"Greeking me" = To make me feel like a Greek for a while.

(Of course you won't find this term in a dictionary!)

Our country, Greece, has been in the center of worldwide interest during the last year. The financial crisis is a huge daily obstacle for many people and unemployment hits more and more Greeks, especially the younger ones.
Greeking.me is actually an effort by two young enterpreneurs, that strive to make a difference and build a sustainable venture in Greece. We have faith in our abilities & the potential of the project and remain optimistic about the success of our effort.


But first things first. Let us introduce.
In the last few years, the number of people who visited Greece in order to get a close look at its beauties, history and cultural background has increased. Undoubtedly, there is a great need for quality, innovative and reliable touristic services.

Greeking.me is providing fun, interactive experiences through which people will get to know the real greek culture in an authentic way. Our city, Athens, is a vibrant place, full of contrasts and secrets. Our goal is for you to explore Athens like a local through hands-on, personalized experiences.

The whole idea is based on activities that everyone loves; exploring, cooking, dancing & having fun! Our services address to explorers and visitors who want to feel the real Greek vibe, avoiding the tourist traps.


1.  Quality: All our services are carefully designed in order to offer you an experience of exceptional value. It is our aim to create for you unique, memorable experiences.

2. Authenticity: Our daily mission is to offer you experiences that exceed your expectations. Through our tours and workshops, you will explore the authentic character of the city through the eyes of a local.

3. Excellence: We are committed to being a high performance tourism agency by staying focused on total customer satisfaction. We continuously improve our processes and ourselves in order to offer you the best service.

4. Customer-focused: It is our aim to provide the highest level of customer service. We treat each customer as a friend, building a personal relationship with him.

Α few monhs ago, we decided to share our venture with the Indiegogo community, hoping to find support for our new beggining. You see, economy in Greece is exactly what it looks like. Building a company from scratch is a big, scary adventure, involving lots of difficulties and expenses. The annual taxation rate for a small business is 26% of the total profit, while you are also obliged to pay in advance a 50 % tax rate of the next year -not to mention the endless bureaucracy and the unfriendly financial environment.
Despite all these facts, though, we remain optimistic and feel certain that our idea will offer a great value to anyone who wishes to discover the authentic local life in Athens.
This is why we need your support; if we cover our first year expenses with the help of your contribution, we will be able to pay all the taxes, fees & payments that are necessary in order to fully operate our business. We begin now, we begin from scratch & we trust that your help combined with our work will bring to life an exciting new venture in the tourism market of Greece.

By supporting us:
  • You support Greek economy by giving jobs to Greek people. Unemployment is the #1 problem of our country.
  • You help us inspire young Greeks to make their efforts in their own country, instead of leaving Greece. Crowdfunding is a really great way to kick-off your own venture, so let's inspire more people to use it.
  • You help us create an outgoing sustainable business model that will create even more jobs in the future. Our vision is to expand Greeking.me in more cities and islands in Greece.
  • Travelers from all over the world will have the chance to come closer to Greek culture through personalized, fun & authentic experiences.

For the launching of Greeking.me, we need $15,000.

Our experiences are fun, personalized and authentic aiming to differ from the ordinary tourism services.
