Hi there! Nice to meet you

Alexandros

Hello, I’m Alexandros — a licensed tour guide with over 15 years of experience in cultural tourism, based in Thessaloniki.

This city isn’t just where I live — it’s a place I know deeply and care about sharing with visitors in a meaningful way. My goal is to offer more than a typical tour. I aim to create a thoughtful, engaging experience that connects you with the stories, heritage, and living culture of Thessaloniki.

We can walk together through its many layers — from ancient archaeological sites to Byzantine churches, Ottoman landmarks, and lively neighbourhoods — or venture beyond the city for a personalized day trip to some of Northern Greece’s most important cultural destinations.

I offer private tours to:

-Meteora, with its breathtaking cliff-top monasteries

-Vergina, where the Royal Tombs of the Macedonians were discovered

-Philippi and Kavala, rich in antiquity and early Christian history

-Dion, at the foothills of Mount Olympus

-Pella, the birthplace of Alexander the Great

Each experience is tailored to your interests — whether you're passionate about history, architecture, photography, local traditions, or gastronomy.

As the Byzantine scholar Nikephoros Choumnos once wrote:

“No one is without a homeland, as long as Thessaloniki exists.”

Step into its story — and you’ll understand why this city stays with you.

I am a Canadian Pastor, so the two biblical tours we had with Alex were great. The first day with Alex, we traveled to ancient Philippi, and Kavala. Alex's knowledge of the biblical history, and its importance made the Scriptures come alive for me. Not only was Alex informed, he was respectful of the importance of the sites to me. For example, he gave me time to read and reflect at the river where Lydia was baptized. It was very moving spiritually, and a moment in time I will always remember. The following day, we toured Thessaloniki, again with the focus on the biblical and religious significance in the life of the Apostle Paul and the establishing of the church. When discussing the history and importance of Thessaloniki, I knew Alex was truly in his element! Again Alex respected what was important to me and my wife. For example, because it was a Sunday, Alex waited while we participated in the church service that was in progress. His sensitivity to what he knew was important to us, along with the incredible views and information was spectacular. I would highly recommend Alex!!Informative

We absolutely loved touring Highlights and Hidden Gems in Thessaloniki with Alexandros. He is an excellent guide providing insight into the history of Thessaloniki. Time flew right by as we visited monuments, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the markets and their historical significance, restaurants and food ideas. We enjoyed every minute and we’re grateful to Alex for the beautiful introduction to his city.History, Culture, & Markets

On our first day in Thessaloniki, my husband, 13 year old son and I had arranged to do a historical walking tour with Alexandros. From the moment we met, he was friendly, personable, and made us feel completely at ease. Alexandros’s knowledge of the city's history was evident, and he shared it in a way that was both engaging and easy to follow. From Roman ruins and Byzantine churches to Ottoman influences and modern city life, he gave us a well-rounded picture of how the city has evolved over time. His explanations were informative without ever feeling like a lecture, and he was always happy to answer our questions or elaborate on topics we were particularly interested in. Alexandros made sure to tailor the tour to include what we wanted to see and learn about, and adjusted the pace and route to suit us. He also ensured that we were not too tired, given that we had arrived after a very long flight the day before. One of the highlights was our visit to the Vlatadon Monastery. We were fortunate that it was open while we were there, and Alexandros brought us in to explore. The monastery is beautiful and peaceful, with an amazing view over Thessaloniki and the sea. We likely would have missed it if we had been on our own. If you're visiting Thessaloniki and want an insightful introduction to the city, we absolutely recommend booking a tour with Alexandros. It was the perfect way to start our stay! The perfect introduction to Thessaloniki

We booked two different tours with Alex, both with a little bit different of intention to them. Alex was extremely flexible in making sure we got the most of our time with him and seeing exactly what we wanted.Second tour with Alex and would recommend

Alex is a very professional and great guide. He customizes your trip to your wishes. We were already in Thessaloniki a year before, but we did not really like the city at that time. Alex showed us true hidden gems of Thessaloniki: beautyfull churches, excravations and more. He explained the history of Thessaloniki, starting with Alexander the Great. After this trip, we loved Thessaloniki! We highly recommend Alex for your trip! Great guide!!
