About Angeliki
I'm from the island of Corfu but lived many years of my adult life in Athens, where I studied History and Archaeology. My journey brought me to different places in Greece and abroad to excavate in archaeological digs, and lead me to become a tour guide, travelling with various groups around Greece, sharing with them the rich history and culture. I met my future husband in the National and Archaeological Museum in Athens, and I currently live in Germany, where I continue my journey of discovery and knowledge. Language is one of my passions too, and I am fascinated by learning new languages but also teaching Greek to foreign students.
