Travelers often say that exploring Santorini with me feels less like a tour and more like exploring with a local friend. My guests describe me as warm, attentive, and deeply passionate about the island, with a gift for storytelling that brings myths, history, and hidden details to life. Shaped by life across the Greek islands; I carry a deeply islander spirit into everything I do. Since settling in Santorini, I have come to know the island not only as a destination, but as a place of rhythm, memory, beauty, and everyday life. That perspective allows me to share Santorini with both fresh appreciation and genuine local understanding. For me, guiding is not only about showing beautiful places. It is about helping you feel the island; its atmosphere, its stories, its contrasts, and the small details that many visitors pass by. I want every tour to feel personal, relaxed, and meaningful. Let’s discover Santorini in a way that feels personal, meaningful, and truly yours. HOW I GUIDE This is the part of the experience that matters most to me; not just where we go, but how the day feels. - Thoughtful timing to enjoy Santorini at its best and help you avoid the busiest moments where possible - A warm, personal experience from the first inquiry to drop-off - Private, tailored guiding shaped around your pace, interests, and travel style - A relaxed flow that feels smooth and well cared for, never rushed or mechanical - Photo help along the way, with the right places, light, and angles - Real local insight that goes beyond the postcard view and helps you connect with the island more deeply WHY TRAVEL WITH ME - A true islander perspective; my connection to Greek island life goes far beyond one place, which makes the Santorini experience feel grounded, rich, and real - Deep local knowledge: I share Santorini through many layers; history, myths, legends, architecture, landscapes, local culture, artisan crafts, cuisine, hidden corners, and the best photo spots and angles. - Story-led guiding: I believe every place has layers; what you see, what you hear, and what used to be. I love bringing the stories behind the stones to life. - Warm, personal hosting: I aim for every tour to feel like exploring with someone who listens, adjusts, and genuinely wants you to enjoy the island, not just rush through it. - Personal connection; my tours feel like exploring with someone who truly cares about your experience - Adaptability: Whether you want a full-day experience, a short photo-focused outing, a family-friendly pace, a solo walk, or a sunrise or sunset tour, I tailor the route to your interests, schedule, and energy, just send me a message and we build it together - Tailored experiences; each day is shaped around your pace, curiosity, and interests - Hospitality with attention to detail: my tours are well planned, comfortable, responsive, and thoughtful from beginning to end. EDUCATION AND BACKGROUND My background combines culture, communication, and hospitality, which shapes the way I design and lead each experience. - Bachelor’s degree in Cultural Technology & Communication - MSc in Service Management, Hospitality & Tourism - More than 12 years of experience - Greek. Fluent in English. Able to communicate enough in Japanese.

Excellent day in Santorini. There were four of us and we had a great day with Aphrodite. Very knowledgeable with the history of the island along with an amazing sense of humor which made the day even that much more enjoyable. A must visit to Santos winery with great wine, snacks and view. It was a tour but so much more and a lot of fun. Our best tour of the cruise. ...
Yassas, My wife and I had very little time to spend in Santorini so I felt by hiring a local tour guide we would best learn the history, culture and customs of this beautiful island. Also, because I love to watch Rick Steves on PBS back home I was able to find the link of Tours by Locals on his website. Our guide, Aphrodite, drove us from village to village, she was so...

Afroditi was the absolute best guide for our family which includes 2 teenage girls who have to have the perfect instagram pics.

She told us so many interesting facts and stories about Greece’s history and also many specific to Santorini and then showed us various spots that tied in to its...
