Greetings from beautiful Athens! My name is Eleni and I am an archaeologist. I work as a licensed tour guide in Athens for the last 5 years and these were the best years of my professional life. I enjoy meeting new people and showing them what I have come to love and respect. Athens is a city that offers some of the greatest monuments in the world but Athens is also its people, it is a city full of contradictions lying between the past and the present, a place that you can meet the Greek culture and you can have fun! I would gladly introduce you to Greece and help you to adjust your tour to the interests of your group. Licensed tour guide - Aristotle University of Thessaloniki degree in History and Archaeology
