Meeting Point

My husband and I like all sorts of tours that make us feel like part of the city we are visiting, not just like tourists. There are lots of historical sites in a city like Athens and they all are amazing. But Athens is a living, breathing city, filled with young people as well as old. We wanted to know what life was like for the young people. We also wanted to know how Athens was dealing with the many social issues effecting the world.
