About Tour Guide Elena A.

Hi everyone! I am Elena and I will be more than happy to offer you my insights into ancient Olympia, Katakolon and their surroundings. I am a certified tourist guide by the Greek Ministry of Tourism and speak fluent English, Spanish and Greek.

My studies in Archaeology and the deep love for my area, Olympia, will be your inside guide!

I was born and raised in a suburb of Athens; however, my roots are from a small mountainous village close to Ancient Olympia; Tripotamia. This was the place where I spent most of my summers when I was little, listening to my grandparents’ fascinating stories about ancient Olympia and the surrounding areas. No wonder i studied archaeology!

Since 2007, i live in ancient Olympia. There, I design and offer my own private tours and activities, focused on the fascinating history of ancient Olympia and the Olympic Games.

Together, we will explore the Olympic site and see where the Olympic torch is lit. We will visit the original Olympic stadium and run the Olympic track! Young children will make their own olive wreaths and crown themselves Olympic victors! Finally we will stand on the grounds of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the statue of Zeus.

So, Put on your comfy shoes and come along on a trip back in time!
