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 in Nafplio, one of Greece’s most historic and picturesque cities. Having grown up there, I know Nafplio intimately and enjoy sharing its rich history, hidden corners, and cultural heritage with visitors. 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.

Overview of your Nafplio tour

🔍 Why choose this exclusive 1, 5 -hour private tour? Join me, Michalis (Michael) – a certified tourist guide and active archaeologist – on a 1, 5-hour tour to the Archaeological Site and Museum of Corinth. As a member of the Greek Ministry of Culture with a Master’s in Classical Archaeology, I study how religion and politics intertwined in ancient greek sanctuaries. This perspective allows me to offer a tour that goes beyond the typical narrative, blending myth, history, and deeper meaning. This guided tour takes you through the monumental ruins of the city — from the Temple of Apollo to the Roman Forum — while following the path of the Apostle Paul as he preached to the early Christian community. Blending deep historical knowledge with spiritual context, this experience reveals the full story of Corinth: a city of gods, empires, and Αpostles.
