Be informed from an insider about events, facts and happenings, contemporary information on museums, discoveries, hotels, destinations, restaurants & any secrets a traveler must enjoy! THIS MEANS THAT...
I am NOT just a university graduate of vaguely related subjects to what tourists are interested in; NOR am I a taxi driver; NOR a person who so happened to vacation in Greece for a summer and who
thinks that has mastered Greece. I know it inside out, I know the official (Acropolis, big museums, classical tour and all that jazz) and unofficial face of the city - and the country. I was trained in the School of Tourist Guides of Athens for 3 years and graduated with distinction in March of 1998 and I hold a professional license to guide, as every person involved in this trade ought to do according to Greek law (please be informed about what should be the qualifications of a tour guide: http://www.tourist-guides.gr/en/info/professional-guide.aspx). Since 1998 I have guided all around Greece groups from Stanford, Harvard and Yale Alumni, Swan Hellenic, Abercrombie & Kent, the British Museum, the National Geographic and Linblad, the American Institute of Archaeology, the Biblical Archaeology Society, the Smithsonian Institution, as well as a variety of American colleges, private and other specialized groups. I am available to provide my skills and professional knowledge. I also hold a BA in Sociology and a MA in Cultural Heritage Studies. I do independent research in Heritage and Tourism related issues. I love to collaborate, to travel and to meet people - and cats and to scuba dive and bike! As a result, I am the World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations Area Representative in SE Europe (http://wftga.org/), a WFTGA Int'l Trainer for guides, a member of Greenpeace and a few more interesting and active organisations.
