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 since 2014. I do hold a Bachelor's degree in History and Archaeology from the University of Ioannina and a Master's degree in Black Sea Cultural Studies from Thessaloniki's International University, 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 in 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 over a decade 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.

Overview of your Thessaloniki tour

Everyone knows Chalkidiki, the peninsula in northern Greece, for its amazingly beautiful beaches and resorts. However, there is also a different side to it. The mountainous, ancient, unexplored part of it! On this tour we are going to visit the Cave of Petralona, one of the most beautiful caves where the skull of one of the earliest humans was found. Then, we are going to visit the archaeological site of ancient Olinthos, a once upon a time thriving city that was burnt down to the ground by King of Macedonia Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. After this we are heading for Arnaia, one of the hidden gems of northern Greece, a beautiful little town with traditional architecture nested on a mountain and surrounded by beautiful nature. There we are going to explore the town and have a cup of coffee. On the way back to Thessaloniki there is an optional stop for lunch, for some of the most famous souvlaki of Greece at Agios Prodromos! Of course the tour is highly customisable.
