KACHTITSI PENELOPE

Profile

Born in Athens I did my school studies in a French school and studied French Literature at the Capodistrian University of Athens. In parallel to French I started learning English since an early age, as well as lyrical singing. I went on with my studies in Brussels, Belgium, where in 1998 I did in French and English a Masters Degree in International Relations at Center of International Research and Strategy at ULB. Later at the same University I did a second Masters in European Studies in the European Studies Institute within the ULB (Université Libre de Bruxelles), while working at the European Parliament and the Permanent Representation to the EU.
During my permanence in Brussels I often visited Paris for artistic exhibitions as well as to attend lyrical singing master classes.

After some years of work in Athens in 2003 I went to Rome, Italy to study opera and I also took lessons of dancing and acting in Italian. During my four and half years of permanence there I worked for three different UN Institutions in French- English- Italian.

After a short permanence in London on summer 2008 in the Chinese SOHO area to attend dance classes at the Pineapple summer camp I got attracted to the Chinese culture and watching the rise of the Chinese economy I decided to start learning Mandarin in Athens. In 2010 I went to Beijing for four years, first to Beijing to study at the “ Běijīng yǔyán dàxué” = Beijing Language Culture University, and then I went to Shanghai to study Business Mandarin at the «Huádōng shīfàn dàxué» = Eastern China Normal University. During my staying in China I participated to Chinese music and theater productions as well as cinema.
After my return to Greece in 2014 my interest for History, Archeology and Art led me to the Greek Tourism Ministry official TourGuides School, where I studied for two years and I graduated in 2019. I had the chance to meet there some interesting people with international background.

In winter 2024-25 I took a winter course in London with Singing- Acting- Dancing classes for Musical Theater at the City Academy Drama school, the Manor and the Pineapple, as well as I participated to Musical improvisation shows organized by theatrical associations

The Acropolis Citadel and its museum, the Ancient Agora, the Roman and Athens Agora, the Byzantine and Othoman monuments in Athens, the Sounion cape, Mycenae, Epidaurus, Delos-Myconos, Delphi, Meteora and Olympia are only a few among the dozens of archeological sites where I often give guided tours, as well as in northern Greece and on the Islands. I undertake school tours, companies’ events tours, religious tours as well as specific interest focused tours all over Greece.

I live in Athens and I guide in English – French – Italian – Chinese – Greek.
