Hello from Athens, Greece! My name is Andreas and I have been a professional tour driver in Athens for 22 years. I was born in Chios, the island where Homer - the blind poet of antiquity - lived, and wrote the poems of Iliad and Odyssey. At the age of eleven my family and I moved to Athens and ever since that time I have been living here. I am married to Sophia and I have two daughters, Niki who is 24 years old and Sandy who is 17 years old. I graduated as a Captain of the Merchant Marine Academy. I have also traveled with cargo ships to many countries all over the world, including the United States, Canada, Japan, and in almost all the regions of Latin America and Russia. In my free time, I love watching movies, going for excursions and I'm also a big fan of scuba diving. I have been living in Athens for over 40 years and I know every corner and backstreet of this city. It is a privilege for me to have been born and grown up in a country like Greece, which is the center of the ancient world. Don't forget that Athens is the birthplace of democracy, philosophy and great personalities, such as Socrates, Platon, Aristotle, Solon, Kleisthenis, to list some. Are you interested in exploring this ancient magic world with safety, comfort privatization, flexibility and value of money? So, here I am! Let me take care of your travel arrangements, while you experience the beauties of Athens with the comfort of the latest model of a new SUV KODIAQ FOLKWAGEN. Experience the traditional Greek hospitality in magic corners in Athens or other sites nearby, like Delphi oracle, Ancient Corinth, Mycenae, Epidauros, Meteora Monasteries, and Ancient Olympia. Trust my services and I'll support you with all my heart and do my best to make your trip to Athens a unique travel experience! Professional licensed tour driver and Tour Operator, Certified by the Greek National Tourism organisation. I am not a licensed tour guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments and museums.

Overview of your Athens tour
This tour is a very nice opportunity for travelers who have a layover and they have at least 5-6 hours time to visit Athens. The tour of Athens is the most popular tour in Greece and of course, is very familiar to me as I am in the field of private tours since 2002. I'll give you many pieces of information about Greek history and mythology regarding the archaeological sites you're going to visit along the way, covering the period of the Mycenaean civilization the Greek dark ages the Archaic period, and the golden age of Pericles. I have to mention that I am not a licensed tour guide so I will not be able to guide you inside a historical monument or a museum.
