Nemea with an Archaeologist: The Sanctuary of Zeus and the Nemean Games

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 the Peloponnese. I hold a Master’s degree in Classical Archaeology, with my research focusing on ancient Greek sanctuaries as dynamic spaces where religion and politics intersected. This academic background 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 fascinating legacy of the Olympic Games. My expertise lies in uncovering the stories of ancient Greece and translating archaeological knowledge into engaging and accessible experiences that connect visitors with Greece’s cultural heritage on a deeper level. In addition to Olympia, I offer guided tours to some of the most important archaeological and historical sites of the Peloponnese, including Corinth, Nemea, Mycenae, Nafplio, and Epidaurus. I also collaborate with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, leading cultural and archaeological tours across destinations in the Eastern Mediterranean. Throughout my career as a Licensed Guide, I have had the privilege of guiding distinguished guests in Olympia, including Prince Albert II of Monaco and Prince Faisal bin Al Hussein of Jordan. For me, guiding is about more than sharing historical facts. It is about bringing the ancient world to life through archaeology, history, mythology, and the stories of the people who shaped it. Are you ready to discover Greece and experience its fascinating past together? I would be delighted to be your guide!
