If you’re reading this review to decide on Stavros’ tour, stop reading and book it! Not only is Stavros a friendly and thoughtful guide, but his knowledge of queer Greece - both Ancient and modern - is remarkable and timely. The sights we saw came second to the knowledge we gained from Stavros as we discussed the prevalence of homosexuality in Ancient Greece, the role of religion in modern queer rights, and the many places queer people convene to find community - both in person and online. By the end of the evening, we felt as if we got to be part of Athens’ queer community for a night. We booked this tour to celebrate my birthday, and Stavros made me feel like I was celebrating with friends. I’m very grateful to the new friend I’ve made in Athens, and will be booking this tour again when I inevitably return!

Entertaing, Interesting, and Good Company
Stavros is easy to reach and coordinate with. All went very smoothly in booking and meeting. Stavros was a great guide and host. He had many interesting stories and was happy to answer lots of questions about the tour, the history of homosexuality in Greek history, and modern gay life in Greece. Some of the information was speculative based on the secrecy of gay relationships, and the time period in which the people lived, but I believe Stavros had researched his tour well. The walk was around some lovely parts of Athens. We started w history and ended in a vibrant area at a gay bar/restaurant. By the end of they tour Stavros felt like a friend. I did have the benefit of being alone w Stavros so we were able to speak easily without others on the tour. A small group of friends would probably have a similar experience. Well worth the time and cost.

A highlight of our time in Athens
Booking a private tour guide was an excellent way to make our visit to Acropolis special. We could not be more satisfied with Markella. She did a wonderful job setting the stage and equipping us with the base knowledge needed to fully enjoy the temples. She is so immersive with her storytelling and pleasant to have conversation with. We toured Delphi the next day and said multiple times how much we miss Markella. Additionally, she is great at communication prior to the tour. You will not regret booking with Markella!

Fun time with Makram
Makram, was a fine host. He was very informed and was fun person to enjoy a short but entertaining kick start tour. We would have been happy to spend more time with him as any subject we raised he was very obliging to discuss in detail. He made our visit to Athens and we recommend him as your tour guide.
