At the same time, in recent years the city has been taking significant steps towards the implementation of sustainable urban strategies in all areas of life, under the guidance of the European Union.
The tour focuses on the concept of urban sustainability of Athens, through its historical and contemporary buildings. A visit to new and renewed neighborhoods such as the Psiri neighborhood (Athens’ Florentine) through the eyes of local architects and planners.
The tour includes the urban center of Athens, the flea market in Monstraki, the old city – the Plaka, the Acropolis mountain and more. Also, the tour will take us to the colorful and special port of Piraeus as well as the university district that surrounds and the solar neighborhood of the city.
On the last day, we will go on a graffiti tour around the city, guided by a local graffiti artist.
