Greetings from beautiful Athens! My name is Eleni and I am an archaeologist. I work as a licensed tour guide in Athens for the last 5 years and these were the best years of my professional life. I enjoy meeting new people and showing them what I have come to love and respect. Athens is a city that offers some of the greatest monuments in the world but Athens is also its people, it is a city full of contradictions lying between the past and the present, a place that you can meet the Greek culture and you can have fun! I would gladly introduce you to Greece and help you to adjust your tour to the interests of your group. Licensed tour guide - Aristotle University of Thessaloniki degree in History and Archaeology

This tours starts with a visit to the sacred hill of Acropolis. Passing through its monuments you will end up in front of the Parthenon and enjoy a breathtaking view of the city. Next we will drive to the temple of Zeus, the Stadium of the first modern Olympic Games, 1896, and drive up to the highest hill of Athens, Lycabettus, for a panoramic view of the city at the "balcony of Athens". Following our way back to the city center passing through Kolonaki area we will reach the Parliament to see the changing of the guard in front of the tomb of the unknown soldier. Next we will leave Athens driving along the coast of the south suburbs of Athens and by some of the most beautiful sand beaches of Attica peninsula. On the way we will stop at Vouliagmeni Lake, a natural thermal lake known for its therapeutic qualities, and of course you will have your lunch break by the sae. Then we will continiue our drive until cape Sounio to visit the temple of Poseidon and witness the breathtaking view of the Agean Sea.
Eleni is a remarkable tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable in Greek history and is a great story teller. She has a fun personality and my daughter and I spent a memorable day with her visiting the Acropolis, Athens city tour, Cape Sounio and the temple of Poseidon. I’d highly recommend her as your tour guide. She’s the BEST!
Eleni is fabulous, she is a very knowledgeable and experienced guide. She tailors her sharing to the unique interest of your group and always makes sure to find quiet, shady rest spots for the knowledge transfer so that when you are out in the hot sun you can focus on enjoying the scenery and taking photos. She took us to a wonderful, local taverna for a delicious inexpensive lunch. She is also very adaptable and adjusts the tour to your groups specific needs. I will definitely book with Eleni again on future trips to Athens and recommend her to friends traveling here.
We could not have chosen a better guide to take us to the Acropolis, other sites in Athens, and then to Corinth. Not only is Eleni highly expert in ancient Greek history, her background in archeology brings an added depth to the information she imparts. In addition to her expertise, Eleni is friendly, engaging, and fun to be with. We will certainly use her again next time we're in Athens!
Once again, Eleni made our transition day in Athens so wonderful. Picking us up on time at the cruise terminal, Eleni created a tour completely different from a prior trip with her. The first part part of our tour was traversing the amazing city sites of Athens and culminated with a gorgeous ride to Cape Sounio and Poseidon's Monument. A delicious lunch on the shore of the Aegean will also be long remembered. Many thanks to Eleni and her driver, Michaelis for this incredible day!
