الوصف

Travelers usually ignore the lovely hills of Athens in favor of concentrating mostly on the Acropolis site. I am able to provide a detailed explanation of each of them, including its history, and suggest lovely locations for stunning photographs. As a native of Athens I know well the most of the good places and secret corners of it. Walking and photography is my passion. I want to share this experience with my guests. I spent a lot of time on each of the hills and brought people with me leaving a great last impression. Athens is not easy to explore, the touristic infrastructure here is not so well developed (except for Acropolis and archeological sites around), so it's easy to lose a lot of curious places. I am here to help you to discover this city at a maximum level. This year-round hiking and walking tour is ideal for small groups or solo travelers.
