all the murals and their history and meaning.
The street-art tour was really a surprise. Thanks to our enthusiastic guide, we got a wonderful insight into the stories behind the artworks and their place in the history of Athens. An inspiring walk and absolutely recommended!
I really enjoyed my street art tour with Penelope. She had great background knowledge about all the pieces she showed me and was very passionate about the subject. We went also to places that were less touristic, so it was nice to see also the normal neighbourhoods. I participated in street art tours in different cities and this was definetely one of the bests I ever had.
I had one of the best street art tours ever with Penelope. She had a great background knowledge of the murals/pieces she showed me and it was a lot of fun to discover the city through her eyes, also to see the less touristic places.
