Greece is often described as a feeling and each person who visits finds their own personalized one that they carry with them for life.

There is no better way to discover this unique sensation than through a carefully curated journey. I take the time to learn who my clients are before determining where they'll be happiest, ensuring a personalized and meaningful experience.

Here's a quick glimpse for you to have in the meantime while your dreaming of your next Greek holiday! If you're a....

FOODIE- Crete

Crete is a feeling, a taste, a gastro immersion all its own with incredibly flavorful dishes just about anywhere you go. Creating meals with the freshest of local ingredients is a consistent high priority and you’re likely to find combinations of vegetables, meats and rich sauces you’ve never tasted in your life but you’ll easily fall in love with. Pair this with beautiful beaches and seemingly endless villages to stroll through and mountains to hike to keep you fit and you’ve got a beautiful balance.

JET-SETTING NIGHTLIFE LOVER- Mykonos

If you’re looking for an endless party paired with pulsating beats and divine cocktails that generally end when the sun comes up, Mykonos is your wish come true. Its thriving scene of lively bars, beach clubs that run day and night, and luxury hotels cater to those seeking a more glam experience.

WINE ENTHUSIAST- Naxos

OK, so it’s got its own delicious and seemly hidden food scene here but it is also an amazing place to immerse in indulgent tastings. According to Greek mythology, Dionysys, the God of Wine was born here and today it’s a rich center of wine production and of course plenty of beaches and mountain villages to stroll through.

SEEKER OF LONGEVITY- Ikaria

It’s one of the world’s Blue Zones and here, the sole focus of its residents is family at the core. Ikarians live long, maintain mental clarity and rarely acquire chronic diseases- instead, they indulge in red wine and rich traditional dishes, daytime naps, they ignore clocks and spend time outside in the fresh sea air. Maybe they’re really on to something?

ROMANTIC AT HEART-Santorini

Alright, it also is a haven for those that are social media-obsessed but it’s difficult not to be here where the dramatic cliffs spill over into the sea, where the hills are rich with whitewashed homes and hotels dotted with deep blue infinity pools, and where the scenes in its most robust villages tend to sizzle both day and night.

NATURE LOVER- Kythira

Such a well kept secret hidden in plain sight… though not heavily visited, those that journey here are treated to impossibly rich verdant landscapes, craggy hills, magical waterfalls, and beautiful quiet beaches.

DAYTRIPPER- Hydra

If you’ve only got a short time, hop a quick ferry from Athens and spend the day here- it feels like a movie set if someone wanted to capture the feel of a quintessential Greek island. Picture no cars and no traffic, just a welcoming promenade of lively cafes and tavernas when you arrive and quiet streets lined with boutiques and curious shops to wind through along with adorable hotel discoveries hidden amongst homes.

INSTAGRAMMER- Milos

Beauty. Just stark beauty. A place where stark jagged white limestone cliffs break at the cerulean sea and that’s just the beginning. This island has a rich ecosystem that contributes to its natural beauty and with an array of charming boutique properties and low key pace of life, it is an ideal choice for those that want to capture the amazing.

FAMILY TRAVELER- Paros

A delightfully less-crowded scene exists here where sun-splashed white homes with brilliant blue domes frame narrow streets filled with magenta bougainvillea and plenty of golden beaches and quiet calm coves to explore. Beyond its historical landmarks, there are also plenty of activities here to keep kids engaged from cave explorations to a butterfly nature reserve.
