Hi — I'm Oral, a licensed Athens tour guide born and raised in the shadow of the Acropolis. I run TravelLove Athens as a small, personal operation: every tour is me, a handful of travelers, and the city I love. I keep groups small so we can slip down side streets, linger at a favorite bakery, or sit for a while in a quiet corner of the Plaka. If you want a warm, unhurried day in Athens with someone who actually lives here — let's walk.

“I recently had the pleasure to follow Oral on a food tour in Athens. As an Athenian who has lived abroad for many years and who often likes to be a tourist in his own hometown, I can certainly say that I am impressed with the knowledge of the Greek culture, the places that Oral took me to, and the stories that he…

“This was a wonderful, off the beaten path food tour of Athens! It not only included tasty food but wonderful views of the city from a local perspective. The historical perspective was fantastic and our tour guides (Oral and Julia) were just amazing. I will definitely book this tour again the next time I'm in Athens.…
