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.
Who will show you around Athens?
- Athenians over the age of 18 who love and know their city
- Athenians who live in different parts of the city
- Athenians who are open-minded, cultured, friendly and are excited to share their knowledge of Athens and its many charms with visitors
- Athens Locals speak English and in some instances, additional languages
- Athens Locals are volunteers. They are not professional official licensed tour guides specializing in the history, architecture or cultural heritage of Athens
