Hi there, and welcome to Athens! I am Lida, and I'm excited to be your gateway to the enchanting world of Greece! Beyond my interests in language, literature, and cultural exploration, I have the immense pleasure of being a licensed tour guide, sharing my passion for this remarkable country with travelers like you. My journey as a guide began as a result of the deep desire to introduce people to the captivating history, mythology, and diverse landscapes that Greece has to offer. While Athens holds a special place in my heart, I also specialize in tours to other magnificent destinations like Epidaurus, Mycenae, Corinth, Delphi and any unexplored corner that you may dream. Every region holds their unique allure, each with a rich tapestry of stories waiting to be unveiled. Greece, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, beckons travelers from around the globe. Whether it's the breathtaking Acropolis, the mystical aura of Delphi's Oracle, or the sun-drenched Greek islands, there's something here for every explorer. I aim to help you immerse yourself in the essence of Greece, whether it's the fascinating archaeological wonders, the vibrant culture, or the warm hospitality of its people. With my expertise, I aspire to provide unforgettable experiences, tailored to your interests and preferences. Together, we can craft a personalized tour that captures the essence of Greece, from the iconic landmarks to the hidden treasures. Let's embark on this journey together and create memories that will last a lifetime. - Licensed Guide from the Greek Ministry of Tourism - Proficient in English, Spanish and Greek (what a surprise!) - World-class foodie (and happy to share my secrets with you!) I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.
