I am an official guide, born and raised in Athens. I grew up surrounded by the layers of history that define this city. Today, I am an officially licensed Tourist Guide certified by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Tourism and a graduate in History. Guiding all over Greece for the past 25 years has been an unforgettable journey for me and it still is! My passion for culture, history, archaeology and religion in all its forms hailed me to travel all around the world and visit places far overseas. It led me to this wonderful profession which gives me the pleasure to show my country, to explore it again and again and to keep rediscovering it! If you wish to explore Athens by strolling around it's lovely neighbourhoods , witnessing the excitement of a fast-moving metropolis, or being immersed in history paths I will organise it for you and try to give you the best travel experience and make it as personal and unique as possible. The tour can be customised to your preferences. I look forward to meeting you and sharing with you the beauty of my country. I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I do!!

Overview of your Athens tour

These trees cannot adjust to lesser sky, these stones cannot adjust beneath the tread of strangers, these faces cannot adjust unless they feel the sun, these hearts cannot adjust unless they live in justice. ( G. Ritsos) Aegina. This small island in the Saronic Gulf, barely an hour’s ferry ride from Athens, is a place where time seems to slow down, where the modern world hums gently in the background, but the whispers of ancient stories are never far away. This tour is about discovering one of the prettiest Greek islands in the Saronic gulf, and take a taste of the easy going life in a small town! The ruins of the temple of Aphaia perched high on a hill, stand like a silent sentinel. Its columns still reaching for the sky after centuries of storms and sun. Aegina’s relaxed vibe, coupled with its rich historical heritage, makes it an ideal destination for both history enthusiasts and those seeking peace by the sea.

My wife and I did the Aegina tour with Christina during a recent trip to Athens and thoroughly enjoyed it. Aegina is a small island with beautiful seaside shopping and dining. The highlight of the tour, though, was the ancient temple of Aphaia which is high on a hilltop. It's quite well preserved and well worth the short drive. Be sure to ask to see the new Greek Orthodox church on the way back from the temple. It's gorgeous. We loved this tour and highly recommend it. Enjoy!

We had an amazing tour of Aegina with Christina. We visited the Temple of Athina and the church of St. Nectarios amongst other things . Christina was very knowledgeable and helped us with the Ferry tickets and cab on the island . She has a great knowledge about the history of Greece and very passionate about it . I will strongly recommend her .

please see Myceane tour for part 2 of review as this is part 3.. Christina took as to this beautiful island as part of our tour of this day and what a great day it was. we went on a high speed watercraft to get there and back and enjoyed it. We were able to see and hear about more great history as well as food and enjoy the great weather of Greece in September. I also need to tell you that the food in Greece is very inexpensive compared to the USA, as well as very good tasting. To be cont.

Christina is terrific. We took her tour to Aegina. A most interesting day. Christina's knowledge of history and Greece was pitched at a level we were very comfortable with and one that made the day really interesting. We felt privileged to have been able to see some of the special places she took us to. The streets in the local village and lunch on the harbour front with local Greek cuisine was also memorable. A fabulous day.

The tours we took with Christina were superb! We toured Athens and Aegina Island. Our ages ranged from 20 to 54 and Christina was able to easily span our interests and conversations. Christina gave us much background on history of Greece. We laughed, stretched our culinary tastes, freshest pistachios ever, kept us going, yet was relaxed enough pace that we were able to take the time to really enjoy the sites! Would highly recommend Christina K!

I'll pick you up from your hotel and we'll take a cab to Piraeus, the port of Athens. We will go by boat. It takes 40' minutes for the island with the speed boat. On the island we will walk and use a cab or a mini van. On the way back we can either take the speed boat again or the regular boat which takes about an hour to reach Piraeus. From there we will take once more a cab to drive us back to the city.
