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.
