Marianna Loupou

I’m a travel specialist with a genuine love for creating one-of-a-kind experiences that feel just right for each traveler. My journey in the travel world has taken me through many exciting paths, from working as cabin crew in the UK to front office roles in luxury hotels, and every step has taught me what great service and unforgettable travel truly mean! Coming back home to Greece helped me discover where my heart really is: in designing meaningful, personalized trips that bring people joy. I take pride in getting to know my clients, understanding what makes them tick, and crafting journeys that are as unique as they are. With local insight, a careful eye for detail, and a whole lot of heart, I’m here to make sure your next adventure is seamless, special, and completely your own!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in crafting unforgettable experiences across the Greek Islands as well as the often-overlooked, yet equally stunning Greek mainland, Italy, and other beautiful Mediterranean destinations. Whether it’s a dreamy honeymoon, a special anniversary getaway, a foodie-focused adventure, a fun-filled family holiday, or a group trip with friends of all ages - I love designing trips that bring people together and celebrate life’s special moments."

How did you get involved in travel?

"Travel has always been my dream — even as a child, I was fascinated by the idea of exploring the world, which is what ultimately led me to move away and step outside of my comfort zone. It's truly amazing to finally discover your passion in life and to get to spend every day sharing it with people from across the world who share the same wanderlust you do - and taking pride in knowing you helped them have the trip of a lifetime!"

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"My most unique trip to date was to the Seychelles, where I explored jungles more majestic and imposing than anything I had ever seen. I swam in waters that were stunning, though very different from the ones I’m used to as a Greek, tasted fruits and flavors I never knew existed, and met some of the loveliest people. Their warmth and hospitality made me feel completely at home, even though I was continents away."

Insider Athens planned an amazing 2-week trip to Greece for my husband and me! They provided a custom itinerary that met our exact interests and priorities, including having tours and activities focused on history, mythology, culture, and food. They also removed the typical friction and stress associated with travel by selecting great hotels, providing restaurant recommendations, and setting up transportation. They provided great information on places to check out including common sites and lesser known spots. They also developed an itinerary that had many great activities, but wasn't overly packed so were able to enjoy ourselves and relax a bit.

A few of our highlights were a private tour of the Acropolis and Parthenon, a private tour of the Palace of Knossos, a food tour in Chania, and walking around Athens on our first day and just experiencing how the modern and ancient co-exist.

Our trip included about 5 days in Athens, 5 days in Crete, and a 4-day mainland tour. We had originally looked for small group tours but did not find an option that fit our priorities. Insider Athens developed a custom itinerary that led to an amazing vacation. Thank you to Marianna for all your help in planning and providing real-time support when we were in Greece!

The guides were all very knowledgeable and friendly. Yiannis was excellent and was a fine companion. He made everything so easy for me. There was so much to see in a short time and the schedule made it possible to see all of the sights I wished for. The accommodations were excellent. I hope to come back some day and see more of your beautiful country! Read more
