Hi, there! I am 27 years old and I have lived in Athens since I was born. I speak English, French and Spanish, and I am a Swedish language beginner. I love long walks, cultural events and exploring downtown Athens. I am fascinated by the city's hills and its urban landscape. I also love old Athenian architecture and local history. I became an Athens Local to share with you as many of my favourite spots in the Greek capital as possible!
Tip: Getting to the top of either Lycabettus or Philopappou Hill is a must during your visit; the view is really worth it, and you get to see the small St George's church or Philopappos Monument.

Born and raised in Athens, I've been living here all my life. I have studied Pharmacy and work in the public sector. I speak fluent English but also French, Spanish, Italian and a little German. I love art, music, theater, cats, books and cooking. I travel a lot and enjoy meeting new people and learning about new cultures.
I love my city and would like to show its hidden beauties to as many visitors as I can!

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!!
