Travelers planning a trip to Athens are encouraged to apply online for a “This is My Athens” personal tour around town with an Athens Local. The tour takes you beyond the traditional guidebook sights and places of interest.
Let an Athenian take you to that special neighborhood bakery, or show you some great neighborhoods along the southern coast and the breathtaking promenades.
Let a local advise you on that great restaurant near the Acropolis that serves a genuine Grecian specialty. Go shopping with a local that knows all those great little shops for special handmade souvenirs and bargains.
