Hi everyone! I am Angela (or as my Greek friends call me, Aggeliki). Let me introduce myself: I am a travel and adventure lover just like you! I work in the travel industry, for a quiet few years now, and I love creating new exciting trips, tours, and above all, experiences for people from all around the world that choose to visit this amazing country called Greece. I am also an Adventure Travel Guide Standard Board Member Representing Greece since 2015.
Born and raised in the US by Greek parents, I have been living in Greece since 1992 and loving it - there is no better place to live! Sun, sea, mountains, rivers, nightlife, food, culture, people, parties, fun, and a safe environment all consist of making Greece the ideal place to live or (if you're not that fortunate), to travel to during your holidays or even for a city break!
I aim to give you a feeling of what Greece has to offer. Guidance, my recommendations on things to see and do during your stay, 'Don't Miss' tips, and plenty of other info to bear in mind before traveling or during your holidays here! Making amazing lifetime experiences for amazing people all over the world that choose Greece for their vacation, is my profession - so, let me help you experience Greece like never before through off-the-beaten-path tours and trips! Your trip will for sure be a memorable one! Get in touch!
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in each and every destination in Greece! Especially the hidden gems and the less mass tourism destinations. But even in the world famous islands, like Mykonos, Santorini and Crete, I know all the unique and authentic places to visit and see along of course with the must see and visit touristic spots. My expertise is providing unique, authentic, memorable experiences. Either you are an outdoor and adventure enthusiast, a food junkey, or a history and culture addict, or you just want to enjoy the alluring Greek blue of the beaches and islands, I've got you covered! I want to provide special moments that will for sure be the highlights of your trip. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"I always loved traveling and discovering new places. Especially the hidden gems of each destination! From the moment I remember myself as an adult, I remember getting in my car and heading for road trips! I discovered each and every corner of Greece and met amazing locals along the way! As the years past by I found myself being a travel expert of Greece! Then it hit me! I have to share this knowledge with other people! So, I found a job at a travel agency and quickly scaled my self up to being the director of the incoming travel planning department. After getting the necessary knowledge of running a travel business I decided to establish my own travel company, back in June 2018. Still sharing my local expertise and experience with the same excitement as day one! "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I once went with a group on a trip to Epirus Region. While having a walking tour in Metsovo village a took the group uphill so they can see the narrow streets and houses of the village away from the mass tourism spots. During our walk I turned my head and peaked inside a house. I saw a woman weaving on a loom and stood there and started talking to the group about how the locals use the weaving techniques and how this is part of the local culture. At that point the woman inside the house saw us and invited us inside to see the procedure up close! She showed us how it's done, she talked about how this is part of the local life and the ways they use the woven creations, and eventually sat every person of the group in the loom so they can personally experience the weaving procedure! It was an amazing experience for all of us and the people in the group were so excited and amazed by the hospitality of this local woman. It was the highlight of our trip for sure! "

We planned a trip to celebrate my nieces high school graduation. My sister, niece, daughter and myself went and we had an amazing time. Angelic was absolutely wonderful at helping g pick out what islands we should go to and offering different ideas for what tours we would do. She was very easy to deal with and prompt in her responses. All through the trip she checked in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly and offered help when we couldn’t get into our first rental. We couldn’t figure out how to open the locked box. The drivers she arranged were always on time and made us feel well taken care of. The tour guides always had our reservations and if they were private tours they came to get us from our hotels. When we had to leave to catch our flights home Angelic had already phoned the hotel to make sure they would be there at 6:15 am to help us carry our luggage(if you’ve stayed in Santorini you would understand how important that is as the steep stairs are a bit crazy when you don’t live there! The hotels are beautiful on the cliff sides.) I have no complaints about the service we received from Kim Kim and Angelic at all and would recommend it to anyone!

