What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in creating customized travel experiences throughout Greece, with a focus on island hopping, cultural immersion, and authentic local activities. My expertise includes iconic destinations like Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, and my hometown Thessaloniki, as well as hidden gems such as Naxos, Paros, and the Peloponnese.
I design activities that cater to diverse interests, including historical and archaeological tours, culinary experiences like wine tastings and cooking classes, outdoor adventures such as hiking and sailing, and relaxing beach escapes. My familiarity with these destinations allows me to craft authentic, personalized experiences that showcase the best of Greece."

How did you get involved in travel?

"Travel has always been a part of my life. My passion for exploration was ignited at a young age, leading me to volunteer tourism, where I connected with people and cultures across Europe and Canada. These experiences opened my eyes to the transformative power of travel.
Working in the hospitality industry across Greece and Cyprus deepened my understanding of what makes a trip truly memorable. Over time, I realized my calling was not just to be a part of travel but to create it—crafting personalized journeys that allow others to experience the beauty, culture, and magic of Greece as I have. That realization led me to pursue travel design, where I combine my passion with my expertise to curate unforgettable experiences."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"A unique travel experience I will never forget was my journey to Egypt. Exploring the breathtaking archaeological sites, from the Pyramids of Giza to the temples of Luxor and Karnak, was like stepping back in time. The highlight, however, was a serene cruise along the Nile River, soaking in the history and beauty of the landscapes that have inspired countless stories. It was truly a dream come true, blending adventure, culture, and the timeless wonder of one of the world’s most iconic destinations."
