I am dying to get back to Greece. My last trip was the summer that Anthony Bourdain died. I was actually having a delicious lunch of grilled fish in Koufonisia when I got the news. I broke down in tears and the staff didn’t know what to do with me. (Koufonisia is just a short ferry hop from Naxos, and Naxos is just a short ferry ride from Mykonos.) I have so much already planned for next year that I don’t think I can fit Greece in, but one of these days, I will go back!! I’ve been three times already and really it never gets boring for me. In the meantime, let me help you plan your next trip to Greece. Reach out for a complimentary vacation consultation here.

There are so many ways I can help you plan an amazing Greek vacation. Hotels and cruises are just the beginning! Here are some different ways I can help you…

Let Me VIP You at a 5 Star Hotel in Greece

If you’re planning a trip to Greece and just need a hotel booking, let me VIP you! Check out these Virtuoso properties in Greece. By booking one of these hotels through me, you’ll get extra amenities like breakfast for two, a hotel credit, upgrades, and more. I can also VIP you at most Marriott, Hilton, IHG and other large hotel chain 5 star properties in Greece and elsewhere!

One of Windstar’s Tall-Masted Sailing Ships

Tall Ship Sailing with Windstar

This 11 day Gecian Treasures cruise starts in Athens and visits Mykonos, Patmos, Santorini and more. I really love Windstar…the tall-masted sailing ships are real scene-stealers. If I can get someone to keep an eye on my mom in January, there’s a chance I may escape on a Windstar cruise early next year!

Rent a Villa in Greece

Yes, I can help you rent your dream villa in Greece. These are all vetted properties with a management team and all the amenities you can imagine — private chefs, housekeeping, drivers. You name it, I’ve got it for you. So much better than the unpredictable nature of Airbnb with their non-standard cleaning processes. (Ask me about the time I worked for an Airbnb property manager in London.)

Small Ship Greek Island Hopping with Azamara

Don’t overlook the luxury cruise lines. Once you add in all the tours on the more mass-market cruise lines, you may find that a luxury cruise line isn’t that much more expensive. I love this 12 day Greece Intensive Voyage on Azamara, but I’ve also got great relationships with Silversea, Seabourn, Regent, and Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection.

Sail with a Local Greek-Owned Cruise Line

I prefer to advise based on cruise features and not price, but I work with this one local cruise line in Greece that provides a really great, personal experience at a very attractive price point. Because they are Greek-owned and Greek-run, they have access to all sorts of amazing local experiences. This is a great family-friendly option. If you’re interested, set up some time to chat with me!

Take a Land & Ferry Group Tour of Greece

I have so many partners that offer great land tours of Greece. “Land” is a bit of a misnomer as you will be taking public ferries to get from one island to the next. Ferries are a very normal part of life in Greece. You’ll get a chance to feel more like a local. But you’ll definitely want to pack light because getting on and off ferries in Greece is no joke! Here’s an example group tour of Greece. Group tours are usually cost-effective ways to experience Greece. Many of the tour companies build in downtime so you will have plenty of time to do your own thing.

Take a Private Luxury Tour of Greece

This is what I do best…private luxury itineraries, taking you to all the islands you’ve ever wanted to see. First class. The best hotels. The best guides. Here’s one pre-packaged example but I can customize anything to meet your needs.

Rent a Yacht in Greece

Yes, I can help you rent a yacht in Greece! If you’ve always wanted to skipper your own boat — or perhaps you want to hire both a skipper and a yacht — I can help you do that! If this option sounds intriguing, we should definitely chat!

There are so many amazing ways to experience Greece. And there’s so much more to Greece than Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini. Let me help you select the option that that works best for you! Book a complimentary vacation consultation here.
