Hi there! Nice to meet you

Costas

I'm 67 and I've played championship level chess, translated scores of books (history, art, humanities, essays, some literature), sung. I ride a bike through Athens since decades; I like learning new languages, modern and ancient.

I'm a licensed lecturer guide for all of Greece, a graduate of the Law Faculty (Department of Public Law and Political Science), Athens University (NKUA) and of the Faculty of Philology (Department of Linguistics), NKUA. My language skills have never disappointed anyone.

Great person to lead you through a walk back into Ancient Greek history and the sights before your eyes. Very friendly and interactive and gave us an appreciation we would never have achieved on our own. Would recommend him to anyone.Friendly Knowledgeable Accommodating

We had the pleasure of touring the Acropolis with Costas. We had visited years ago, but it was much more interesting and insightful taking the private tour with Costas. His knowledge and anecdotes made for an amazing experience. It was especially meaningful as we were visiting on Easter Weekend to learn some of the Greek Orthodox history and traditions. He even took the extra effort after our tour to send us live photos of ceremonies and traditions we had discussed. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this great outing! Fabulous guide!

We found Costas to be a brilliant tour guide for our visit He spoke very clearly and explained everything in a way that we knew what everything was The information provided was second to none We loved it and highly recommend a tour with Costas He truly knows his stuff and is a lovely guy to take you around Worth every penny in my eyes We paid for a private tour for just the two of us and Costas The 3 Hours went in a blinkOutstanding tour

I spent a morning visiting the Acropolis with Costas, and I have to say that my son and I thoroughly enjoyed our short visit. Costas is very helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive. I would definitely recommend his services.

I did the mythology tour in Athens with my children (11/13). Costas was very knowledgeable about mythology and the city. He had some great places to visit and I was then able to then navigate the centre of the city. He brought the tour down to the level of the kids and they gained a lot from it. Would highly recommend. Lovely tour

We couldn’t have asked for more. Costas prepared us very well for the acropolis with a museum tour prior to that. He provided very good and helpful backround information to fully enjoy the acropolis Great Acropolis Museum und Acropolis tour
