When I was a child, I used to spend all my vacation in ancient Olympia, my mother’s homeplace. Τhe usual and immediate visual and physical contact with these antiquities had a huge impact on me. From the very first moment, inquiries such as “what’s this”, “when”, why”, gave birth to my continuous thirst of knowledge, regarding Greek history and archaeology. Therefore, I studied History, Archaeology and History of Art in the University of Athens. I worked as an archaeologist for a couple of years and in 2014, I obtained the Tourist Guide Licence, doing what I always did with friends and visitors: transmitting knowledge and offering first-hand experience. Specifically, I have worked systematically as a tour guide in Olympia, Athens and for 4 years, in the beautiful islands of Kos and Nissyros, in the Dodecanese region. What do I offer? Some really special guided tours of Athens and wider region of Attiki. Understanding the importance of ancient Athens and the impact to modern western society, but also unfolding medieval, ottoman, jewish and modern parts of history, ’cause Athens is, above all, a mosaic of civilizations.
