Hello everybody! My name is Nikos. I was born and raised in the beautiful city of Thessaloniki and this is where I make a living as a professional licensed tourist guide. I do have a background in history and archaeology but I strongly believe that a guided tour should not be only about facts and dates. It should also be about the place itself: the people, the anecdotes, the stories that do not fit into history books. So, hopefully, together we are going to not only explore the history and the sights of this magnificent place but also feel the beating heart of the city. I have been providing tours professionally in Thessaloniki and all over Greece for a few years now, but every time feels like a fresh start. There is nothing like being outside, in the open air, with good company and showing the place you love, sharing the details and secrets that make it special. And if I can show you why this place is special to me, then it will become special to you too! I have a few tours planned but, please, do not hesitate to ask me about anything you might want anywhere in northern Greece or maybe all over the country. Share your idea and together we are going to create a brand new experience! I hope I will have the chance to meet you and show you around but, if not, enjoy Thessaloniki, enjoy Macedonia, enjoy this amazing place! I am a licensed Tourist Guide. BA in History & Archaeology Masters in Black Sea Cultural Studies I only guide in English.

Alexander the 3rd has been, without a doubt, one of the most fascinating personalities that ever existed. He was the king of Macedonia who managed to create one of the largest empires the world had seen by that time. In this tour we are going to explore two places of great significance for Alexander, both of which were, at some point, capitals of the Macedonian kingdom: Aigai (or Vergina nowadays) - the place where Alexander's father was buried, one of the most amazing and interesting archaeological sites in the whole country, and Pella - Alexander's birthplace and center of the world during his reign. We are going to visit ancient tombs, see beautiful mosaics laying on the floors of marvellous mansions, admire precious golden artifacts and learn all about ancient Macedonia and its most well known king - Alexander the Great. Of course this tour can be customised to your special interests and needs!
We begin the tour with a 1-hour drive to the village of Vergina. There we have a guided tour of the Royal tombs of the Macedonian Kings. Then, we drive for about an hour to the city of Pella where we visit the museum and the archaeological site. After a short drive of about 45 mins, we arrive back to Thessaloniki. Of course lunch is an option whenever we feel hungry!
