Biography Hello my name is Achilles . As you can see I was named after an ancient greek semi -god which carries a lot of history and fame. I was born in Athens . I am 62 years old. Both my parents are from Lesvos where I spent my summers growing up and the last 20 years I live here permanently with my Greek Canadian wife and three children . My love for tourism started from the 70's when my father took me to his work place where he worked as a maitre de' hotel at a neo classical hotel in Athens. The reason I moved to the island from the mainland was for the serenity and my love for the nature of Lesvos. It's  no wonder that Aristotle himself came to the island to study the enviroment. The last few years I have been escorting tourists to the hidden treasures of my island. I take them to places where they wont find on a map and introduce them to local cuisine they wont find at restaurants. My hobbies include reading history books , nature walks off the beaten path, and cooking (Greek cuisine ) based on homegrown vegetables and my own olive oil. As my grandmother used to say if you have olive oil in your house you have everything!!! My traditional village   is located on the western part of the island, but I deliver tours all over the island. We will explore the natural beauty and local gastronomy. On my tours I also share the local history, legends and old tales as we go along our journey. I look forward to meeting you in person on one of my tours , which can be customized to your preferences.     Driving licence. First aid seminar. 5 years tourism experience as guide. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of a museum.
