Before COVID, I used to organize both group and private trips to Greece—a journey that began from my deep love for my homeland and the joy I felt helping others experience Greece in a relaxed, beautiful, and authentic way. Over the years, I had the privilege of guiding many unforgettable trips… until the pandemic arrived, followed closely by my back-to-back pregnancies, and everything had to pause for a while.
But the story actually began long before that.
It was the summer of 2012. I was visiting my family in Crete when a few friends asked me to help plan their vacation. They had only 14 days—including travel—and I remember thinking, How can they possibly experience Crete the right way in such a short time?
Somehow, everything came together effortlessly.
In just seven days, we explored nearly 90% of the island—something that normally takes about twenty. We even managed to slip in a visit to Santorini and Athens. That trip became the spark I never expected. It opened the door to what would soon grow into my passion project: creating meaningful, memorable travel experiences for others in the place I call home.
