Born in Athens in 1986 and still here! I’m fluent in English, friendly and communicative. This city has so much to offer and l am here to help you by giving you plenty of suggestions for great places to eat and drink or just explore the city. You could also join me on a street-art safari around the city, to find new murals.

I grew up in Athens and have also lived in California for 20 years. I have a background in Retail, Management and Sales, but prefer to have a coffee and chat about the history of Athens.
Anastasios D.
Born and raised in Athens, I have witnessed the changes in this dynamic and fast growing capital during the last decades.
In many cases I rediscovered the beauty of my own city, through the photos and narrations of international friends who visited Athens, and I felt very proud and happy to be an Athenian. Traveling, living and working abroad for a few years made me realize the added value of contact with the locals. Therefore, I am very willing become a guide and co-traveller in the exploration of this city for international visitors!!

I am an entrepreneur in the software design & development sector, with extroverted business activities.
I like to introduce you to the spirit, the culture, the tastes, the odors, the heart of our city, accompanying you to the historic and modern aspects of Athens and help you feel the vividness and nobility of Athens citizens.
We can communicate in English, French, German and Italian.
Thalia P.
I was born and raised in Athens, an ancient but modern city buzzing with life and changing faces all the time - a city I adore to explore day by day, more and more... Following my long years of professional experience in organising trips in Greece through renowned travel agencies, my guiding principle has always been treating visitors not as clients but as guests, with dignity, commitment and respect. Therefore, I am excited about the opportunity to offer a more friendly and cosy approach as a hostess and to show you Athens through my eyes so you can gain an insight into the locals' way of life!
