Nikitas was wonderful, over the forse of the three hours we spent together he shared with us stories of growing up with his grandmother cooking and grocery shopping, funny facts of past and present times, he talked about history and contemporary times, answering to any question we posed. He took us to lovely places off the beaten path and showed us and opened the door to his Athens! Moreover he ordered for us a variety of different specialties that we would otherwise not have tasted. A really enjoyable experience, totally recommend it!
