"Street art and graffiti seem to be everywhere in the Greek capital. Taking the form of firewall murals; colorful creations on smaller walls, gates, and dumpsters; and even tiny tags by notorious sprayers, much of the newer work makes direct reference to the Greek economic crisis.Though the works aretechnically illegal, they'rerarely removed.Wander the neighborhoods of Exarchia and Metaxourgeioto see high concentrations ofoften inspiring and surprisingly beautiful images."
