Must see with Constantino!

Published on Nov, 2024

The best part of our tour, In addition to the amazing sites and all of the history here in Athens, was our guide Constantino. He is so knowledgeable, polite, and kind, the tour just would not have been the same without his guidance. AND he suggested the BEST place for dinner, ARSENIS TAVERNA, the food is absolutely fabulous, a must have meal. I’ll definitely be back. Thank you to all, and give this man a raise!!
