Maria's Review of Get Your Guide's Athens Street Art Tour

What Maria thinks

Today, I learned that street art has evolved from the early forms of defiant graffiti into a more commercial form of art, with one of the main differences now lying in messaging. During the street art tour, we enjoyed walking through Athens while deciphering the secret messages behind the art and learning about the city through its graffiti. Guided by a real artist, we had the opportunity to see how Athens' economic and social crises are portrayed by street artists. My favorite part of this tour was discovering that some artists use street art as a way to raise awareness of social and political issues, while others use urban spaces to display personal artwork. If you are a cultural enthusiast, don't miss out on this chance to experience the culture and creativity of Athens.
