Greetings, fellow adventurers! I'm Natassa—an archaeologist by training and your officially licensed tour guide to Greece since September 2024, finally able to unleash all my historical enthusiasm! With an academic background in Museology and Pedagogy, let’s just say I’ve spent more time navigating ancient ruins and dusty archives than doing just about anything else. But honestly, with millennia of fascinating stories to uncover, can you blame me? Hailing from Thessaloniki, Northern Greece is basically my backyard. So whether you're eager to follow in the footsteps of Alexander the Great across Central Macedonia (yes, I’ve actually participated in excavations—my trowel is my trusty sidekick!), wander through charming Kavala, or simply explore the boundless beauty of Greece, consider me your expertly informed, slightly eccentric, and endlessly enthusiastic companion. Having honed my skills as a museum educator, I promise our tours will be anything but boring lectures. Think less sleepy history class, more time-traveling adventure with a very well-read friend. We’ll dive into everything from ancient symposia (strictly no boring speeches—and yes, definitely better wine than they had!) to the latest archaeological revelations. You’ll learn, you’ll laugh, and you’ll definitely leave with some fantastic new trivia to impress your friends. Fluent in English and, of course, Greek, I guarantee our conversations will be as clear as the Aegean Sea on a sunny day. I'm absolutely thrilled to show you Greece through my eyes—full of epic tales, genuine laughter, and moments you won’t soon forget!

Overview of your Kavala tour

Step back in time on this unforgettable half-day excursion, where history, culture, and spirituality intertwine. Beginning and ending conveniently at the port, this 4-hour tour offers you the chance to explore two of the most significant sites in Northern Greece: the ancient city of Philippi and the Baptistry of Lydia. From the moment we leave the port, the landscape of Eastern Macedonia unfolds before your eyes, green valleys, rolling hills, and the distant backdrop of Mount Pangaion, once famed for its gold and silver mines. As we share stories of kings, battles, apostles, and empires, you will feel yourself being drawn into a world that shaped the history of both Europe and Christianity.
