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

The tour of the Athenian Riviera and Cape Sounio is very popular tour and of course is very familiar to me as I am in the field of private tours since 2002. In few hours you are going to learn with me many things about the history and Mythology of Athens and the temple of Poseidon covering the Periods from the Minoan civilization the Greek dark ages the Archaic period and the golden age of Pericles. Starting the tour from Athens with my Mercedes E class We are going to see the Amazing Athenian Riviera the lake of Vouliagmeni with the medicinal water and the temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio driving through the most beautiful and reach suburbs of Athens. Also you'll have the opportunity to enjoy your lunch at a traditional Greek restaurant.

Andreas was prompt and courteous for our pickup at the port off of the cruise ship. He even stopped at a local bakery to give us a sample of a local breakfast pastry. We would highly recommend him for any tour.

We wanted to see some sights outside of Athens and Andreas did an excellent job. His English skills are very good and provided extras along the way. He was very flexible in adjusting the day to meet our desires. Highly recommended!!

I would rate this tour with Andreas higher than 5 if I could. Everything was great - communication ahead of time, arrangements for pick up, wonderful explanations of geography and history of Greece as well as current culture. Comfortable vehicle and Andreas is a skilled and safe driver. The weather was perfect for our trip (maybe that was his doing ��), and his recommendation of a restaurant for dinner on the way back was great. I would definitely book another tour with Andreas.

We enjoyed a fabulous drive along the Athenian riviera to Sunio with Andreas! He provided gifts of water, post cards and a book about Greece. He is very informative, friendly and speaks English well. We stopped for a wonderful sea side lunch along the beautiful Aegean Sea. I highly recommend Andreas for any of your travel driving tour needs.

For this tour we shall take the coastal line and pass through marvellous suburbs like Palaio Faliro, Glyfada, Voula. We'll stop for a while to visit the unique Lake of Vouliagmeni with medicinal waters . The Vouliagmeni lake has the largest tunnel in the world. It is 800 meters long and its depth reaches 80 meters. The exploration is difficult and dangerous, as has corridors forming labyrinth 4, 3 km length. In the same territory we will visit the tourist resort area very known as Kavouri (crab) that is the most luxurious place of Athenian riviera. After a really interesting coastal drive with beautiful landscapes villages and towns like Varkiza , lagonisi , Anavisos , we will reach the southern end of Attica named Cape Sounio. Once there, you will see one of the most beautiful ancient temples from the 5th century B. C, the temple of Poseidon the god of the sea. • The tour ends at Piraeus cruise terminal or in Athens center or at Athens airport.
