About this tour
This session covers Gazi as the neighbourhood wakes up for the night, from the converted gasworks at Technopolis to the bars along Persefonis Street. Nikos explains how the area changed from an industrial gasworks district into one of the city's main nightlife strips. The camera stays on the street so you see the crowds and lighting as they build through the evening.
Nikos starts with a sound check near the metro square before walking the main strip, timing the route so the lighting is at its best by the middle of the call. He answers questions about specific bars as he passes them and keeps moving so the energy of the street comes through. A short list of the spots shown follows by message.
This suits travellers who want a feel for Athens after dark without going out alone late at night. It also works for anyone deciding where to spend an evening later in their trip.

Questions about this tour

What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
