A warm hello to all guests that visit my profile. A few things about myself; ith a lifelong commitment to the travel industry, I bring a wealth of experience, having served as a tour director/escort for a leading Athens-based travel agent/tour operator. In 2012, I took my passion for Hellas and history to the next level, obtaining a professional driving license and acquiring an exquisite 8-seater minibus, meticulously equipped to ensure your comfort and enjoyment throughout our adventures. I specialize in intimate groups ranging from 2 to 8 persons, allowing you to truly experience Greece beyond the typical tourist lens. As a firm believer that travel is a multisensory experience, I craft journeys that go beyond the ordinary. My tours are designed to stimulate your vision, engage your sense of smell and taste, and evoke a profound connection with the rich history and culture of Hellas. It's not just about seeing landmarks; it's about feeling the pulse of the land and forging connections with its people. Whether you're drawn to the ancient wonders of Athens, the scenic landscapes of the mainland, or the hidden gems off the beaten path, I am here to transform your visit into an unforgettable adventure. Let me be your guide, weaving stories of history, culture, and local life into a tapestry of memories that will linger long after your journey concludes. Feel free to explore my credentials and get in touch for any additional information you may require. I look forward to welcoming you aboard for an enriching and personalized Greek Odyssey. Until then, happy travels!

A relaxed day at a well known wine region plus Nauplion for lunch and shopping
Overview of your Athens tour
"If Greece decomposes, the end will be left with an olive tree, a vine, and a ship. Meaning: Having one more of each, can be reborn. " ODYSSEAS ELYTIS, poet. Nobel Prize Literature (1979). This exceptional Greek poet describes best the character of Greece and the characteristics of this tour! NEMEA is a region for its wine production and also very-well known from mythology, it is the place of the 1st "Labor" of mighty Hercules, and its archaeological site of Ancient Nemea. We can see the restored Sanctuary of God Zeus, the baths, the Museum, and the stadium where the "Nemean" Games took place. A must-see is the perfectly preserved vaulted entrance of the athletes to the stadium. Our next destination NAUPLION, the first capital of Greece, is (in my opinion) the best place to conclude this tour. A picturesque seaside town rested at the foot of Palamidi fortress. The 19th century town is calling you to stroll around the small streets and explore the small cozy shops and tavernas.
