About this event

They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. But some places are really awful. Want to see a different side of Athens? You’re in the right place!

You will find a contrasting city, with a totally different cultural and social character, and another topography. Bustling places where tourists and immigrants, street vendors, and passers-by bump into each other, passing through it in a rush. This mix of cultural diversity and mirror of social “disorder”.

Ungentrified and lively, the oldest limb of the modern metropolis—an area where no-frills Greek classics sit next to ethnic eats, 60s office blocks, and old printing presses. Not Athens’ prettiest face.

Godforsaken places and a lot of urban decay: awful can be awesome. Dare to see it.

Discover one of the most controversial and offbeat areas of Athens – only for true explorers.
