Meet #ThisIsMyAthens project, whereby anyone can meet up with a long-term Athens local and have them show you around!
The program is widely known as one of the very few in the world where there is no fee or any reward for the local whatsoever!
If you are looking for a different type of tour, try a great local initiative known as This is My Athens. A free service, it is run in conjunction with the city’s tourist office, but by local people who want to show you around real Athens and make you fall in love with the things Athenians adore!
Finding This is My Athens guide is simple–visit the url http://myathens.thisisathens.org/im-a-visitor/ select what you’re interested in seeing, leave a few details about yourself and they will pair you with a suitable local guide within 48 hours! Get in touch with your new friend to arrange all the details and start packing.
Let the fun begin!
