Hi there! Nice to meet you

Nikos

Born and raised in Athens, I have explored since I was a kid the secrets of this amazing city and the endless beauties of Greece. My passion is to discover hidden treasures, places with exceptional charm and untold stories, known only to a few people, the true explorers. Then, to show these gems to other people, sharing this precious knowledge. This led me to make my passion my profession, becoming a documentary filmmaker.

Travelling and knowing new cultures is a mindset for me. To appease this wanderlust I have travelled for 10 years around the world, studied and lived in France, India and Cameroon, collecting extraordinary experiences along the way.

It will be my pleasure and honour to share with you the best kept secrets of my city, country and culture, offering you a unique, vivid experience.

Had booked the trip to the temple of Poseidon - and had a fantastic day with good food and fascinating experiences. Nikos arranged the whole trip to suit everyone's needs - not least my walking-impaired father's pace. It was both cozy and interesting - Nikos is a great storyteller. We definitely recommend Nikos. Best day in Athens!Fantastic!

We hadden een geweldige tour met Nikos! Hij vertelde fantastische verhalen over de omgeving, we zagen meer dan we hadden verwacht en aten een heerlijke maaltijd! Cape Sounio was prachtig! Wat een leuke manier om op deze manier de omgeving te ontdekken! Nikos bedankt!Geweldige tour!!

I am travelling through Greece with my 15 year old daughter. We booked a tour from Athens to Cape Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon. Nikos was an excellent guide - at the end we felt we had a new friend. He is a polymath - with multiple degrees and interests, currently completing a degree in Archeology. He was a wealth of information and presented it in a very engaging way for both myself and my daughter. We had asked to spend some time outdoors in nature and he took us to two sites which were outstandingly beautiful and significant - we would never have known about these places on our own. He was very kind to my daughter, always making sure she was comfortable and included. We can't speak highly enough - this was really a perfect day in a beautiful part of the world. Perfect day

We spent Christmas in Athens and wanted one day outside the city. We chose the trip to Cape Sounion and Nikos because of his interest in history and archaeology. Because of the time of the year, we were not interested in a beach stop but wanted a coastal drive and munch in a local restaurant. We also asked him to suggest anything else of interest in the area. He collected us from our hotel at 9.30 a.m. The drive to Cape Sounion was stunningly beautiful. On the way, he provided interesting information about ancient and modern Athens. He was very easy to talk to, and we enjoyed the conversation. At Sounion ,we had all the time we wanted to explore the temple precinct, soak up the atmosphere and marvel at the play of sea, distant mountains and light. Afterwards , he took us to the ancient silver mines in Lavrio. This area was new to us. Nikos gave us detailed explanations of the history of the area, the ancient mining processes and also showed us the stone theatre. Afterwards, we went to a small taverna for an excellent local. lunch . We arrived back at the hotel shortly before five. Nikos was an exceedingly pleasant and knowledgeable companion. He was thoughtful and understanding of my reduced mobility and completely fulfilled all our expectations for the day. A Perfect December Outing

We had a perfect day traveling and seeing the sights with Nikos. He was very informative, flexible and fun! It was an awesome way to get out of the city and see Napflio and the countryside. Great day with Nikos!

What a perfect experience. Our day trip to the Temple of Poseidon with Nikos was nothing short of magical! From the moment we left Athens, Nikos made the journey so much more than just a road trip to an archaeological site. His deep knowledge and passion for Athens and his enthusiasm for sharing the region’s beauty were absolutely infectious. He showed us stunning viewpoints and breathtaking natural landscapes. What made the experience even more special was the hidden architectural gem Nikos shared with us…a site we never would have discovered on our own. He truly went above and beyond, even taking us to an incredible lunch at a local spot. This wasn’t just a tour…it was an unforgettable adventure led by someone who clearly loves what he does. If you’re looking for a personalized and enriching experience outside of Athens, we can’t recommend Nikos highly enough!Amazing Day/Outsyanding Guide Nikos

We spent the entire day with Nikos visiting the Peloponnese Peninsula stopping at the Corinth Canal, Epidarus and the lovely town of Napflio…all wonderful places to explore. Nikos made our visit memorable due to his extraordinary wealth of knowledge as well as his easy going and accommodating manner. Truly a memorable day….thank you Nikos!A wonderful day with Nikos

Booking Nikos was the best decision of our vacation. Our excursion to Delphi was the highlight of our trip all thanks to Nikos. Amazingly kind, knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. By the end of the excursion I felt like I'd just taken a road trip with an old friend. He answered all of our questions in depth with a real talent for story telling. He made the process of navigating around Delphi extremely simple and stress free. I can't say enough good things about Nikos, a truly special, interesting, and unforgettable person and experience. Best Day of the trip. Book Nikos Now!
