Hi, I am Antonis
I’m a true Athenian, born and raised in this city that boasts an unbroken history spanning over 3,000 years. Growing up, I found myself endlessly enchanted by the captivating tales of Greek Mythology and utterly fascinated by the enduring legacy of Ancient Greece, symbolized by its magnificent landmarks and monuments.
What makes my connection to Greece even more profound is my family’s origin, deeply rooted in the historic grounds of Thermopylae. It was here that the legendary battle unfolded, where King Leonidas and his valiant 300 Spartans faced off against the formidable Persian army. This epic tale is not just a piece of history for me; it’s an integral part of my heritage, something I carry with immense pride.
For more than two decades now, I’ve been on a remarkable journey of my own, one where I meticulously design tailor-made trips to Greece for travelers hailing from all corners of the globe. It’s been a privilege beyond measure to share the wonders of my homeland with people from diverse backgrounds, forging meaningful connections and lasting friendships in the process.

How did you get involved in travel?
“When I was just 17, I secured my very first summer job at Athens airport, delving into the realm of airline representation. It didn’t take long for me to become captivated by the enchanting universe of airports and the bustling world of commercial aviation. Through this firsthand experience, I was privileged to witness the allure of travel in all its glory.”
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
“At the tender age of 13, I embarked on a 40-day road trip across the Greek mainland with my family. It was a journey filled with intrigue, as I was constantly enthralled by the uncertainty of our next destination and the exciting possibilities each new day held.”

FAQs
Greece is considered one of the safest destination countries in the world. Travelers are, of course, advised to use the normal precautions that they would in any other European country.
Your children can really have the time of their lives here. Smiley faces and hospitality, family warmth and peace, security, untouched nature, and magnificent food give a unique combination, making Greece the number one family destination worldwide. Either way, mums and dads, be prepared to relax and have a good time in a country where everyone, young and old is a kid!
Greece is a European Union member; euros have been the official currency of Greece since 2001. Having some euros in your pocket when you arrive can give you peace of mind for the start of your trip. Banks will have the best exchange rates but your best bet in getting local currency is to use your debit card via ATMs located everywhere throughout Greece.
Although the official language is Greek, a large majority of people in the tourist industry speak English. English is also part of the standard school curriculum, therefore, most Greek’s will have a good command of the English language as well as a few other languages as well (ex. French, German, Italian, etc).
Greek is a particularly difficult language to pick up, so no one will be upset if you do not speak any Greek. Greeks are friendly people who are always eager to help and love it when they hear a stranger speaking their language. So, when planning your trip to Greece, try to learn a few common Greek words like ‘please’ (parakalo), ‘thank you’ (efharisto) and ‘hello’ (yasou) and you will get a favorable response as you try to communicate with the locals.
Street signs in the cities are typically bilingual, but if you’re heading further afield, it’s worth learning the Greek alphabet as well, to help you navigate.
Greece is a Member-State of the European Union, and has signed the Schengen Agreement. While traveling within the E.U., you only need your Identity card. However, a passport is necessary for a number of other transactions, such as currency exchange, purchases, etc.
Visas are not required by European citizens from countries that are part of the Schengen Area. Greece as a member of the Schengen Agreement, has abolished controls on common internal lands, at air and sea borders and allows Member-State citizens to travel around without a visa for a short stay period of up to three (3) months. However, keep in mind that airlines and other carriers require a valid passport and/or identity card.
Citizens coming from countries that have not yet joined the Schengen Area may require a visa to enter Greece. The E.U. visitors from these countries can acquire further information from the Hellenic Embassies or Consulates in their countries, or from their travel agencies. Before visiting Greece, please consult the detailed information on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ website and find out whether you require a Visa.
