Tour guide in Athens Katerina A.

Hi! I am Katerina, an archaeologist and licensed tour guide in Greece. Fancy for fun and educational guided tours? I am always ready to share with all of you Happy Tour Moments. So, come along! It was said by Heraclitus and explains how I feel about life in general; «τα πάντα ῥεῖ» (ta panta rhei) "everything flows". I was born and raised in Piraeus, the great port of Athens from Antiquity till nowadays. I took my first degree in History and Archaeology with specialisation in Archaeology and History of Arts from the NCUA, University of Athens. I continued with my studies in the UK where I obtained my MSc in Archaeological Computing from the University of Southampton. My dissertation "An INTRA-SITE analysis of the architectural structure of the Bronze Age settlement of Akrotiri" arranges space in the hope of identifying a more accurate sing of people's movements to and within of its one of the three chosen different edifices of this unique prehistoric settlement of Santorini. Since the completion of my MSc, I have been working for the last 14 years as a filed archaeologist in Athens and all over Greece. I have also taken part in a three years project where I was responsible for creating educational programs and writing books, focused on local history and culture of four chosen greek regions; Nafplion, Volos, Heraklion and the small farm-settlement of Zakros. In 2015 I obtained the official diploma of Licensed Tour Guide and since then I am also tour guiding in English, Greek (mother language), and soon in French too. I love meeting and interacting with new people who choose my country as their holiday destination, and sharing with them my enthusiasm for greek culture, local traditions & nature. I somehow feel that my entire professional career led me to this point and my experience as a licensed tour guide is very fulfilling. My knowledge and expertise in Archaeology & Educational Programs gives me the opportunity to provide accurate information and create enjoyable guided experiences for every occasion, always adjusted to the age and the interest of my clients. I believe that the landscape and the climate have a great impact in the formation of the past societies and I tend to present every site, region, monument in association with its topography, historical events & myths. My main goal is to shed light on the living conditions, needs, fears and expectations of the ancient people, while I am trying to compare and connect them with the contemporary ones. You could join me in a guided tour in Athens or elsewhere in Greece upon request (the earlier you give me your notice the better I respond to your requests). Enjoy life, be well . . . and never forget that "everything flows" !!! *Licensed Tour Guide (as a certified guide since 2015 by the Ministry of Tourism, I'm accredited in all museums and archaeological sites of the country) *Archaeologist Bachelor's Degree in History and Archaeology (NCUA, Athens) Master of Science in Computing Archaeology (Southampton University, UK) I am not a driver.
