Free Athens
Welcome to our country and to our city! We did not intend to publish another guide, like those you will find in a bookstore or in an information kiosk. We wanted to create a free press to talk about Athens in a more realistic way. As travellers ourselves, we enjoy finding interesting guides and magazines to read in every destination. This is a good way to explore the culture and enter the reality of the place we visit. That’s why we thought it would be a good idea to create something like this for you. Our articles try to show you Athens beyond clichés and reproductions of formal pictures. We aim to share with you -even a little bit- the soul and the identity of the city that will host you for a few days or more. We want to show you details that deserve your attention, streets that are ideal for long walks, neighbourhoods that if you hadn’t read about, you would have not visited. Join us to feel the cohesion of the city, its contrasts and its identity. Whatever is real is nice, isn’t it? Have fun! *Send us your impressions, photos and reviews from your stay in Athens at “[email protected]”

Welcome to Athens… the new Berlin?
It’s a city that was oppressed and divided. A city where hard times inspired and fueled the artists, the alternative voices, the hidden culture. Where innovation became a necessity in design, circular economy or recycling.
