Theano Adamopoulou

I was born in Athens and raised in the shadow of Ancient Messene. I trained at EPHE en Sorbonne in Paris, earned my DEA in Archaeology and Art History, and worked at the Centre Pompidou. Today, I'm a University of the Peloponnese PhD Candidate.

But I don't recite dates from a textbook. I tell stories – of goddesses, warriors, Byzantine emperors, and the first Olympic athletes. As a musician and archaeologist, I bring a unique rhythm to every tour. Whether in English, French, or Greek, you'll experience the Peloponnese through the eyes of a local scholar who has walked these paths for decades.

"Let me show you the Greece that tour buses miss."
