Discover The Hidden Shops and Artisans of Athens!

Tour snapshot

Uncover a hidden community of Athens, one that is made up of artists, artisans, and craftspeople.

Athens is often described as one of the most “alternative” cities in Europe, so you won’t be short of interesting encounters and sights on this tour!

Explore open markets dedicated to antiques and shop for souvenirs that are so much more interesting than fridge magnets – and that, of course, comes with a story of their own.

Local impact — How you help the local community by joining this tour

  • Your tour supports the new generation of Athenians, such as young artists, by promoting their work and their enterprises to help them thrive through the financial crisis.
  • This tour also offers you the opportunity to see street art and visit alternative neighbourhoods that don’t generally benefit from tourism.
  • All of the stores you visit on your tour are 100% locally owned and run. Supporting small-scale, locally-run businesses helps to preserve the traditional character of old Athens.
  • By joining this tour you are supporting a street vendor who sells traditional koulouri sesame rings, which helps increase his income.
