Hello, and welcome to Athens. My name is Panos and I'll be your local guide in this beautiful city that I call home. As a local, living in central Athens and a licensed tourist guide, I'm always excited about introducing guests to the city's rich history. My aim is to introduce visitors, not only to the city's sites and monuments, but also to its unique culture, architecture and modern life. What I consider essential, is breathing life into monuments and adding historical and cultural context to the sites we visit. My working experience as a guide has taught me how to be flexible and how to adjust the tours to the individuals' and groups' special needs and interests. Guiding guests to the city's sites has also turned out to be a great opportunity to interact with people from all over the world, people with different backgrounds, ideas and experiences. My academic background is in History, Archaeology and Political Science. I have a Bachelor's Degree in History, a Master's Degree in International and European Relations, and a second Master's Degree in the Archaeology of the Eastern Mediterranean. I am still engaged in Academia, conducting research on Human Migration in the University of Athens. I have a passion for learning foreign languages: I'm fluent in English, German and French, and I'm currently learning Russian and Spanish. I have always believed that the beauty of life lies in our ability to broaden our horizons, with books, courses, art, travelling and new experiences. Let me share with you my enthusiasm about the city's millennia-old history and its amazing vibes. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Licensed Tourist Guide (Greek Ministry of Tourism) Bachelor's Degree in History (Ionian University) Master's Degree in International & European Relations (National & Kapodistrian University of Athens). Master's Degree in Archaeology of the Eastern Mediterranean, from Prehistory to Late Antiquity (University of the Aegean). Certificate of Proficiency in English (University of Cambridge, UK) Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française DALF C2 (Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale, FR) Kleines Deutsches Sprachdiplom (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, München, DE). I am only delivering walking tours, since I am not a driver guide, nor a professional driver.

    Panos was passionate, knowledgable and engaging! We were a small group of young and old and with differing background information. He made the Archaeological Museum collection come alive for everyone with historical context and background information. He pointed out details on and about the artifacts that deepened our appreciation during the tour, and in the future, when...

    Panos was such an excellent guide. Attentive to our plans and wants. He is a wealth of information and has the Greek knowledge of an encyclopedia. He was funny and easy to talk to. We were 6 of us on the tour and we were all impressed with his ability to make it a fun learning experience of Greek Culture and History. Thx Panos. Paul, Lisa, Holly, Lorraine, Kiara and...

    If you’re looking for a tour guide in Athens who checks every single box, stop looking and hire Panos. Our group of 60-somethings has high standards: we want deep historical knowledge, top-notch communication, flexibility, and a genuinely fun personality. Panos delivered all of that and then some, bringing an unmatched level of energy and warmth from start to...
