Hey!!! 🖐🏻 I am Alex, living in Athens for my photography studies. I grew up in a small mountainous village of Greece called Konitsa. I moved to Athens 4 years ago and now i’m living here, exploring small hidden corners, searching for Greek traditional fiestas in the city, trying to make a big city feel like home. About our trip: We will be living in the center to be able to walk around to experience the city to the fullest. We will be sharing rooms in a hostel. What I truly want to show you is not the touristic side of Athens, the monuments and the full extravagant presentation of the Greek culture. On the contrary, I will be showing you the beautiful side of Greece but also the real one. I will be showing you what real Greek music is, rempetika, music from the 60s, traditional music from all around Greece. We will be walking to historical places, but also to neighborhoods that are making history at the present. We will also be going to the mountain Hemittus where there is the perfect spot to relax and have a drink after our short hike to a beautiful view point. Plus, depending on the weather forecast, we will visit the beautiful island of Aigina, where we can enjoy the island life and maybe have a bath. As far as the last day is concerned, I wanted it to be free to decide together, after having seen Athens, what would we all like to do. 📸 I should add that as a photographer, I will be glad to photo cover our experience in Athens (if you wish so). 📸 Reasonableness to say that if you would like to discuss the trip, to add or change something, I will be glad to do it! What is included? - 4 nights accommodation in a shared room - Acropolis entrance ticket - Taxi that will take us to Hemittus mountain - Boat tickets for Aigina Island - Small organizational fee What’s NOT included? - Flight tickets - Personal expenses - Transportation costs Take your positive energy and your big smile and let me show you Athens like a local! Looking forward to meeting you!

Athens
Day 5
Our last day, I want it to be free to decide together! We can continue our walking tour and visit the beautiful oasis, the National Garden. Just a few meters away from Syntagma metro station and right next to the national parliament lies the National Garden which, together with the Ζappeion Hall is a place of full of vegetation, rare kinds of plants, saplings and birds. After we will walk around Exarcheia which has an edgy alternative vibe, its streets decorated with politically charged murals and lined with anarchist bookshops and stores selling rare vinyl and vintage guitars. Bars and clubs host live music, including rembetika, folk traditional music, jazz and punk acts. Of course, I can suggest more places or activities to do, but I want to make this decision together! Some of the things I have in mind are: continue our walking tour, slack line in the park, surf at Vouliagmeni, check some museums
