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!!
