    Awesome tour.

    "So much fun and interest. I was shown a full range of what I asked for and it was all fantastic. I was met at my hotel and guided back, no chance of being left or getting lost. We covered different areas around Athens centre. I would highly recommend this charming knowledgeable lady."

    Greek Designers

    "Agathi was a delight on our 'shopping day' in Athens. I had asked to visit Greek designers and she followed through with this with an extensive knowledge of where to go, what to look for and what was good value. We visited areas in Athens I was not familiar with but were beautiful and fun. Thank you foryour patience, insights and overall great time."

    Shopping Athens Made Easy

    "My friend and I wanted to shop a variety of stores in Athens with a focus on local and vintage. Agathi began our tour in a beautiful area of Athens that we hadn’t seen. Took us to some beautiful jewelry shops, consignment and local boutiques. We worked our way through a variety of neighborhoods and ended up with some good finds. Agathi was great if we said we weren’t interested in a type of shop and moved on to the next place she had in mind. Three hours flew by."

    So Much Fun & Great Stores

    "We did a family shopping tour with two teens and a hungry husband - Agathi was able to blend shopping and fun bites and drinks along the way to make everyone happy! The stores she took us to were so much more unique and high quality than the stuff you find on the main drags. Plus she was fun to spend time with - this is a must do when you are in Athens."

    Simply wonderful

    "Agathi is a fantastic tour guide. She responds to the interests of each individual and this makes a tour with her so special. She has such a great knowledge of Athens historic site. So in addition to the super shopping tour we also had a historical tour. We got to know great Greek Fashion Designers and visited the best galleries. The four of us can highly recommend her. "
