Hi, I’m Helen or Eleni

Hi, I’m Helen or Eleni

I’ve lived in Athens for 4 years

I speak English, Greek

I am Educator

I consider myself an international nomad, as I lived in the USA and Greece. I love traveling and have experienced European, American, and Caribbean cultures. I have an 11-year-old, spunky daughter, who means the world to me. My greatest joy, besides my daughter, is exploring the world through my senses. I grew up immersed in Greek culture and traditions. I love exploring Athens, as there are always hidden gems, especially in the areas near the center (Psiri, Koukaki, Gazi, etc.) There are so many places to explore in terms of traditional and modern Greek food. And if you love the Seaside, as do I, areas like Faliro and Glyfada are worth a visit, Since they have some of the most scenic bars and restaurants in the city. Lastly, Athens is home to some of the greatest architectural marvels and there is so much to see when it comes to museums and ancient monuments. Let's explore Athens, its culture, architecture, and traditions together.
