Hello Travellers! My name is Silvia - Silviaki for my Greek friends - and I am a historian and licensed tour guide living in Athens. Both modern and ancient Greece have built on stories, and my own starts in Italy. Born and raised in a very little town near Milan, drawn by my passion for Ancient History and Archaeology, I enrolled nine years ago as a PhD student in Athens University, a choice I have never regretted. Communicating and sharing with people is something I see as fundamental to life as breathing. Tours let me combine my passions for the Ancient World and architecture with the joy of meeting, talking and laughing with people through genuine connections. In my free time, my little car and I go to explore archaeological sites, museums, Greece's incredible and varied nature, always trying to find my new favorite Greek dish! The country has so much to offer me and everyone that, no matter how much of it I see, I know that it is only the surface. My favorite tours are those based on history, archaeology and art, and I very much enjoy finding connections between the Ancient World and the modern. I try to contrast the more academic side of my tours with the fun, frivolous and unexpected. There is beauty to be discovered behind an ancient building, be it a modern artwork or an incredibly tasty baklava! The majority of my tours are Athens-based but I can help you escape from the city for one or more days, offering tours full of history, culture and nature throughout Greece based on your needs and interests. Looking forward to meeting you and introducing you to my second and now first home! Silvia B.

Step back in time and marvel at the grandeur of Mycenae, the legendary city of Agamemnon, where imposing Cyclopic Walls and opulent tombs whisper tales of a bygone era. Delve into the rich history and culture of Mycenae, captivated by its intricate architecture, artwork, and the enduring mystery that shrouds its past.

Discover its Venetian heritage, wander through cobblestone streets lined with traditional houses, and admire the imposing Palamidi fortress, a symbol of the city's resilience. As a doctor in History and passionate traveller, I love to share my knowledge of this country as much as possible, as I believe that a journey is first of all a personal grow. So, let me guide you through this journey in time and space, where history, culture, and beauty converge. Ready to go?
