There's a lot of history here, and walking around with someone knowledgeable helps peel back the layers and put it in context. Our guide Nikos was passionate about the history and equally proud of his hometown, so we got a great picture of both the past and the present. Phenomenal way to see the town!

Nikos was very kind and knowledgeable. We had a fun morning exploring the city and learnt quite a bit of history. Although he ran away 30 minutes before we were supposed to finish the tour and the itinerary on the description is not that accurate.
