Uncensored Athens – RY Marketplace

Marketplace

Description
How Athens the capital city of an ancient glorious past became a bunch of chaos, noise and urban ruins? How from Acropolis can someone end up next street, walking to a “dark” area that no Greeks go? Or which ones go? Who actually lives and works in the most underground neighborhoods of Athens and how queer people managed to survive this long in such a harsh hetero-normative ‘jungle’? What does it take to live in Athens today? All these questions, as well as more, are going to be answered through observing, discussing and experiencing the Athenian urban decay.
In this walk we are going to exchange perspectives and feelings created from the places we visit and the stories we hear. You will have the chance to see the uncensored side of Athens. You will also be able to participate to an interactive game with cards, with words in a language you certainly know nothing about and unfold the history of it. Note: Some places or activities we see, are of sensitive content and might make you feel uncomfortable. Thus, it would be good to let me know about it at the beginning of the tour, so I can adapt the route accordingly.  What’s Included

Host Introduction  My name is Mary (She/Her). I was born and grew up in Athens and I also lived in Germany for 5 years. I’m a pedagogue by studies and an LGBTQIA+ and feminist activist by heart (I’m pansexual). I love sharing my experience with people from all over the world, because I believe that sharing is the key to keep our history alive and build a more equal future! Minimum To Operate

What is the refund policy?

For questions concerning refunds, please email [email protected]. Please note most bookings made within 24 hours are fully refundable. Bookings made outside the 24 hour policy are not eligible for a refund. Please keep in mind, we will automatically refund bookings that are disrupted by extreme weather conditions, last minute cancellations from our suppliers or the minimum number is not met by the booking deadline.

What happens if my booking is changed/cancelled due to weather?

We’ll control the weather. Just kidding! Remote Year can’t control the weather or many other factors that go into planning events. In the event of a change due to weather, the City Manager will do their best to provide a make-up option. Due to last minute changes and busy monthly schedules, we cannot guarantee it works for everyone but we’ll do our best! If you are not able to attend the make-up date(s), we will fully refund your booking.

I have a discount or gift code, can I use it to complete my purchase?

Yes, once you add your item to your cart and check out, you will be able to input the code before completing the purchase. If you need help finding your code, please double check your inbox. You received an email from Marketplace with the code.

Can I book for a friend / family member?

Yes! We welcome your friends and family coming to visit you while you travel the world. Please refer to our Friends and Family policy: Friends & Family (visitors of active Remotes and active Citizens) may be granted access to private Remote Year events, Local Experiences, Side Trips, Community Events, Local Amenity and Services at an extra cost determined by the Marketplace or City Team. Remote Year reserves the right to deny access to Friends / Family who are over using Remote Year services. To avoid abuse of services, non-active Citizens, op-out Remotes, or Remotes who have left a Program can not use services as Friends & Family of Active Remotes or Active Citizens.

I haven’t received a booking confirmation email, can you help? If I cannot attend, can I transfer my ticket to someone else?

Yes, you may transfer your ticket to another Remote, Citizen or Family/Friend. Please notify the City Manager as soon as possible to confirm the change. Please note, in the case of special dietary requirements, we might not be able to accommodate special requests on last minute changes. Any bookings that require advanced ticketing linked to an individual’s ID might not be approved.

I’m not currently an active Remote Year participant, can I still book?

As a non-active Remote or Citizen, you forego access to any private Remote Year events including Core Experiences, Local Experiences, Community Events, Local Amenity and Services through the Marketplace. Exemptions will be made on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the City Manager.
