Graffiti of Athens

It’s been many years since I’ve spent time in Greece, so it’s hard to say how things have changed there in recent times.  We did notice many closed shops, and a lot of graffiti and street art.  Sam started documenting the graffiti, here are a few of his favorites:

We kept seeing the clover symbol, along with the number 13, all over Athens, often next to anarchy and communism symbols. We were never able to pin down its meaning.  [MYSTERY SOLVED! Not as exciting as we had hoped, the clover is the symbol of the Athenian soccer team, and GATE 13 is a popular fan group!!]IMG_0555

Marilyn Monroe? Maybe… although beautifully disfigured.
