I am Nickolas and I represent a group of drivers all of whom speak English. All of us are non-smokers, myself included and we keep our air-conditioned cars well-serviced and to high standards of cleanliness. Me personal: My name is Nickolas, I am 45 years old and I'm a driver in Greece. I have studied the history of art and graphic design and worked at a young age at an Athens newspaper as a designer (I designed this website and took all the photos - If you like it let me know). It all started when a friend asked me to be a driver / guide as I speak English very well and know the history and mythology of my country. Since that first experience 20 years have passed meeting hundreds of people, helping them make their holidays more pleasurable and less stressful, and helping them visit every single historical sight in Greece. I have worked hard at trying to achieve my goal of giving people the holiday of a lifetime by helping them see the real Greece, meet the real Greek people, sample the real Greek food and take them to places where they will be the only people who speak English.

My passion is photography and along with my clients I enjoy taking photos of the historical sites we visit and the people we meet. You can view my portfolio of photos at www.panoramio.com/user/45649 a selection of them can also be seen at http://earth.google.com/. Web masters who wish to buy the right to use them in web sites or writers who want to publish them in magazines or newspapers can do this once and only under the name Nickolaos greece-private. The photos are approx 200kb (950-650 low resolution). The original size (3100-2050 high resolution) is approx 4000 to 5000 kb. and the charge is from 20 euros per photo. At the Olympic Games of 2004 in Athens I worked as a driver/guide for the biggest Japanese newspaper, the "Asahi Siboun". Transferring the Japanese journalists and photographers to ceremonies and all the main events for a month, not only in Athens but also in Olympia, Volos and Thessalonica. The work was exhausting but the experience of watching so many sports, some of them I had never seen in my life before, was unforgettable.

People usually choose tour buses. Buses cannot offer much choice because they deal in mass tourism. That is why their schedule is inflexible and usually unimaginative. They decide on what you are going to see, for how long you are going to see it and with whom (usually 50 other tourists) you will share the tour. The point of my message is: We can offer you a wonderful guided tour, in a luxuriously comfortable and climatized vehicle (a real pleasure in the summer heat!). The unknown Greece (as named by Clay Perry an internationally renowned photographer in his book Vanishing Greece) is yours for the asking either at a tavern where you can enjoy real Greek cooking, traditional workshops where you can find Greek handicrafts and of course beautiful sandy beaches off the beaten track not the usual tourist haunts.
