24hrs in Athens is my free walking guide to the city I keep returning to, again and again.
I first came to Athens when I was 15, and over the years I’ve passed through this city on my way to and from retreats, family visits, performances and pilgrimages across Greece. Every time, Athens gives me something new.
This is not a checklist of monuments. It’s the walk I would take you on myself if you knocked on my door and asked me to show you ‘my Athens’.
We begin on the Areopagus, wander through Plaka and Anafiotika, visit poets, ruins, museums, bookshops, Turkish baths, outdoor cinemas and places where the ancient world still hums beneath the modern one. I’ll show you where to eat, where to stay, when to climb the Acropolis, where to hear music late at night, and where to sit still long enough for the city to speak.
Athens is not always polished. That’s part of her power. She is marble and graffiti, gods and protests, coffee and ruins, chaos and beauty.
Bring good shoes, a notebook, and an open mind.
Get unlimited access to this 21-day writing course designed to get even the most stubborn of pens to start moving again. With all-orginal prompts delivered in audio, this writing challenge also includes a number of anecdotes, stories and realisations that have helped Luka along his personal writing journey.
