Your Guide in Greece

Your Guide in Greece It is about all things Greek! Smaro is a Greek tourist guide who specialises on Greece. I am a trained and CERTIFIED tourist guide and a native of Athens.

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.

📌 ΑΝΑΚΟΙΝΩΣΗ

➡ Τίθεται υπόψιν του κοινού ότι ο επίσημος και μοναδικός ιστότοπος για την αγορά εισιτηρίων εισόδου σε αρχαιολογικούς χώρους, μνημεία και μουσεία του Υπουργείου Πολιτισμού είναι η ηλεκτρονική διεύθυνση www.hhticket.gr που διαχειρίζεται ο Οργανισμός Διαχείρισης και Ανάπτυξης Πολιτιστικών Πόρων (Ο.Δ.Α.Π.), όπου και αναφέρονται οι ισχύουσες τιμές.

➡ Τυχόν τρίτοι φορείς που διαθέτουν στο κοινό εισιτήρια εισόδου και ισχυρίζονται ότι αποτελούν επίσημη ιστοσελίδα της ελληνικής πολιτείας δεν έχουν οιαδήποτε σχέση με το Υπουργείο Πολιτισμού και τον Ο.Δ.Α.Π.

➡ Επισκέπτες που επιθυμούν να αγοράσουν υπηρεσία που υπόσχεται αποφυγή αναμονής κατά την είσοδο (skip the line), πρέπει να είναι ενήμεροι ότι είναι πιθανό να συναντήσουν αναμονή στα σημεία ακύρωσης των εισιτηρίων κατά τις ώρες αιχμής.

➡ Παρακαλούνται οι επισκέπτες των αρχαιολογικών χώρων, μνημείων και μουσείων να δείχνουν ιδιαίτερη προσοχή και να επιβεβαιώνουν κατά τη συναλλαγή τους με ιστοσελίδες ιδιωτών την πραγματική αξία του εισιτηρίου σε σχέση με τυχόν πρόσθετες παροχές που προσφέρει κάθε ιστοσελίδα και την αναγραφή των αναγκαίων στοιχείων συναλλαγής του πωλητή (επωνυμία, έδρα, αριθμός φορολογικού μητρώου) που θα πρέπει να περιλαμβάνονται στους όρους χρήσης.

➡ Any third-party claiming to be the official site of the Greek State and also claiming to provide entrance tickets, has no relation whatsoever το the Ministry of Culture and H.O.C.RE.D.

➡ Visitors wishing to buy a service which promises that they can “skip the line” at the entrance must be informed that they might experience waiting lines at the ticket check points during rush hours.

➡ Visitors of archaeological sites, monuments and museums are kindly requested to pay particular attention and to confirm the real value of the ticket, during their transactions with private websites, with regard to possible extra provisions offered by each website and the reference of all necessary transaction details of the seller (name, registered office, tax registration number) which must be included in the terms of use.
