Tour guide in Olympia Michael P.

Hello, and welcome to my Profile! With a background rooted in Classical Archaeology (ancient Greece and Rome) and Cultural Resources Management, I am a Licensed Tourist Guide and active Archaeologist, working on excavations for the Greek Ministry of Culture in Peloponnese. I hold a master’s degree in Classical Archaeology, with my thesis focusing on ancient Greek sanctuaries as dynamic spaces where religion and politics intersected. This research has given me a unique perspective that allows me to present Ancient Olympia in an original and engaging way, bringing to life the history of its monuments and the legacy of the Olympic Games for visitors. My expertise lies in uncovering the stories of ancient Greece and translating complex archaeological insights into engaging, accessible experiences that connect visitors with cultural heritage on a deep level. In addition to Olympia, I also offer guided tours to some of the most important sites in the Peloponnese, including Corinth, Nemea, Mycenae, Nafplio and Epidaurus. My goal is to bring Greece’s rich history, mythology, and cultural heritage to life through engaging and memorable experiences. As a Licensed Guide, I have had the privilege of leading tours for distinguished guests in Olympia, including Prince Albert ΙΙ of Monaco and Prince Faisal bin Al Hussein of Jordan. From leading immersive tours to advising on conservation strategies, I thrive at the intersection of education, preservation, and experience.
