Archeology has always fascinated me. How did you get into it?
Well, as a Greek (and an Athenian in particular), I was raised in an environment full of antiquities. I still remember the first time I visited Acropolis and the Parthenon with my elementary school. I was speechless!
It was therefore only natural to start having dreams of being an archaeologist. Although it was only many years laters that I decided to follow this path.