Although we loved everywhere we went, Naxos and Crete were probably our favorites. Can't wait to plan another trip with KimKim and hope to go back to Greece in the future to try some other islands we did not make it to and maybe revisit some. The people, the food, the landscape of Greece will be missed.
Hotel Reviews
Monastery Estate Venetian Harbor
Chania
Great location. Walkable to everything. Loved the look of the entry way and the breakfast area. We had a room with the private rooftop terrace. So nice to sit in the hot tub and see the city around us. Staff very kind. We had an early flight, so they even boxed up a breakfast for us to take with us. The breakfast was very good and had large portions.
Pnoe Breathing Life
Heraklion
Hotel had such a relaxing feel. It was so nice to have our own private pool and lounge chairs. Also very easy to take the hotel shuttle to their private beach with food and beverage service. The food at Anasa was some of the best food I had. We ate there for dinner both nights. The breakfast buffet had a ton of choices. The staff was very helpful and helped arrange transport into the city for us.
Location
Close to a few beaches, but would need to drive or take the bus to the city center and sights. But being a bigger city that is expected.
Daydream Luxury Suites
Santorini
The view is worth every penny. We had gone out to eat for the sunset view and found out that the view from here was just as stunning. Breakfast was very good and plenty. It was nice to sit in the outdoor pool and watch the people and donkeys go by on the sidewalk below. There are a lot of steps, but worth the view. The staff is great. I wouldn't want to carry that luggage and they do it as if it is nothing. Rafail, the manager, had great suggestions and was very helpful. It is centrally located to the shops, and tavernas.
Location
Perfect spot for sunsets and views.
18 Grapes Hotel Naxos
Naxos
Amazing hotel. The staff was so kind. We even did the vineyard experience with the owner, Dimitris, and met most of the family. Breakfast was very good with large portions. Everything was very clean. Loved having our own pool, but used the main pool too. The whole place was beautiful to look at. Short walk to beach and tavernas.

We loved Olga. She was so easy to talk to and felt like a friend by the end of the day. We drove through the breathtaking landscape to Elafonissi Beach, the famous pink beach. It was really cool, but maybe not as striking as in some of the pictures. We got there early and got sunbeds. It did get crowded later. Olga called ahead and found out the next beach we were going to was windy, so we stayed longer at Elafonissi. We did go on to Falasarna Beach. It was windy, but pretty. It had some pink sand too.

Nicolas was so kind and informational. He had waters and a special dessert treat for us. He did a great job of showing us some highlights of Crete. Since it was just us, he geared it to some places we wanted to see. The landscape was breathtaking as we drove from place to place. We first went to a botanical garden. Is was amazing to see all that can grow in Greece. We went to 2 monasteries (females make sure to wear something that covers your legs). We then went through a Gorge and to the village of Argioupolis. He took us to a darling taverna tucked into a hill with a waterfall. It was so pretty and the food was yummy. It was a great way to travel from Herkalion to Chania.

It was very interesting and informational, but had very outdated special effects and scenes. The wine tasing was yummy. Then we went to the Monastery, the Megalochori Village and the Black Beach. Great way to see lots of Santorini that you would not be able to see without a car.

There was so much food, we could only eat a portion of it. Maria even emailed me a digital copy of a cookbook she had written.

Last we went to a rooftop bar that had great drinks, amazing views, and a great vibe. She even gave us other ideas for the rest of our stay in Athens and for the other islands we were going to.

Hotel Reviews
This hotel is very small, but absolutely wonderful. The room was stunning, spacious and very clean. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate, even going as far as providing breakfast earlier so we could eat before our early tour. It's located at a walking distance of the Acropolis, several shops and many restaurants.
Archipelagos Hotel Mykonos
Mykonos
This hotel was beautiful and very clean. The staff were kind and welcoming. It was about a 20 minute drive from Mykonos Town and therefore there were few restaurants/shops around the hotel. The private transfers can get quite expensive to get to Mykonos town and the port and therefore we recommend renting a car if you are staying here. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay.
Stella Rocca a Mare
Imerovigli
This hotel was absolutely gorgeous. The staff were friendly and the room was beautiful and clean. It is located in Imerovigli and there is about a 15-20 minute taxi ride to Oeia (where all the shops and most of the restaurants are). Taxi/transfers can be expensive to Oeia. There were a few restaurants around this hotel in addition to the one attached to the hotel. The food was great at their restaurant. The view is stunning and while there isn't a direct view of the sunset over the water, you do see the beautiful colours of the sky over the Caldera which is breathtaking. Overall, we had a wonderful experience here.

