Private Tours in Athens

images/shoreexcursions/ports/toursinathens.jpg

No matter how many guide books or blogs about Athens you may have read, noone can present the history, the vibe and the "secret corners" of this city better than a local. Traveling is not only about getting to a place, but also experiencing it to the max. Part of the real experience has to be learning about the history, visiting the remaining parts of ancient sites, but also discovering "holes on the wall" where the locals shop or dine, and learning as much as possible about the current way of living. Our private tours are focusing on offering you an experience that includes all the above, as well as the chance to mingle with local people and learn first hand the famous Greek hospitality. By the way, the Greek word is "filoxenia" (filos + xenos = friend + stranger) that means friend of "strangers", visitors from other parts of the world, and the protector god of filoxenia/hospitality was Zeus himself.
