A warm hello to all guests that visit my profile. A few things about myself; ith a lifelong commitment to the travel industry, I bring a wealth of experience, having served as a tour director/escort for a leading Athens-based travel agent/tour operator. In 2012, I took my passion for Hellas and history to the next level, obtaining a professional driving license and acquiring an exquisite 8-seater minibus, meticulously equipped to ensure your comfort and enjoyment throughout our adventures. I specialize in intimate groups ranging from 2 to 8 persons, allowing you to truly experience Greece beyond the typical tourist lens. As a firm believer that travel is a multisensory experience, I craft journeys that go beyond the ordinary. My tours are designed to stimulate your vision, engage your sense of smell and taste, and evoke a profound connection with the rich history and culture of Hellas. It's not just about seeing landmarks; it's about feeling the pulse of the land and forging connections with its people. Whether you're drawn to the ancient wonders of Athens, the scenic landscapes of the mainland, or the hidden gems off the beaten path, I am here to transform your visit into an unforgettable adventure. Let me be your guide, weaving stories of history, culture, and local life into a tapestry of memories that will linger long after your journey concludes. Feel free to explore my credentials and get in touch for any additional information you may require. I look forward to welcoming you aboard for an enriching and personalized Greek Odyssey. Until then, happy travels!

Overview of your Athens tour

If you opt for a relaxed break without being obliged to get up early and at the same time have the chance to visit a beautiful site/location, this is the choice. We will drive by the so-called Athenian riviera, the coastline - part of the Aegean sea - that washes the southern part of Athens. We are going to spend some relaxing lazy hours in a sandy beach resort enjoying the sea, sun, and cocktails ( only for you, of course) By the time sun dives into the sea, we will drive to the Archaeological site of Cape Sounio, where you will admire a breathless sunset concluding a memorable day.

Your Athens tour itinerary

You don't have to wake up early:) This tour starts at 11:00 or 12:00 is up to you. We will drive by the southern part of Athens, on its coastline that exceeds 70 Km. In about 50 minutes (depending on the traffic conditions) we will stop at a beach resort - carefully selected for my quests. Providing all the appropriate amenities to enjoy the beautiful Aegean sea and the sun and spoil your selves. By the time of sunset, we will proceed further to the South, to the Archeological Site of Cape Sounio, where the ancient Doric Temple of Poseidon is perched on its steep cliffs. According to an old Athenian legend, the mythical King Aegeas committed suicide from these cliffs, because he believed that his beloved son and prince of Athens, Theseus was killed by the Minotaur. Time to visit the Archaeological site, and admire an amazing sunset; orange and purple colors diving into the crystal blue water of the sea. Drive back to your hotel at a relaxed pace to absorb and feel the beauty of the landscape.
