The street paper that has changed the lives of many people - not only the street sellers but also the readers. Rich in themes it is always a pleasure to get the next issue from the smiling seller. Well organized offices, great journalists, an exceptional initiative.

My son and myself had an absolute pleasure to be a part of Street Art Tour, beginning of March 2020 (pre-covid). Great activity for anyone who's willing to get different perspective and explore corners that probably you would miss otherwise. It is very hard to find engaging activities for 16-17 year old. This is one of them, highly recommended! Special thanks to our guide Niko aka Rude. We loved it.

Like any other historic places, you will find this almost same as them. And by same, I do not mean the exact same, I mean there is nothing so much unique to see there. But it is good for sight seeing and photography purposes. The whole city (Athens) has its own unique vide though. If you somehow visit it then it is fine but don't go there specially because you won't see anything new.

One of the most special museums in Athens and my personal favorite. Their collection is amazing and spans centuries of Islamic history and culture. Housed in a renovated neoclassical building with a Cafe on the terrace. Which has a really great view. So worth visiting!

This tour was fabulous! George was such a great and entertaining storyteller. I remember insights from Greek history days after (and hopefully also in the future). There was just the right amount of walking and talking and whenever I had an additional question, George could answer it on the spot! I loved the additional recommendation on where to get a great view of the city and what museum to visit. I did both and I sure was not disappointed. I fully recommend!

I visited this shop in September of 2014. I got a pair of sandals and loved the experience. I wear them semi often and they have held up perfectly. They are still beautiful. I am excited to return this year (2020) and get another pair. I darkened mine with olive oil a couple times to darken the sandals and I love the look. If I remember correctly only some styles were available when I went. Is there a way to know which ones will be available or request a certain style to be available?

Nice cafe and perfect for an excursion in occasional exhibitions. Just opposite the parliament it is a jewel of neoclassic architecture developed in Athens after the Turkish occupation.
