Greece Travel Agent Expert

the Greek Islands is like entering a realm of myth and beauty, where azure waters meet sun-drenched shores, and whitewashed villages cling to rugged cliffsides. My trip to these enchanting islands was a blissful odyssey through a paradise that seemed straight out of a postcard.Setting sail from Athens, my adventure began with a ferry ride across the Aegean Sea, the gentle waves carrying me towards the promise of sun-soaked beaches and crystal-clear waters. As the islands came into view, I was greeted by a kaleidoscope of colors – from the vibrant blue of the sea to the dazzling white of the Cycladic architecture.My first stop was Santorini, perhaps the most iconic of all the Greek Islands. Arriving in the picturesque village of Oia, I was immediately captivated by its charm – narrow cobblestone streets lined with bougainvillea-draped buildings, panoramic views of the caldera, and fiery sunsets that painted the sky in shades of pink and gold.Exploring the island, I discovered hidden treasures at every turn – from the ancient ruins of Akrotiri, a Minoan settlement preserved beneath layers of volcanic ash, to the black sand beaches of Perissa and Kamari. Snorkeling in the crystalline waters of the Aegean, I swam among schools of colorful fish and explored underwater caves and rock formations.Continuing my journey, I island-hopped to Mykonos, known for its vibrant nightlife and cosmopolitan vibe. Exploring the labyrinthine streets of Mykonos Town, I stumbled upon chic boutiques, trendy bars, and charming cafes tucked away in hidden corners. By day, I lounged on sun-drenched beaches like Paradise and Super Paradise, where the sound of the waves mingled with the laughter of fellow travelers.From Mykonos, I ventured to the serene island of Crete, the largest of the Greek Islands and steeped in myth and legend. Exploring the ancient ruins of Knossos, I marveled at the remnants of Europe's oldest civilization – from the grand palace of King Minos to the mysterious labyrinth of the Minotaur.But it was the simple pleasures of island life that truly captured my heart – savoring freshly caught seafood at waterfront tavernas, sipping ouzo beneath the shade of a bougainvillea tree, and watching the world go by from a sun-drenched terrace overlooking the sea.As my journey through the Greek Islands came to an end, I found myself forever changed by the beauty, the magic, and the timeless allure of this breathtaking archipelago. And though my time in paradise may have been fleeting, the memories of my island adventure will linger in my heart forever, a testament to the enduring spirit of the Greek Islands.

Trip of a lifetime to South Africa!
I have wanted to go to South Africa for years, needed a Travel Specialist, and struck gold when I found Diana. She listened, made suggestions, and designed the trip with the perfect accommodation, restaurants, destinations, WONDERFUL driver etc. Her recommendations for sightseeing in Cape Town and beyond exceeded our expectations. The hotels were 5 star and the accommodation at a Private Game Reserve were outstanding! She even booked an amazing hotel in the middle of the wine region, surrounded by magnificent mountains and vineyards. Diana made herself available day and night in the planning and duration of our trip. Our comfort, safety and pleasure were of high priority in her planning, and I can't believe that anyone else could have done it better. Diana is above and beyond a miracle worker, and the absolute best!

Beautiful Portofino
On our way back from visiting family in Genoa, we decided to visit Portofino. Diana booked accommodation for us in La Spezia, and the following day we took the ferry to Portofino. What amazing views as we approached the town. We walked around for a bit and then per her suggestion had lunch at one of the restaurants overlooking the bay. This was one of our favorite stops on the Italian Riviera.

Live Nativity near Todi, Umbria
This was our first visit to Todi in Umbria over the holidays. What a beautiful part of Italy's Greenbelt, surrounded by endless green hills and hilltop towns and villages. Diana suggested that we attend the Live Nativity in Fratta Todina in early January. This was only a 20 minute drive from where we were staying. In Italy, January 5 is when they celebrate the 3 Kings bringing gifts to baby Jesus. The whole village from young to old is involved in the reenactment as they walk up the only main streets covered in cobblestones and with merchants on either side selling from roasted chestnuts, to food and paintings. Our children loved this experience and are still talking about it. Thank you again, Diana!
