"Journalism cannot be silent; maybe this is its biggest mistake", says Fotini Psychidou, the heart and soul of DFU Walking Tours, and we have no reason to doubt her since after her 18 years of experience as a journalist in one of the most extensive television networks in Greece, gossiping about everything and everyone alive.... realised that what she always wanted was to gossip about everyone and everything in a grassy place. So she moved back to her hometown and began to draw and build through her fascinating research (in the State General Archives, old newspapers and magazines, articles, books and diaries) the details of a historic lifestyle that makes a difference.
