Since 2011, I have had the pleasure to meet visitors from all over the world and explore together my birthplace. Athens has beautiful surroundings and monuments that offer an abundance of recreational opportunities, plentiful cultural opportunities, as well as many museums and galleries with Classical, Byzantine and modern art to explore. Athens also offers you strong musical and architectural heritage and traditions across our friendly neighbourhoods, along with a broad assortment of restaurants and endless shopping opportunities. See you in Athens!

I am a Fine Arts graduate who really likes to explore the city and find new things. On top of that I really like to share these experiences. I also enjoy learning about new cultures from visitors who come to Athens.
Andreas L.
Athens is the city I call home, although I was born in Munich and have a Swedish passport. I love diversity and I am a passionate urban explorer!
I speak fluently English and German. I work as a web developer/designer, and I am interested in startups and all things web and design.
George E.
Hello! My name is George, I am 43 years old and I live close to the centre of Athens. Let a pc and field cartographer show you the non-touristic point of view of Athens. We will walk through neighbourhoods such as Exarchia, Mets, Koukaki, Anafiotika and Petralona that tourists usually don't visit. Along this walk we will see the local life, old buildings with interesting architecture, cafes and tavernas with nice decoration, street art such as graffiti, statues and modern sculpture. Also, we can climb hills like Lycabettus, Philopappou, Ardittos and Strefi. We will admire the Athens view from above and I’ll explain to you all the landmarks and the geography of the Attica prefecture. I hope that at the end of our tour you'll be happy and full of beautiful pictures in your camera and in your mind!

An anonymous face in the multitude, I’m free to probe my surroundings for the clues and hints that may go unnoticed by others. A typical flâneur, I combine the casual eye of the stroller with the purposeful gaze of the detective.
