About Jenny
Hey there! I’m Jenny, your licensed guide in Athens. I’m passionate about history, archaeology, art and gastronomy. I love sharing hidden corners and fascinating stories of my city. I have two bachelor’s and two master’s degrees and I’m working on my PhD, but what I enjoy most is connecting with people and making their time in Athens unforgettable.
Years of experience & specialties
I've been guiding for 10 years, sharing Athens' history, culture, and everyday life from a local’s perspective. I combine knowledge with personal tips to create an immersive experience.
Languages I'm fluent in
English & Greek
Favorite local cuisine
Spanakopita—crispy phyllo pastry filled with spinach, feta cheese, fresh dill, and green onions. A true classic!
Favorite things to do in Athens
Either strolling along the Athens Riviera, exploring museums and galleries, meeting friends for coffee, or just relaxing with a good book.
