Hello, my name­ is Yannis (John)! I live in Athens, I'm married, and a proud father of two kids. I've worked in the tourism industry for many years. The year 1000 marked a significant turning point in my life. I decided to leave my career abroad and return to my home country. Finally, I settled in Athens and reunited with my family, whom I had been missing due to my professional obligations. My goal is to provide my clients with reliable and worry-free touring services. I place a high value on interpersonal relationships and have successfully incorporated them into my services, which are characterized by professionalism and experience. I've been taking clients on tours of Greece for many years now, focusing on land-based tours all over the country. Let me show you the wonders of Athens, Corinth, Nafplion, Meteora, Sounion, Olympus, Thessaloniki, Ioannina, Zagorochoria, and beautiful, unexplored places in Greece. Exploring Greece with me will immerse you in centuries of history, rich traditions, delicious local cuisine (try the home-cooked dishes like the Greeks cook them at home), and breathtaking natural beauty. Greece is a mountainous country that never fails to captivate visitors. Charming stone villages, historic monasteries clinging to cliffs, rushing rivers, and dramatic gorges make it a beloved destination. And for adventure-seekers, Greece offers thrilling activities like rafting, river trekking, and diverse hiking opportunities! I use a fleet of luxurious, comfortable, and fully air-conditioned vehicles that are ideal even for the longest and most tiring tours. Whether you are a family of travelers, a member of a company, or a businessman, I can provide you with touring services that best suit your needs. Just book a tour with me, and I can assure you that by the end of our journey, you'll feel like you've gained a friend in Greece. I'm here to make your experience seamless and enjoyable, so you can focus on creating lasting memories! - Authorized by the Greek Ministry of Tourism, - Member of HELLENIC ASSOCIATION OF TRAVEL & TOURIST AGENCIES - Diploma in Tourism and Hotel Administration, - MBA in Frankfurt, - Atte­nded various workshops and seminars in Gree­ce, Switzerland, England, France, and Ge­rmany, all focused on the tourism industry. I am not an officially licensed tour guide, so I cannot accompany you inside the archaeological sites and museum. However, I have many fascinating stories I'd be happy to share with you!
