My name is Alexios and I'm a licensed Tour Guide. When I was a child, I used to spend all my vacation in ancient Olympia, my mother's homeplace. Τhe usual and immediate visual and physical contact with these antiquities had a huge impact on me. From the very first moment, inquiries such as "what's this", "when", why", gave birth to my continuous thirst of knowledge, regarding Greek history and archaeology. Therefore, I studied History, Archaeology and History of Art in the University of Athens. I worked as an archaeologist for a couple of years and, in 2014, I obtained the Tourist Guide Licence, doing what I always did with friends and visitors: transmitting knowledge and offering first-hand experience. Specifically, I have worked systematically as a licensed Tour Guide in ancient Olympia, Athens and, for 4 years, in the beautiful islands of Kos and Nissyros, in the Dodecanese region. What do I offer to you? Some really special guided tours of Athens and wider region of Attiki. Together, not only you will be able to fully understand the importance of ancient Athens and the impact to modern western society, but also I will unfold medieval, ottoman, jewish and modern parts of history, 'cause Athens is, above all, a mosaic of civilizations. My tours are customized according to my guests' needs and interests. I'm always next to you to provide any kind of help you need. With an expert by your side, you will acquire a new Greek friend! • Bachelor degree in Archaeology and History of art, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. • Official Tourist Guide License. • Certificate of Proficiency in English (University of Michigan). • Certificate of Proficiency in Spanish (National Foreign Language Exam System). None.

When you think about Greece and Athens, one thing comes to your mind: the Acropolis! The temple of Athena Parthenos, or the Parthenon, is the highlight of the city and a great symbol of Greece. The sacred hill of the Athenians combines all the history of Greek peninsula. Antiquity, Byzantine empire, Franks, Ottomans and modern Greece. On its slope, two ancient theaters reveal the importance of this greek-born art to that society and ours. This is where two brave students, during the nazi occupation, climbed the hill late at night and stole the Swastika flag! Acropolis is more than its ancient classic background, and with a licensed tourist guide, historian and archaeologist with you, it would be an asset to have! The story continues in the Acropolis museum in order to have a full insight of this must-see landmark.
• Pick up from your hotel or other agreed place. • I suggest to start our tour early in the morning in order to avoid the heat, and go straight to the Acropolis of Athens. • After viewing the panorama of the sacred hill, we will visit the southern slope and its theaters. • Then, walk through the beautiful Areopagitou Str, and reach the Acropolis museum, a place full of "gems".
