Bio

Credentials

1. I'm Onoufrios Dovletis and I'm an OFFICIAL Tour Guide LICENSED by the Greek Ministry of Tourism to give tours inside sites and museums.

2. Athens has been my home since 1995. What better place to study History and Archaeology, right?
  As a student, I used to study in the site of the Agora and take part in excavations in Plaka.

3. My interest in languages led me to extensive Translation Studies (Athens) with a Master's in Translation.
  Overall I’ve studied Greek (Modern, Ancient), Latin, English, Italian, Spanish, German, French, Turkish, Russian and Arabic (don't worry, I don't really speak all of them).
  I love etymology so during my tours you will see that it is 'all Grεεk' to you!

Personal story

1. A native Greek, I was born in 1985 in Thessaloniki, MACEDONIA, northern Greece
‍(NOT to be confused with the Slavic country above Greece that is wrongfully using the Greek name Macedonia and has NO connection to Greece and its history).

2. 'Onoufrios' (in Greek Ονούφριος) actually is Ancient Egyptian and means 'he who is always good' (let's hope I can live up to that!).

‍

Passions

1. I’ve taken Writing and Acting classes in Athens, London and New York. I have acted in the theatre in Athens and New York, and in films in Greece, the UK and Malta.
  I've published two poetry collections [Ένας νέος δίχως νέα (=A young man with no news), Θάνατος στην Ελλάδα (=Death in/to Greece)] and a collection of short stories titled Θανάτου 20 Ιστορίες (20 Death Stories).
  If you are looking for a gift for your greek-speaking friends, you can find my books here.

2. I enjoy giving awareness tours to people who are serious about exploring the deep history, art, and local culture of Greece and want a guide who is just as passionate. If that sounds like you, then you've found the right person.
  My tours focus on historical insight, not shopping or culinary itineraries.
