Kalliopi Markopoulou
What is this?
Step into the heart of Athens’ urban art scene, where creativity meets culture. Wander through the vibrant neighborhoods of Kerameikos, Gazi, and Psyrri, uncovering striking murals and hidden graffiti. Learn about the techniques and inspirations behind these works, and how local artists use the city as their canvas to reflect social issues, personal expression, and cultural identity. Discover their stories and the impact of street art on Athens’ evolving urban landscape.
Take a break to enjoy a taste of authentic Greek street food at a carefully selected local spot, adding a flavorful touch to your artistic journey. Then, step into The Art Lab for a hands-on graffiti workshop led by local artists. Experiment with stencil techniques, master the spray can, and create your own design on a tote bag or canvas to take home as a one-of-a-kind souvenir. No experience needed—just your imagination and a passion for self-expression.
What makes this unique?
This isn't just about admiring street art—it's about stepping into the heart of Athens' creative pulse, guided by two passionate locals who live and breathe the city’s artistic scene. Kalliopi and Thomas, a dynamic duo united by their love for art and urban exploration, invite you to see Athens through their eyes—far beyond the typical postcard views.
Raised in opposite suburbs and now calling the historic district of Kerameikos home, they’ve spent years uncovering the stories, inspirations, and evolving techniques behind Athens' mesmerizing murals and graffiti. Their deep connection to the city and its art gives you a rare insider’s perspective, blending history, culture, and personal anecdotes into every stop along the way.
More than an observation, this is an invitation to engage. You'll not only gain a deeper understanding of Athens’ urban artistry but also step into the creative process yourself, experimenting with graffiti techniques in a hands-on workshop.
