OK…
If you are a low budget traveler and you need a place to sleep while in Athens ,then please contact me…
I am not doing this to make money…
I just like meeting people from other countries and I’m fascinated by the idea of having travel contacts around the world,people that can host me also when I visit their country.

If you don’t need a host,but only someone to show you around etc etc,then

please contact even if you live in a hostel or somewhere else. I can show you around pretty fast by feet .It can be at daytime or at nighttime.No problem.. So if you would like to see how a real walking adventure with a real Greek person, please contact me.

I live in a flat apartment....with 2 bedrooms.....
I got 2 beds(bunk beds) in my 2nd bedroom.....

OCCUPATION:I work for the Hellenic(Greek) Air Force. I am a drummer/soldier(sergeant in rank) that performs with the Air Force Marching Band...and also has military duties,when needed. My job is a little bit complicated...sometimes is fun,sometimes boring.............................
Just a nice Greek guy....I think....
: )
I grew up in a small town just 2 hours away from Athens.I moved to Athens a couple of years ago,cause I found a job here.....
For one year I was living with a Greek Colombian guy
that I met during my 16month mandatory service in the Greek Army.He was the funniest roommate ever. Yes...funny guy and a good friend...: )
On my 2nd year in Athens,I bought the apartment we lived in..and my roommate left cause he got engaged...

After that I didn't have anymore roommates....
I think I prefer living alone...
(Hosting people is different...I prefer hosting......) I always try to make it feel more comfortable to me.. I'm... generally speaking...a quiet person. Rather shy when in a company of many people. Even with people I know...
I'm more talkative and active in small groups....

I like keeping things tidy and clean at my place.. I like order.....I hate complete chaos.........
Maybe it's cause of my army service...I don't know............................................................
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE IN THIS SITE.....?............................
I would like to meet mature,open-minded and liberal people that wanna have fun....People who just want accommodation and want to be left alone, at least let me know from the beginning.....

I've hosted many people so far......and I think I'm getting addicted to it...
Unfortunately cause of my job mostly I don't have much time to travel.I try though. But anyways.. hosting people is also very,very nice....cause it's like you're on vacations also...
It's fun to share another persons excitement about visiting Athens and Greece in general. It almost makes you feel like an ambassador.............................
MY TRAVELING EXPERIENCE............................
At the United States....and Germany, Austria as well as Turkey already....
I enjoyed visiting Turkey cause I was curious about this country since I was a little boy...
All these wars between Greece and Turkey and our common history as well as cultural exchange have always been fascinating me.. I would like to visit more places in Turkey since the last time I was only in Istanbul. I also hope I get to travel to many more places.....and meet many more people from all over the world....
It's fun...
I hope I get to travel to many more places.....and meet many more people from all over the world................................
PLANNED TRIPS............................
I would like to visit neighboring countries like Albania,F.Y.R.O.M and Bulgaria. I would also like to host people from these countries and of course from Turkey also...Let's not forget them...
Anybody from Turkey is more than welcomed at my place...
And guess what...? My neighbor Achilleas,who lives in the same neighborhood as me,grew up in Istanbul,speaks Turkish and likes having conversations in Turkish. I can't blame him...I have to admit that it's a beautiful language....
So...what are you waiting for...Come over....!!!!!!!............................
MY INTERESTS............................
Movies,music,graffiti,video games(My favorites are Strategy like games)....comic books...
Art in general....
I also love Mythology as well as History.....
Not only Greek...but Global...It's so interesting. I was always fascinated by ancient cultures and lost civilizations,etc. I absolutely love going to the beach for a swim. It's a good workout...and a good place to hang out with your friends...
I enjoy long walks...and interesting conversations....
I prefer going out with my friends in small bars...not very crowded places....
But..every now and then,if I'm in the mood I can even go dancing in a big club.(I'm not the best dancer in the world..but I got some rhythm.I play drums after all..). And of course....I enjoy flirting and meeting cute ladies...After all....I am a guy..: )
I love women..really. You know what they say...You can't live with them...Can't live without them...............................
PHILOSOPHY............................
Sometimes life seems good.....sometimes bad.......
No matter what happens to you.....you're gonna end up being a much more complete and mature person in the end....
In other words...don't worry..be happy.....
I wish I could be happy all the time and not to stress about things..I wish....but...Life is strange sometimes..
---------
I try to live my life in a liberal and open-minded way...especially when it comes to relationships and dating.I like the terms POLYAMORY,POLYGAMY..and OPEN-RELATIONSHIPS. I wanna enjoy life to the full before I get old..have as much fun as possible..and I also wanna meet people that think like me...
------
On a more general note,I have mixed feelings and thoughts about everyone and everything...even people that want to hurt me...intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes people can be cruel and mean...Even if they don't do it on purpose....
I just get the feeling that whatever you do,even if your intentions are good....people will find a way to misinterpret your deeds...and make you feel bad. I'm so jealous of children sometimes. So innocent.............................
MOVIES,BOOKS,MUSIC............................
I especially enjoy horror movies......
Really,I'm a horror movie ju**ie. As for music.....I like everything.....that has drums..;D
From traditional to classical music. I'm afraid I'm not into books so much...? Do comic books count..? When I was younger I used to collect comic books like crazy..I have a whole bookcase full of comic books back in my parents house...I still try to resist from making my collection a little bit bigger.............................
TYPES OF PEOPLE THAT I ENJOY............................
Musicians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And especially traveling performers...
If you play any instrument at all you are most than welcomed at my place.
----
Also graffiti artists......
I used to experiment also with graffiti a long time ago.....
---
And ...people who are interested in Greco-Roman Mythology and History....
It's so much more interesting when you meet people that not only come to Greece for the nice weather,and beautiful islands.....

