I am an official guide, born and raised in Athens. I grew up surrounded by the layers of history that define this city. Today, I am an officially licensed Tourist Guide certified by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Tourism and a graduate in History. Guiding all over Greece for the past 25 years has been an unforgettable journey for me and it still is! My passion for culture, history, archaeology and religion in all its forms hailed me to travel all around the world and visit places far overseas. It led me to this wonderful profession which gives me the pleasure to show my country, to explore it again and again and to keep rediscovering it! If you wish to explore Athens by strolling around it's lovely neighbourhoods , witnessing the excitement of a fast-moving metropolis, or being immersed in history paths I will organise it for you and try to give you the best travel experience and make it as personal and unique as possible. The tour can be customised to your preferences. I look forward to meeting you and sharing with you the beauty of my country. I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I do!!

Overview of your Athens tour

Paul’s letters to the Corinthians are foundational texts for Christian theology. We will visit one of the great cities of antiquity , Corinth. Homer describes that the city of Mycenae was rich in gold and well fortified. The gold that was discovered by Schliemann in the graves that we will see and it weighted 14 kilos ! The Cyclopian walls are still standing high after 3. 500 years as a proof to the greatness of the ancient civilisation that flourished in this soil. Standing before the famous Lion Gate, its massive stone lintel adorned with two proud lionesses, you'll feel the weight of history pressing down on you. We will keep for the end Nafplio. First capital of Greece and my favourite town.
