Our second day in Athens had us up early to meander the streets of the Plaka around the Acropolis. I then saw graffiti that changed my mind. There’s some beautiful graffiti art around the city, but some of it controversial as its on private property or classical buildings. I’m torn but will let you decide for yourselves.
