Born, raised, living and working in Athens. Lover of taking long walks, enjoying the view from the highest spots, learning about anything and everything, exchanging ideas, experiences and facts while wondering how to constantly make the world a better place. I am always curious to know how visitors perceive the city and glad to take part in shaping that! Let's explore this city, which caters for everyone and always has something new in store.

Nikos H.
A friendly, down-to-earth guy who enjoys meeting new people and experiencing new things. I’m in love with my city, and can't get enough of tasting its splendour as well as its diversity. Young at heart - although not a spring chicken any longer.
Brigitte C.
Bonjour,
Je m'appelle Brigitte. Je suis française et athénienne à temps partiel. Je propose de vous faire visiter mon quartier, Kato Patissia. Il est peu fréquenté par les touristes mais recèle de belles surprises qui racontent une partie de l'histoire (récente) de la ville. Chaussures confortables indispensables !
Vanessa F.
Hello everybody! I am Vanessa. Welcome to Athens! I love travelling, exploring, walking, meeting people, food, cooking, summer, beaches and snorkelling! For the purposes of our walk, I can take you to a couple of neighbourhoods in Athens that you might not discover on your own. I also love art, so we can pass by a couple of art galleries if you are interested.
