To the rest of the world, Greece is a country rich in ancient history and stunning beauty. But there's a lot that this simple narrative leaves out. For instance, how did the 'cradle of democracy' become Europe's 'basket case'? The question may seem crude but it captures a great deal of thought in the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008. We'll dig into dark secrets and forgotten places during our four-days trip. You'll discover an Athens with a completely distinct cultural and social character, although you'll also have free time to explore Athens' ancient origins. You'll also get the chance to embark on a day trip to Nafplio, the first capital of the modern Greek state, a picturesque seaside town that was historically the setting for murder, exile, imprisonment, and riots. Beauty, they say, is in the eyes of the beholder. Do you want to see another side of Greece? You are in the right place! This trip is just for true adventurers who want to see the uncensored side of Greece. 🙌 About me: Hi, I am Isaac, a 32-year-old Political Scientist, and Experiences host.

Reiseverlauf
1

Athens

Tag 1-2
When you arrive in Athens, spend some time getting familiar with the city. In the afternoon, we'll meet for introductions before embarking on a tour that will help you understand Greek society and politics. We'll travel through the city's most important institutional sites, as well as Exarcheia, which is known for being Athens' historical core of radical political activism. You will be capable of understanding how each public place relates to Greece's past and current situation.

Athens

Tag 2-4
After breakfast this morning, you will discover a contrasting Athens, with another topography. Bustling places where tourists refugees and immigrants, street vendors, and passers-by bump into each other, passing through it in a rush. This mix of cultural diversity mirror 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. You'll also get some free time in the afternoon to explore the city at your convenience.

Nafplion

Tag 4
You'll take a day trip to Nafplio on the third day. Nafplion is a little city with colourful neoclassical buildings, balconies with blossoming flowers, and stunning sunset views. It is known to practically every Greek as the first capital city of modern Greece but is still mostly unknown to the rest of the world. Nafplio does, however, have a fascinating dark side, one that involves a number of extremely horrific stories that may be found in the town's buildings and landmarks. We'll visit a beach east of the Palamidi castle outside of Nafplio later in the day. It is the best beach because of the extensive stretches of sand and eucalyptus trees.
