    Love Exarchia, its mood, street art. Even having coffee and watching people. Love this anarchist part of Athens.

      It’s a great place to watch people. Especially as the people are different than the rest of Athens.

      Solidarity with all those who struggle against oppression and for autonomy. I was trying to find out more about the anarchism, since I just learned about how they sell a lot of goods that were made by the Zapatistas, and I found that really interesting. Considering Mexico and Athens are a little far from each other hehe.

    I wish the graffiti would stop..for me, it ruins everything!! It gives the place a rundown look!! But I still liked Exarchia!! The greeks don't know what a bad dangerous area is!! This area is mild in comparison to my home country of South Africa!I never felt intimidated by any area in Greece!!But as usual your videos are entertaining and informative!

      Thank you. It is hard to say as some years it’s raining and some not. Be prepared for both. The rain doesn’t usually last long though. Santorini will be very quiet at that time of year and could have cooler winds at night. It definitely won’t be beach weather then.

    I love Greece 🇬🇷 but I hate all that graffiti around, is like a illness that never ends unfortunately 😞
    Beautiful architecture, beautiful history from ancient times and the graffiti destroys everything, is a shame actually, not appreciation for what they have.
    But I blame he authorities for not enforcing the law, give big penalty to who ever do those things and the other ones will Stop, but the authorities will never do anything, only what it benefits them 🤷🏻‍♀️

      Part of it stems from the crisis in my opinion. Kids who have no money and too much free time. Now it’s just a habit with no consequences.

      I understand what you are saying but Exarchia can be dangerous during a protest. The protesters tend to throw Molotov cocktails. Well some protesters not all.

    Graffiti in Athens should equal jail time. Effectively Immediately, no plea, no bond, no trial. MONTHS in prison.
    And if caught again, YEARS in prison.

    I have a good friend who lives there and yes in her younger years she was an anarchist. When I was in Greece I would go often to visit her. They have/ had some nice shoe shops in Exarchia. Everything you said was spot on. At night it gets a little dicey, wouldn't feel comfortable walking around. I remember the heavy police or riot police presence. It's very close to the city center which would make it a nice place to live, but not.

    • @agirlandherpassport

      There are still police there every time I go. Usually around the square. I do wonder if the metro will change it or not. Only time will tell.

    Exarchia has been a safe haven for marginalised communities, from refugees, LGBTQ s, political dissidents etc. It should preserve it's identity. Whether i would like to live there, no, just the noise of the occasional battle between protesters and police would make very anxious. I'm very sensitive to sounds. Anyway, thanks for the video and enjoy your 2024 travels both local and international. Cheers
