About this tour
This late night walk covers Psiri's bars and murals, starting at Iroon Square and finishing along the busier stretch of Miaouli Street. Dimitris explains how the neighbourhood's old workshop buildings were converted into bars without losing their original shopfronts. The camera lingers on the murals covering many of the side streets along the way.
Dimitris checks his connection in the square before moving through the narrower lanes, where he slows down for a closer look at specific murals. He answers questions about the neighbourhood's history as a working class district as he walks, and keeps an eye on the time so the route does not run long. A short list of the bars and murals follows afterwards.
This suits travellers curious about street art and nightlife together, especially those who want to see the area before deciding where to go out later. It also works for anyone interested in how old industrial buildings get reused.
