Christiana holds a BA in Political Science and History from Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences in Athens and an MSc in Communication. She also holds a Minor in Arts Management and Communication from the Sorbonne University of Paris. She is the granddaughter of one of the most important philatelists and art collectors of Athens. Thanks to her grandfather, she was raised inside the most important Athenian museums and galleries since she was a little kid. This kind of upbringing could not go to waste with her evolving to become an artist and art lover herself besides her relative academic studies. She describes herself as “eternally in love with Athens” and she never ceases to look past the ordinary. She says that Athens is a city so interesting that has something new to teach her everyday. A spread out museum that you have to discover with the help of a real expert and Athenian. The reason why she loves this job is thanks to her guests, that every time help her see Athens with fresh eyes. And, as always, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
