"Yea sas"or if you prefer "hello everyone" in Greek! My name is Theodora and I was born and raised in Athens, so it is my hometown and I will proudly show you around! I always wanted to be a tour guide so, as they say:" If you love your job you will not work a day in your life"! I am a pro in this field collecting experience over the last 18 years. I am also a lot of fun, as I am not insisting on giving my guests only historical info, but also insight into everyday life and habits in Greece. Even a short Greek language lesson is in order! You learned your first Greek word already, just by reading my bio! Providing guiding services in and around Athens is my sole occupation and as I don't have kids of my own yet, I dedicate my free time to further enhancing my knowledge of Greek art and ancient culture. Attending exhibitions and lectures, theatrical performances as well as reading are a few of my hobbies! Did you know that for many decades now anyone can watch an ancient tragedy or comedy in an ancient theatre? Well, it's presented in modern Greek, but nonetheless, it's one of my favorite things to do in Athens! One more huge asset of the city is its riviera, one of the longest in the world! What most Athenians prefer on a summer afternoon (including me) is to find themselves next to the water and enjoy great views while drinking one of the three sorts of iced coffee. If that sounded relaxing and if meeting an insider will make your trip more interesting, then I cannot wait to meet you! You are all welcome! A degree in History from Dimokritos University of Thrace, Greece, in 2003 An official national licence as a professional tour guide acquired in 2006 I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

We will visit the canal of Corinth, a engineering miracle of the 19th century, that is our first short photo and rest stop. You will road signs with the term "Isthmus" on, not canal. That's because in Greek it means passage. Then we will visit the ancient theatre of Epidauros , which is considered the most well preserved 5th cent BC theatre in Greece. It is reused for the famous theatrical summer festival, ancient plays, in modern greek language!You ll see it all still there, there is no closer experience to ancient drama than watching a play seated where 2500 years ago ancients Greeks would sit. You will feel the supreme acoustics of this 12. 000 seat stone theatre. The small museum is also interesting, since you can understand the purpose of this theatre situated nowhere near a city or town. The healing sanctuary of Asclepios makes it all clear. The patients in the ancient era would have to stay for 2 weeks under the supervision of the priests-doctors, so they needed entertainment!
-The canal of Corinth (short photo and convenience stop) -The theatre of Epidaurus, our main visit for the day. It includes two parts, the actual theater and the small museum on site. *Don't forget that I can always customize this tour to make it fit your interests!
