So worth signing up for this tour with Stavros! We didn’t know much about the various neighborhoods surrounding Athens and this tour was definitely super informative and fun. Stavros went out of his way recommending other places to visit, including the islands. Highly recommend!
Stavros was a great guide, fun and knowledgeable... help me with finding my way around and found us good coffee
Our guide, Stavros was very good. This walking tour gave us a great perspective to one gay community. For Americans, do not expect Hell’s kitchen tour. Expect Bushwick Queens. For theater lovers, imagine being in the show, Rent. This is the experience you will have. Had amazing views of Athens. Enjoyed quiet streets in a bohemian community. Stopped for a few drinks to learn more of the gay community of Athens.
Stavros was our guide and he was terrific. We saw places and things that we would never have seen on our own including some amazing views of the whole city. It was a pleasure getting to know Stavros for the 3 hours we were all together. He is really knowledgeable, personable and kind. We would highly recommend this tour.
Stavros offered a very comprehensive tour of highlights pertaining to gay Athens. I learned things I never knew before. Stavros was quite friendly and approachable--making it easy to ask questions. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in gaining insight about gay history in Athens by visiting key hotspots.
I had a wonderful afternoon with Stavros on the LGBT+ tour. He's very knowledgeable on all things Greek and is very personable and kind. We exchanged contact information and know that we will stay in touch. Thanks Stavros!
I enjoyed walking through some of the local neighborhoods and learning about the LGBTQ+ community’s customs and celebrations.
I had a great time walking the city with Stavros! We covered a lot of ground and by the end it felt like I had a new friend in Athens. He shared tons of local knowledge, showed me some hidden gems, and pointed out all the best spots for a view, a bite, and a drink. I’m traveling solo and he tailored the tour to me, and left me with all of the advice I needed to have fun evenings in the Athens LGBTQ scene!
