Yassu! I'm Selina.

I am an archaeologist, historian, museologist, and licensed tourist guide. 

Join me as we unravel the fascinating threads of history, archaeology, and cultural heritage of the enchanting island of Ikaria and beyond!

In Greek, my name ‘Selina’ means “full moon”.

I was born and bred in Ikaria, one of the most unique islands in Greece. Ikaria has instilled in me a deep love for nature and the sea.

With a Swiss mom and an Ikarian dad, I have mastered several languages such as Greek, Swiss, German, and English. 

I am punctual like a proper Swiss and dance and have fun like a true Greek!

I am an archaeologist, historian, museologist, and licensed tourist guide.

I am thrilled to immerse you in the wonderful world of culture and history in a fun and interactive way!

My academic background

  • Following the successful completion of my final exams in Ikaria, I was accepted into the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens to study History and Archaeology.
  • Winning a scholarship, I continued my studies at the University of Zurich in Switzerland, focusing on History and Classical Archaeology. I earned degrees in both fields while taking part in excavations and archaeological research in Greece and internationally.
  • My passion for exploration led me to join an exchange program at the University of Hamburg (UHH) in Germany, where I spent six months as a guest student.
  • Returning to Greece, I was eager to promote the culture of Ikaria. I pursued a Master’s degree in Cultural Informatics and Communication at the University of the Aegean in Lesvos, specialising in Museology.
  • To integrate my knowledge, I trained as a Licensed Guide at the state-operated School of Guides in Rhodes, completing rigorous training.
  • Now, with a rich tapestry of education and exploration, I am thrilled to guide you through the fascinating threads of history, archaeology, and cultural heritage of Ikaria as well as the rest of Greece!

Why should you join me on a tour?

  • I won’t just provide insights into Greek history and culture; I will highlight meaningful connections between the past and the present, enriching your experience.
  • Being binational, I specialize in bridging cultural gaps and fostering deeper understanding across diverse backgrounds.
  • As a certified legal guide, I prioritize professionalism and expertise. Just as you wouldn’t trust a so-called doctor, teacher, or driver, why entrust your time to someone without proper licensing?
  • Your experience matters to me. I prioritize your needs and interests, striving to deliver not just a tour, but a unique and authentic immersion into the essence of my country.
  • In other words, I will become your trusted companion in Greece, offering insights, answering questions, and providing the best local tips. I aim to be the person you know best during your visit, a reliable friend guiding you through your Greek adventure.
