Born and bred in Lesini, a small farming village, I had the opportunity to experience age-old customs and traditions, the beauties of rural Greece, and the authentic flavors of its countryside. A memory that led me to culinary school and afterwards to professional kitchens around the country.
One of my favorite bites is spinach pie with golden crispy handmade phyllo dough and tons of feta cheese.
Fifteen years ago, when I first moved to Athens, I started to explore it as if I was traveling. Now, as a licensed tour guide, it still is my favorite thing to do

I was born and raised in Athens and I've been showing around it for six years now, and let me tell you, I know all the best spots. From hole-in-the-wall joints to fancy restaurants, I've got the inside scoop. And I'm not just about the food—I love making friends from all over the world.
Souvlaki and Spanakopita

Athenian born, traveler, foodie and friend of great wine. Half the days I eat at old school eateries where nothing changes in decades and the other half I search for the new best approaches to our typical dishes. Coming from an island of great cooks, I love comforting foods and especially tomatoes, herbs, mild spices and legumes.
My favorite dish is gemista (stuffed vegetables), especially at summer when the vegetables are ripe and flavorful. Pair it with a nice Greek Sauvignon Blanc and you are in paradise.
As soon as I started traveling I understood that food connects all humans, and 35 countries later I learnt to deeply appreciate Greek culinary tradition and it's uniqeness. Now I am happy to share it with the rest of the world.

Born and raised in Athens, from the moment I was old enough to explore my city with friends I never stopped! And of course food was always in the centre of these explorations! Even the simplest walk down town had a "taste" linked to it.
A good cheese-pie on the go while cruising the city streets always hits the spot
There is nothing more beautiful than experiencing a new place through its flavours and share this with good company, and we certainly aim to please!
