Athens Street Art Walking Tour: 3-Hour Private Experience

A local artist leads you through the neighborhoods where Athens' street art actually lives.

This private 3-hour walking tour takes you through Athens' street art districts (Gazi, Metaxourgio and Psiri) with a guide who is a working artist. You see larger-than-life murals, intricate graffiti and stencils while learning the stories and techniques behind the pieces. Hotel pickup is available if your accommodation is in the historic center.

The experience

Three hours is enough to move through three neighborhoods without rushing, and the route stays on foot. Your guide is a local artist, which means the commentary goes beyond what's painted on the walls to how it got there: the techniques, the artists' intentions, the evolution of each piece you stop at. The tour covers Gazi, Metaxourgio and Psiri, the districts where the street art scene is most active and concentrated.

The walking pace suits all fitness levels. If your hotel is in the historic center of Athens, you can arrange pickup directly from there instead of meeting at a set point. Contact the operator at least 24 hours ahead to confirm. Children up to 11 travel free, and infants can ride in a stroller. A city map is included, and the guide speaks either English or French depending on which option you book at checkout.

What’s included

• Private guide.
