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 was born in Athens and almost every weekend I am walking around the center of this city.
I think that is a good idea to share this walk with tourists showing them the places and the hidden beauties of Athens.
I speak French, English and Italian.
I am interested in meeting new people and learning about different cultures from all over the world.
I love to travel, art, music, theater, cooking and spending time with my friends drinking wine or coffees...

Hello there, fellow adventurers! I'm Antonis, a curious soul with a passion for uncovering the hidden treasures of Athens. At 34, I’m all about living life to the fullest and savouring every moment.
From the bustling markets to the quiet corners, I've made it my mission to explore every corner of Athens. And let me tell you, the journey is more than amazing! As a passionate foodie, I'm on a quest to uncover the best culinary experiences that Athens has to offer. From traditional tavernas to trendy bistros, I'm always searching for the next delicious bite.
But beyond the food, there's a richness to Athens that can't be found in guidebooks. It's in the winding streets and hidden courtyards, where history whispers its secrets and culture thrives. Athens is more than just its city centre, each neighbourhood has its own unique charm and character waiting to be discovered. So, if you ever find yourself craving adventure and craving a taste of Athens, join me as we wander through this city together. Who knows what we'll discover along the way?
