Welcome! I'm Vasilis, a Licensed Tour Guide and Archaeologist. As a child, I spent my days playing among the ancient ruins, imagining what life was like for the Greeks who once inhabited these lands. This early fascination sparked a lifelong passion for ancient Greece, its culture, and its art. With over eight years of experience in archaeological excavations across Greece, I’ve unearthed treasures from every era, deepening my understanding of our rich heritage. My love for my country and my desire to share its history led me to become a licensed tour guide. While my tours are primarily centered around the picturesque town of Nafplion, I also offer expert-guided experiences in the legendary sites of Mycenae and Epidaurus. Additionally, I have crafted unique truffle tours that combine the allure of ancient history with the delight of culinary exploration. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with guests from all over the world, including a stint with ToursByLocals in Corfu. My tours are designed to be immersive and tailored to your interests, whether you are drawn to the ancient ruins, local traditions, or the natural beauty of the region. I always carry additional visual materials on my iPad to enhance your understanding of the history and significance of each site we visit. When you join me on a tour, you’re not just getting a guide—you’re gaining a new Greek friend. Together, we’ll explore the wonders of Nafplion, uncover the mysteries of Mycenae, marvel at the architectural splendor of Epidaurus, and perhaps even savor the earthy flavors of a truffle hunt. I am dedicated to providing a tour that is both educational and enriching, with a focus on delivering the highest quality experience. Nafplion, with its endless charms, holds a special place in my heart, and I find immense joy in seeing my guests leave with a deeper appreciation for its history and culture. Please feel free to reach out with any questions about my tours. It would be my pleasure to welcome you to this unique corner of Greece and share with you the authentic Greek experience. As a licensed guide, certified by the Greek Ministry of Tourism, I am fully authorized to offer private tours at ancient sites and museums throughout Greece. With a background in Archaeology and History of Art, as well as a Master’s degree in Geoarchaeology, I bring both academic rigor and a passion for storytelling to every tour. Whether you’re arriving by cruise ship or exploring the mainland, I am here to ensure your visit is as seamless and enjoyable as possible. I offer a wide range of experiences with no restrictions, ready to customize the perfect tour for you.

I invite you to experience Nafplion on a private walking tour where I share its history through stories and atmosphere rather than dates. Often described as the most beautiful and traditional town on the Greek mainland, Nafplion reveals its character best on foot. We start at the historic Land Gate, the original entrance to the town, where the statues of Greece’s first king and first governor introduce the birth of the modern Greek state. As we walk through narrow alleys, I talk about everyday life, past and present, and how history still shapes the town. At Constitution Square, Venetian elegance and Ottoman influence come together. From the outside, we see mosques and the Archaeological Museum while I explain the layers of Nafplion’s past. We continue to a church linked to the town’s patron saint, pass Harvard’s department, admire Bourtzi from the port, and finish with the story of Palamidi Fortress above the town. The walk ends with views, stories, and time to ask questions at an easy pace.
