I was born and raised in a small village in Greece, on Apollo's mountain Parnassus. I studied tourism management and have been working in tourism for more than 30 years. My passion is history and mythology, I love nature, traveling, reading and socializing with people. I have been dealing with tours for the last 6 years and having worked in the entire spectrum of Tourism, I discovered that it is what suits me best. I feel free to design and create experiences I love, in places I find unique. It is important for me to be able to share my passion with people from all over the world. It makes me happy to feel that I gave them an experience they will always remember. This fills me up and makes me feel successful. This is my goal always: not to go together, just to a popular destination, to go together on an experience you will remember forever, to see landscapes and do thinks that will fill you with emotions. Let's go! Degree in tourism management (University of Crete) Degree of teaching Tourism I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the archaeological sites or museums. But you are going to have any detailed information you need, before your entrance in an archaeological site.

Explore the amazing rocks of Meteora and the battlefield of King Leonidas & Spartans
Overview of your Athens tour
Meteora is one of the most impressive and popular monuments in Greece. It is not only the Monasteries that are strikingly hanging on the rocks that you will see and admire. It is more the magic of nature and what it can create. It is the view of that landscape that gives you the feeling, the magic, the awe and the admiration. It is one of those landscapes that fills your soul and makes you feel beautiful, love beyond ordinary limits! Thermopylae is also certainly the most popular battle site in ancient Greece. The message that this battle has given to humanity has been unique, and you will surely feel it when you visit this place.

The monasteries of Grand Meteora, Varlaam and St Stefan (if there is time). * There we will also visit the cave of Theopetra, a place where archaeologists have discovered habitats from 130. 000 - 25. 000 BC, if it's open for visitors. * After our lunch at the picturesque village Kastraki, below Meteora, we will drive to Thermopylae battlefield. The place that king Leonidas and the 300 Spartans fight against the Persians at 480 BC. There we will see the monument, the hot springs, the battlefield, the Hill of Kolonos and I will describe all the details about the battle.
