Imagine standing on a sun-drenched terrace, overlooking the azure waters of the Aegean. The Mediterranean sun wraps around us, while a gentle sea breeze carries the scent of blooming jasmine. We stroll along ancient stone pathways, discovering a village where history whispers from every corner. Greece beckons us with its rich heritage and natural beauty, inviting us to immerse ourselves in a culture where every moment is a story waiting to be lived. Envision us at a cozy taverna, where the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean greet us with each bite. The locals welcome us with warm smiles, treating us like long-lost friends. The table is set with the freshest seafood, creamy feta, and rich olive oil, all perfectly paired with a glass of local wine. As we laugh and share stories, each dish connects us deeper to the heart of Greek culture. It’s more than just a meal; it’s an experience that celebrates life and the joy of being together. But the magic of Greece doesn’t stop at the table. We’ll wander through ancient ruins, explore bustling markets, and uncover the secrets of this incredible land together. Whether we’re chatting with a local artisan about their craft or standing in awe at a sunset that turns the sky into a canvas of colors, each experience brings us closer—not just to Greece, but to each other. This isn’t just a trip; it’s a journey of discovery, where every moment is shared, savored, and remembered. Let’s go—Greece is waiting for us.

Although Sophia was born and raised in Athens, the hectic lifestyle of a big city never appealed to her. So when she finished school and got her Proficiency degree in English, no one was surprised that she decided to move to a Cycladic island to work as an English teacher.
Fascinated by the beauty, traditional character, and intriguing history of the island, she loved sharing her enthusiasm and newly acquired knowledge with friends and family members who came to visit. Soon, what started as a hobby became a full time occupation.
In her free time, Sophia loves spending time with her three kids, taking care of her garden, reading history books, but above all, enjoying the company of good friends.
She can’t wait to meet you!

You want to fly into the Athens International Airport?
The trip officially starts on the afternoon of October 8th, but if you are traveling across an ocean to get to Athens, consider arriving a day early so you have time to relax and adjust to the local time zone. If you do decide to arrive early, please let us know and we will take care of booking your room for you and make sure that you are kept in the same room until the trip starts.
About 6-8 weeks before the trip starts, we'll organize a Zoom video call to discuss all the details of the trip and give you a packing list. Here is a great website that we love that will help you with packing and travel trips.
In the Peloponnese during October, the weather is typically mild and pleasant. Daytime temperatures range from around 65°F to 75°F, while nights can cool down to between 50°F and 60°F. It’s a great time to visit, as it's not too hot, and there’s still plenty of sunshine!
