Guide to Athens
Ancient marbles whisper. Let’s turn up the volume.
I'm Charis — and Athens is my lifelong story.
A licensed guide certified by the Greek Ministry of Tourism, and a passionate storyteller who has spent years uncovering Athens’ layers: the mythological, the archaeological, and the deeply human.
Whether you come to Athens with a notebook, a family, a team, or simply curiosity, I create experiences that stay with you long after you leave the city. Every visit I lead is unique, because every group is unique, and that never gets old.
My certification is simply my promise that what you hear is real grounded in years of study and a genuine love for this city.

Athens Through Stories
Private, themed and family tours of Athens’ most iconic — and most secret — sites. Every visit is built around your group, your pace and your curiosity. History told through stories, not textbooks.
Classical Athens
The Acropolis, the Parthenon, the Ancient Agora — the essential Athens, told through the lives of the people who built it, debated in it and lived it every single day.
Mythical Athens
Designed for curious minds of all ages. Interactive, engaging and genuinely fun — for children and the adults who forgot to stop asking questions.
Tasty Athens
Street pies, market chaos, honey-drizzled bites and Greek coffee. A walk through the city the way locals actually eat it — from Varvakios market to the backstreets of Psyrri.
Hidden Athens
Byzantine churches glittering with gold, a National Gallery most visitors never find, and the quiet corners Athens keeps to itself. The city beneath the city.
Beyond Athens
The rest of Greece, close enough to reach in a day. Ancient sanctuaries, island light and landscapes that shaped the myths — all with the same private, story-first approach.
Athens for Business
Curated cultural experiences for teams, clients and guests. Private tours that leave a lasting impression — because the best business conversations happen outside the boardroom.
What every tour includes: A licensed, certified guide · Fully private · Your pace, your questions, your Athens

C'était parfait. Elle nous a aussi donné des adresses pour diner ou boire un verre.Posted on Google Val Bgx08/06/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Superbe expérience. Nous avons adoré. Charis nous a offert une remontée dans le temps pédagogique et ludique mais surtout elle s'assure que les notions sont comprises et retenues. Histoire, mythologie, moment de vie...tout est abordé. Je recommande vivement !Posted on Google Moilesyeuxbleus30/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons tout d’abord rencontré Anna à notre arrivée samedi pour une découverte historique d’Athènes très intéressante et sympathique, un super moment de partage agrémenté d’une découverte de quelques spécialités culinaires grecques. Nous avons enchaîné dimanche avec Charis pour une visite de l’Acropole puis de son musée : un super moment ou nous avons appris plein de choses, de nombreuses anecdotes, des sourires et des souvenirs magnifiques. Un grand merci : Michel et Marlène, Cédric et Angélique, Yvan et Marie, Jean-Stephane et Sophie et enfin Franck.Posted on Google Angelique Jeminet18/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Merci Charis pour cette belle expérience !Posted on Google Marlene Rigler15/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had many different private guides in different parts of the world, but none better than Charis Kavvada, who was the most knowledgeable, passionate and fun to be with guide we have had! There is nothing she doesn't know about the Acropolis and she is an expert in many other sites we didn't have time to see. You will be fortunate to have Charis as your guide!Posted on Google nancy greenspon10/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I had the great fortune to book a tour of the Acropolis Museum with Charis. She is one of the finest, most knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides we have ever experienced. And we have had many excellent guides over the past 30 years. Her attention to detail and her passion for the history and mythology, the architecture and the archaeology and her overall approach to the collection were all superb. We felt so fortunate and taken care of. Please book with Charis and you won’t be disappointed. You will surely be delighted!Posted on Google JP Nicolaides21/04/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charis is a great guide, very informative and fun tour. Walked up the Acropolis with my elderly mother who thoroughly enjoyed the games & tour & was able to keep up with the pace.
