Sibylle F.
Hello there,
my name is Sibylle. I moved to Greece from Germany when I was 26 years old, and since then I have been living in Athens. Being retired from my job, I enjoy strolling through the city and exploring new neighbourhoods and small, traditional taverns. And I am deeply dedicated to the Greek fauna and flora which I like to explore via hiking in the mountainside around Mount Hymettos. If you would like to learn something about the nature surrounding this big city, I would be pleased to take you for a walk with a spectacular view on Athens from above.

I am 34 years old, born and raised in Athens. I enjoy meeting new people and hanging around with them. I've lived twice abroad (Sweden and Scotland) as an Erasmus student and Msc student and really liked knowing people from other countries.
Georgia C.
Hi, I'm Georgia and I am a born and raised Athenian. I study Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens and in my free time I love riding horses and playing the flute. I enjoy meeting new people from all around the world, from different cultural backgrounds and engaging in interesting conversations. I believe that the most interesting parts of our city are concealed from tourists, so I want to show to travellers the side of Athens that locals experience and live in.
Dimitris T.
I’ll leave the ancient / historical monuments and typical city landmarks to the pros and the travel books. I believe that mingling with locals and acting like a local is the best way for our visitors to get acquainted with the Greek spirit. So that’s what I offer you as a volunteer of “This is Athens with a Local".

I love travelling and exploring the European capitals, watching all the experiences they have to offer unravel before my eyes, but Athens will always hold a special place in my heart. I'm an avid Athenian who loves to share my city with curious visitors. I love learning languages, sharing everyday - life experiences and having a good time!
