Magdalini V.
My name is Magdalini, and I have studied social science. I was born and raised in the centre of Athens. I love my city and I cannot wait to show you and share with you the reasons why!
Maria Antonia T.
Hello, my name is Maria Antonia. I was born and raised in Athens, but I also come from Lisbon, Portugal. I love both my countries, their history, culture and people. I have always regarded myself as an inter-cultural and travelling soul, always striving to broaden my cultural horizons by connecting with people from different countries. And this is the main reason why I decided to become an Athens Local. Together, we will immerse ourselves in the heart of beautiful Athens, by strolling through its bustling alleys and main squares, and by capturing vivid images of its past, present and future.
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.
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.
