Hey! My name is Alice and I am a Travel Writer based in Athens, Greece. I have over seven years of experience working in travel media and during that time I have produced content for numerous high-profile publications including Forbes Travel Guide, The Huffington Post, Matador Network, and The Times of Israel. I came to Athens on vacation in 2017, fell in love with the city, and never left! I created this site to help you explore Athens and wider Greece like a local and experience all of the things that most tourists miss.
