More about me

As your Withlocals guide, my goal is to make your experience in Athens, the historic capital of Greece, as authentic and memorable as possible and ensure that you will get the best of what it has to offer.

Through me, my extensive knowledge and love for this majestic and ancient city, you will experience Athens like a true Athenian, discovering the city's rich history, vibrant culture, and delicious cuisine.

From the iconic Acropolis, the Temple of the Olympian Zeus and the Ancient Agora to the bustling Monastiraki, the gorgeous maze of alleyways and backstreets of Psirri and the picturesque streets of the Plaka district (Old Town), I will take you on a journey through time and venture off the beaten path to discover hidden gems that only the locals know about.

With over 3,000 years of history, Athens is a city that is steeped in culture, mythology, and ancient ruins. Whether you are a history buff, a foodie, or simply someone who loves to explore new places and soak up the local atmosphere, lifestyle, culture and customs, I can tailor our tour to suit your interests and preferences.

But that's not all! In addition to exploring Athens itself, I offer tours to Delphi, one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece and the site of the famous Oracle of Delphi (Pythia) and also to Cape Sounio and the Poseidon Temple, a magnificent cliff-top sanctuary dedicated to the God of the Sea, where you can witness the breathtaking sunset over the Aegean Sea.

On our journey to Delphi, which, in the ancient world, was also known as the "Navel of the World," we will explore the scenic mountainous region of Central Greece and make a must-do stop at Arachova, the “Winter Mykonos of Greece”.

In Delphi, we will discover the ancient ruins of the Sanctuary of Apollo, where the ancient Greeks came to consult the Oracle of Delphi, one of the most famous and powerful oracles in history. We will also explore the Delphi Archaeological Museum, which houses an impressive collection of ancient artifacts from the site.

Meanwhile, our visit to Cape Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon will take us on a coastal adventure through charming seaside towns and stunning views of the Aegean Sea, to one of Greece's most beautiful locations, located at the southernmost point of the Attica peninsula where we can further enjoy dazzling sea views and marvel at the temple's architecture. Along the way, we will be making several captivating stops, primarily in the Southern Suburbs—widely regarded as the most beautiful part of Athens and we will immerse ourselves in their unparalleled beauty and character. This is where I call home, a place I know intimately, down to every nook and cranny, and I’m thrilled to share its hidden gems and local secrets with you.

Completing our trilogy of captivating day trips, I invite you to join me on an extraordinary adventure to the breathtaking Peloponnese region, a true gem of Greece. On this excursion, we will delve into three extraordinary destinations: the Corinth Canal, Nafplio, and the ancient theater of Epidaurus. Prepare to be enthralled by the beauty and history that unfold before us on this remarkable journey.

Our first stop will be the Corinth Canal, a marvel of engineering that connects the Aegean Sea to the Ionian Sea. As we stand on the bridge overlooking the canal, you'll be awestruck by the sheer magnitude of this man-made waterway and the breathtaking views it offers. We'll learn about the canal's fascinating history and the impact it had on trade and transportation in ancient and modern times.

Next, we'll make our way to Nafplio, a charming coastal town that was once the capital of Greece. With its Venetian architecture, narrow streets, and scenic harbor, Nafplio exudes a romantic and nostalgic ambiance. We'll explore the historic Old Town, visit the imposing Palamidi Fortress perched on a hilltop, and perhaps indulge in some local delicacies at one of the charming seaside tavernas.

Our final destination for the day will be the awe-inspiring ancient theatre of Epidaurus, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its remarkable acoustics and well-preserved architecture. As we step into this ancient amphitheater, you'll feel the echoes of thousands of years of history. I'll share captivating stories and legends associated with the theater, transporting you back to the time when it hosted magnificent performances and dramatic competitions.

These tours are a perfect complement to our exploration of Athens and provide a unique and immersive experience that offers an opportunity to experience the stunning natural beauty that surrounds the city, as well as a deeper insight into the history and mythology of Greece. Throughout the day, I'll provide insightful commentary, enriching your experience with historical and cultural anecdotes.

I am a well-read and a well-travelled people person and my level of English is native-like as I have previously lived, studied (BSc Economics & Accountancy – City, University of London) and worked in London for over a decade, bringing a unique perspective to your tour that blends local knowledge with a global perspective and adding an extra layer of richness to your experience.

With your comfort and convenience as my top priority, I am pleased to offer transportation in my spacious and opulent SUV. Our travel between destinations will be smooth and enjoyable, offering you a convenient and delightful mode of transportation throughout our tours.