I photoshopped Troy to be more historically accurate. We might often associate the Trojan War with Classical Greece, but the real Trojan War would have taken place much earlier in the Mycenaean period, roughly around 1200-1250BC. Homer's Illiad was written down 500 years or so after the period. Incredibly it preserves many details that we now know are historically accurate for the Trojan war. For example Homer at one point describes an ancient form of boar tusk helmet that was already an old fashioned type of helmet in the period of the Trojan War. Big thank you to HellenicArmors for letting me use pictures of his fantastic reconstructions of Mycenaean armour. Check out his incredible interpretations and reconstructed armours. Also big thank you to Gioal Canestrelli for his expert help and advice. Armour finds from this period are incredibly rare. I've chosen to dress Achilles in Dendra style armour from 1400BC. This is rather earlier then the Trojan War, but Ideograms from Tiryn show that similar armour was familiar in 1300BC. Which brings us much closer to the earlier datings of the Trojan War (1250BC). A common theory on the Dendra armour is that it was used by charioteers. But using experimental archaeological, accurate reproductions have proved that it's suitable for use on foot. The armour, despite it's bulky appearance provides good mobility. Armourer Katsikis Dimitrios, that has created museum grade replicas of the armour sees it as most suited for heavy infantry.

"The pauldrons (shoulder guards) are extremely sophisticated defensive gears seen from architectonical and practical point of view. Despite their enormous volumes are fully operational and enable a full range of shoulder and arm moves .... The front and back metallic “curtains” ensure a high level of mobility and freedom of moves. It's worth noting the sophisticated architectural details. The bigger diameter of the frontal curtain (in order to facilitated the narrow back curtain) and its shorter height (easier frontal walking/marching)." -Katsikis Dimitrios, armourer and greek armour expert.

I've used Homers description of Achilles armour. Achilles Shield is described as being decorated with concentric circles depicting various mythological scenes. I've tried to hint at some of the complexities of the shield design described. The "Proto-dipylon" shape of the shield used in the film version is broadly accurate. Though in this period it probably would have been constructed out of cowhide with a wooden frame. No shields have survived from this period but there are many depictions in period artwork. His helmet is based on various depictions of horned helmets throughout the period. Homer described Achilles helmet as having four "Tubes" (probably referring to the horns often depicted on period artwork) and a golden mane or crest. I've given Hector a large figure of eight type shield. I've dressed him in bronze plate armour. The construction is based on depictions of Sea Peoples in the Medinet Habu Egyptian temple. The sea peoples were confederations of mediterranean peoples and therefore perhaps not too dissimilar to the Trojans in terms of equipment. Some of those tribes mentioned, like the Lukka and the Peleset (Philistines) were probably from the Eastern edge of the mediterranean sea- like the Trojans. His shoulder guards are based on surviving guards from Thebes. Nasal guards are not depicted on any of the artwork from this period, so I've removed that from the film version. He wears bronze helmet with horns and a horsetail plume.
