My name is Anastasia and I am an archeologist, an art historian, and a licensed tour guide since 2014. My working languages are English, Italian, and Greek. I was born and raised in Athens where I took also my first degree in Greek Archeology and History of Art at the University of Athens. Later I moved abroad for postgraduate studies in Italian Art history In Warwick-England, Glasgow-Scotland, and Fribourg- Switzerland. Therefore I lived for a prolonged time in other European cities mostly in England, Scotland, and Italy. I've also worked in different positions in the history of Art ( various museums, art galleries, and institutions like the Fondazione Cini in Venice) as an archeologist in the American School for Classical Studies in Athens and as a lecturer in different educational institutes. I consider myself a citizen of the world and I do enjoy bringing people together and immersing them in the beauty and culture of my country. Art history is my passion and I am a keen reader and traveler. Apart from art history, I love cinema, photography, fashion, and most of all wine since I am a certified expert in wine having a set 3rd level in Wine and Spirits I do believe that the world of Wine is inspirational and fascinating. Therefore the range of my tours varies. I organize and offer archeological and art-historical tours in all the big museums and archeological sites, wine tours, and wine tastings for wine lovers. I also provide tailor-made tours that match my visitors' interests and passions. I believe that Culture, Wine, and Travel bring people together and two of my favorite quotes are "The world is my oyster" and "The world is a book, and those that do not travel read only a page. 1.

Visit in the National Archeological Museum-Walking tour
Overview of your Athens tour
"It is impossible to free oneself from the past if one refuses to release the past itself, giving it back to the future", Christian Zervos, L'art de la Crete neolithique e minoenne, 1956. The National Archeological Museum is the oldest in Greece. It was inaugurated in 1867 and houses different Greek artifacts (about 11. 000 exhibits) that were brought to light during different excavations all over Greece. It is therefore the cradle of ancient Greek Art, a necessary and illuminating visit for anyone who wants to get cognizance and to deepen his knowledge of the evolution of Greek Art from the prehistoric period to the Roman times. The navigation of the museum is in chronological order providing the visitor a great retrospective experience of the sculptural and pottery production through the ages.
Your Athens tour itinerary
On our tour, we will have the chance to admire great works of Art such as: the Mask of Agamemnon the Sounion Kouros The Frasikleia Kore The Zeus or Poseidon of Artemision the Diadoumenos of Polykleitos the Ephebes of Antikythira the Jockey of Artemision. But apart from understanding the evolution of Greek Art, we will also try to discover the influence of antiquity on various aspects of modern and contemporary art. We will try to see what a Cycladic idol and a statue of Giacometti or a modern sculpture of Brancusi have in common. How an ancient funerary stelae influenced modern Greek art (Moralis and Tsarouchis) and how the great classical art was rediscovered in the courtyard of the Lorenzo Medici in Florence leading to masterpieces like David of Michelangelo and later to the Neoclassical style of the 19th century Antonio Canova.
