I love travelling off the beaten path, so this is exactly the experience I wish to share with all the fellow travellers who visit Athens.

Athenian not by origin, but by choice and at heart. Born and raised in Moscow, Russia. Now based in Athens and deeply in love with my city.

“There is more than meets the eye". This is what I try to remember about Athens, but also, about every single place I visit. I became a This is Athens Local in 2012 and since then I have had a great time showing my favourite places in Athens to many people. I am an archaeologist working in the culture industry. I like architecture, the sun and the sea, walking, breathing and listening to music.

Since 2011, I have had the pleasure to meet visitors from all over the world and explore together my birthplace. Athens has beautiful surroundings and monuments that offer an abundance of recreational opportunities, plentiful cultural opportunities, as well as many museums and galleries with Classical, Byzantine and modern art to explore. Athens also offers you strong musical and architectural heritage and traditions across our friendly neighbourhoods, along with a broad assortment of restaurants and endless shopping opportunities. See you in Athens!
