Hi there! Nice to meet you

Hello,

I am Eleni and I am native Athenian, I deeply love my city, its history and the complex contemporary life, I know every corner of it and its hidden gems, the sleepless city and night life, I will be more than glad to guide you and show you everything in the city. From an hour till the whole day be sure that you will have the most emotional experience in Athens!

I am interested in travelling, getting to know other cultures, playing Greek traditional bagpipe, showing travelers around Athens and Greece, meeting people, connecting them, organizing events and having lots of fun.

In the past years I have been volunteering in the Public Relations of ICOMOS (International Council of Monuments and Sites), which has turned into a part-time job. I have also organised numerous events on a voluntary and professional basis - meetings, conferences and music events.

After a series of life changing events I decided to follow my passion and start my own start up, being fully committed to promote the cultural heritage of Athens. I am still a member of ICOMOS and registered for Athens Convention & Visitors Bureau as Athens Destination Specialist (ADSP) and also a social entrepreneur.

Even if you can't make it to visit Athens, I can offer Online live Experiences.

Stay safe and let me show you through a video call, my mythical city

Can't wait to meet you in one of my Athens tours!

Our guide was certainly knowledgeable about history, however she lacked the ability to engage us and clearly communicate the stories behind the history Could be improved

Eleni is an incredibly knowledgeable guide who shared her deep understanding of history and art, making for a truly memorable tour of the historical sites around the Acropolis. Her insights into the transformation of the neighbouring areas create an authentic local experience! A must do when in Athens A mythical tour!

Dionysis was our tour guide and was so knowledgeable…he spent 3 hours showing us sites, giving us a history lesson and making recommendations for the rest of our time in Athens. He even bought us some of his favorite street food to try! Highly recommend!!

We had been to Athens 3 times, so this time we wanted to see places that were off the beaten path. Eleni gave us that and more. We had a beautiful day exploring the lesser known parts of Athens. If you are looking to see something different in Athens, this is the tour for you.Places we didn't know were there

Eleni has a deep knowledge of history and archaeology and is passionate about her job. She was very patient since I asked her to practice Greek but she was helping with English when I did not understand 100%. She was very nice and welcoming. I highly recommend her as a guide :)great experience!

Eleni helped us lots on our first day in Athens. It was great to understand a bit more about the history and the whereabouts of the main sights. Friendly and knowledgeable and a great way to discover Athens. A city best done on foot! Great Tour

Eleni took us on a 90 minute walk, showing and telling us how Athens had changed since our previous visit in 1979. She also gave us restaurant recommendations, and showed us the city food market. The highlight was a shop where we learned about the health benefits of Greek honey and olive oil. Athens revisited