Santorini Semi-private Morning Sailing Adventure to Volcano Cruise
Santorini
If you want A quiet cruise with a small group this is your trip. Enjoyed the views and the history. Authentic and intimate Greek meal. Attentive team. Good experience.
Quality of Experience
Could not be better for the cruise it is. Great people and quality excursion. We would have enjoyed a bigger boat with many people and more of a party. But for those who want a quiet and peaceful cruise this is perfect.
Food
Authentic and delicious.

Attentive and knowledgeable and cooked a great meal.

Activity Reviews
Athens Highlights Mythology Tour
Greece
Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. Great tour.
Cook like a Greek with a chef!
Athens
Our hosts were very friendly and the food was excellent, but we signed up for a hands on cooking class and really didn’t get to do any hands on cooking, which is what we were expecting.

Naxos Sunset Cruise
Naxos
The weather did not cooperate for this activity, which was not our boat captain’s fault, but I did feel like the tour should have been canceled since it was not conducive to swim, etc due to the weather.

Yeia sou Nicole,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. 🙂
I am really happy that I was able to assist you with the planning, and whenever needed, while you were here.
I will definitely be sharing your feedback with the cruise in Naxos and the cooking class in Athens.
What I know for sure about the cruise is that the captain closely monitors the weather, and if, for any reason, he thinks that the experience will not be a pleasant one, he will cancel.

I personally spoke with the crew there the previous day, and they reassured me that it would be OK to have the cruise. I am sorry you did not enjoy it, though.
Thank you for trusting us with your trip to Greece.
We would love to see you come back someday. 🙂
Take care and safe travels!

Angela (Aggeliki) is the ultimate professional for planning a vacation! Her communication skills are excellent and very timely. It seems no matter when we had a question she'd reply quickly. Our trip to Greece was spectacular! We had just the right amount of activities and free time each day of our 10 day trip. Her ability to customize according to our desires is unmatched for any vacation I have ever had. The accommodations, transfers, excursions, restaurants and overall advice were spot on. We visited Athens, Kalabaka, Naxos and Santorini. Many locals were impressed with our visit to Kalabaka (Meteora) because so many people visit the islands and, besides Athens, forget about the rest of the mainland. There, with the amazing driver/guide, we visited incredible monasteries, did an awesome Hermit Caves Sunset Hiking Tour and a fun truffle hunting excursion. This cool dog hunts for truffles, digs them up and brings them to its owner. This was super cool! They had a whole set up in the brush where a chef prepared a penne, mushroom, garlic, white truffle oil meal with truffle shaving from the ones "we" found! In Athens, we did a great Mythology tour, visited the Acropolis and ate incredible food. Our Aegean Lush Bike tour in Naxos was such a blast! We rode electric bikes and toured all over this fantastic island which is largely self sustaining. That evening we had an amazing tour of old town Naxos and ate phenomenal food. On day 2 in Naxos, our private cruise was so cool! We visited Antiparos and Paros and our guide was so nice and informative, as all of guides were. In Santorini, we experienced an awesome sunset kayaking tour of the coastline. Our guide was simply astounding! Finally, our 8 hour tour of Santorini was so fun and we learned so much! All in all, this was our favorite vacation ever! We have been many places. In hindsight, it was Angela's skillful set up that made it so amazing! Greece is a special place with wonderful people and even better food! Angela lives there and is the premiere travel guide for anyone who is planning to visit Greece!
