We achieve this by fostering strong, trust-based relationships with our partners and leveraging our deep expertise in the destination’s finest products and services.
Avoiding the ordinary is at the heart of what we do. Instead of offering pre-designed packages, we create tailor-made itineraries from the ground up, meticulously customized and personalized to reflect our guests’ unique tastes, preferences, and aspirations.
Sustainability is a cornerstone of our philosophy. We are proud to support local suppliers and collaborate exclusively with boutique properties and services that honor the culture and character of each destination.
Our ultimate goal is simple: to ensure that every guest experiences the true essence of Greece in a way that is seamless, unforgettable, and blissful.

Nelly Hatzopoulou
Hi, my name is Nelly and I am passionate about travel. In fact, all the major decisions in my life, have been influenced by this passion. I have lived, worked, and travelled abroad extensively, and for the sole reason of fulfilling a dream that began in childhood; to discover different cultures and meet new people. My philosophy? In order to get to truly know a culture, you need to get to know its people and experience their daily life away from the crowds. I feel that this privilege should be accessible to everyone that craves it. In this day and age with so many alternatives to fit all pockets, everyone should be entitled to reach their dream destination.
