Urban Athens Collective

Urban Athens is a collective consisting of people whose common characteristic is that they love their city and have deep knowledge of her. Their vision is to offer their knowledge to those who are really interested in discovering the unknown Athens. Our main activities include organizing walking interactive tours in Athens, focusing on what hides behind what we see, trying to connect the ancient city, through the years of its existence, reaching today’s modern Athens and the contemporary life. Our vision is to give, both to the citizens and travellers, a different view of our city, by discovering the not so common, but of great historic importance ancient ruins, neighbourhoods, buildings, caves and crypts, revealing urban myths and discovering unknown hidden paths, having fun while strolling around the city and at the same time gaining the knowledge needed to understand the modern lifestyle of the city. Through our activities we support other groups to continue their volunteering work, local social businesses and traditional workshops.
