A great off-the-beaten path walking tour to do in Athens. It was great to learn more about current affairs in Athens. Exarcheia is a unique and beautiful neighborhood and community. Agathi was so knowledgeable and fun to walk around with.

현대 그리스와 아테네 사람들의 삶을 조금이나마 이해할 수 있게 해준 뜻깊은 시간이었습니다. 근현대사와 도시 개발, 젠트리피케이션에 대해 관심있는 분들께 추천합니다. 특히 한국의 현대사와도 닮은 점이 많아 공감할 수 있었습니다. 엑사헤리아 지역의 주요 장소들을 돌아보았고 이후 로컬들이 찾는 맛집과 주요 장소들에 대해서도 추천해주었습니다. 혼자 참가했는데도 처음부터 끝까지 진지하게 가이드해주셔서 감사했습니다.
