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.

Athens, the capital of Greece, offers a unique city center to a foreigner. Antiquities, byzantine churches, ottoman mosques, modern buildings, a flea market, youth corners, the old city and so much more! Without doubt, anyone can see the whole history of Greece around the marvelous Acropolis of Athens. I remember the first time I visited Athens as a child. I was thrilled! Much later, as a student in History & Archaeology, I was wandering again in the city, to fit the pieces of this puzzle in order to understand deeply the flow of the tremendous history of this city, which is continuously inhabited for over 5, 000 years. With an archaelogist/historian by your side, you will be able to learn about ancient myths, old stories and small secrets that are waiting to be revealed!
