"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 begin with the one of the most interesting museums of Athens, which is focused on the Parthenons marble decoration. In total 4000 exhibits help us understand this famous monument! Then on foot we continue our walk through a historical neighboorhood, the one of Plaka. It is the oldest residential area in town, so that means it is a maze! You will get a sence of orientation and walk among the natives(many of who are owners of neoclassical mansions located in Plaka, worth millions!). With my help you will take in Athens's most picturesque part. We will pass by the sites of ancient and roman Agora. You won't believe the views and photos you will able to take! . A short photo stop on both spots is included and of cource I will be there to give you the basic info! What's also fascinating is the street musicians we may bump on! You ll hear Zorba's tune played live!
-Acropolis museum -Plaka area -Roman and ancient Agora photo stops All within the historical centre of the city, easily covered on foot!
