Customize Your Experience
Most travellers don't just want to follow a certain route or visit a sequence of sites.
Instead, they want to experience a journey that is unique to how they travel, why they are travelling, and what draws them to a landscape.
That's where I come in.
On occasion, I design self-driving or walking journeys throughout Greece; they are created with you in mind for on-the-go use, not for sharing on a screen. Each journey starts with a conversation—not with templates.

The Process
I begin by listening to you and asking you questions.
We discuss:
* How long have you been interested in travelling
* Where you'll start and finish
* Whether you prefer walking, driving or some combination of both
* What most interests you—history, myth, landscape, food, language, memory and family
From there, I will develop your journey in writing and provide you with the necessary directions and detailed information about the sights you will see. Your journey will not be rigid, but rather a guide to help you know where to go within the landscape you are travelling through and to understand the stories and history behind what you see.

Examples of the Size and Type of Journeys
The following journeys started out as custom-designed journeys but are provided here for illustrative purposes of the amount of detail and story that can go into creating one.
Northern Greece and Meteora (Start in Thessaloniki)
The route across northern Greece highlights the region's cities and provides insight into the monastic community of Meteora.
Ionian Islands and Coast (Start in Corfu)
A journey which focuses on the maritime history within the Ionian Sea, including the Venetian fortifications, trade and commerce on the islands, and more.
Central Greece and the Peloponnese (Start in Athens)
A journey that will take you through the Acropolis and then out of Athens; it traces how mythology, philosophy and democratic-ness continue to have a significant impact, even so many years later.
You can modify your journey by lengthening, shortening, or restructuring it to suit your interests and time constraints.
