It is always interesting and Comuna 13 is literally FULL of street art. Comuna 13, or San Javier, was once the most dangerous neighborhood in the entire world! ! We took a tour of this fantastic neighborhood and enjoyed seeing the art in Comuna 13 up close and personal!

Monastiraki Square is just a 2-minute walk from the AthensStyle Hostel where we stay during our first visit to Athens.

We have a limited amount of time to see the area and we aren’t going to spend 2 days of it to get a single photograph. Why take time from your busy life, the work you specialize in, the time you spend to keep your household running, to research things you can find here?
