About Me

The Volcanic Sand Beaches of Milos
The Volcanic Sand Beaches of Milos

Greece is a country rich in history, culture, and stunning landscapes. From the ancient ruins of Athens to the pristine beaches of the Greek Islands, Greece offers travelers a chance to experience a perfect blend of the past and present. Whether you're exploring ancient temples, enjoying Mediterranean cuisine, or relaxing on sun-kissed beaches, a trip to Greece is sure to be unforgettable.

Best Places to Visit in Greece

  • Athens: The capital city, Athens, is home to some of the world’s most famous ancient sites. Visit the Acropolis, home to the Parthenon, and stroll through the charming Plaka district. Don’t miss the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Ancient Agora for a deep dive into Greece’s rich history.
  • Santorini: One of the most iconic Greek Islands, Santorini is famous for its stunning sunsets, whitewashed buildings with blue domes, and crystal-clear waters. Explore the charming villages of Oia and Fira, relax on volcanic beaches, and enjoy delicious local cuisine.
  • Mykonos: Known for its vibrant nightlife and cosmopolitan atmosphere, Mykonos is a must-visit for party lovers. Stroll through the narrow streets of Mykonos Town, visit the famous windmills, and dance the night away at one of the island’s famous beach clubs.
  • Crete: Crete is the largest Greek island and offers a mix of stunning beaches, ancient ruins, and picturesque villages. Visit the Palace of Knossos, hike through the Samaria Gorge, or relax on the sandy beaches of Elafonissi.
  • Rhodes: Known for its medieval Old Town, Rhodes is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore the ancient Acropolis of Lindos, relax on the island’s beautiful beaches, and visit the Palace of the Grand Master for a glimpse of its rich history.

Best Time to Visit Greece

The best time to visit Greece is during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) months when the weather is perfect for sightseeing, and the crowds are fewer. Summer (July and August) can be quite hot, especially on the islands, but it's also the peak tourist season with bustling beaches, lively nightlife, and a festive atmosphere. For those interested in avoiding the crowds while still enjoying warm weather, the shoulder seasons of spring and fall offer the ideal balance.

Things to Do in Greece

  • Visit ancient ruins – Explore the historical sites of Athens, including the Acropolis and the Temple of Olympian Zeus, or see the ancient city of Delphi.
  • Island hopping – Take a boat tour to explore the stunning Greek Islands, from Santorini to Mykonos and Crete.
  • Relax on the beaches – Greece is known for its beautiful beaches like Navagio Beach on Zakynthos and the beaches of Mykonos and Crete.
  • Hike the mountains – Discover Mount Olympus or hike through the Samaria Gorge in Crete for stunning views.
  • Indulge in Greek cuisine – Taste the local flavors of moussaka, souvlaki, and fresh seafood, paired with a glass of ouzo or local wine.

Ireland The Emerald Isle A Traveler's Paradise
Reviewed By Jane S. - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
I had a great experience working with Ahmer Khan as our travel agent. He was very helpful in organizing our family tourist visit to Ireland. He was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had and made sure that our trip went smoothly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a travel agent.
Ahmer Khan responded
"Thank you Jane, I'm glad to hear that your family had a great time in Ireland. It's always my goal to make sure all of our clients have the best possible experience when they travel with us and it sounds like we did just that! I'll be in touch soon about booking another trip for you or someone else on your team."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best adventure and most exciting trip Ive been on!
Reviewed By Jacob G - Austin, TX | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Of all the vacations and adventures I've been on, none compared to this one. And this was all thanks to Ahmer and his compassion and commitment to making my trip so unique. I was very impressed by the locations that he chose. We made drives through places I have only read about. From the ocean views at the places we stayed nestled in remote rain forests to the deep jungle we explored, everything was not only exciting, but of envy to my friends and family. Every picture we took was something I had barely experienced prior. For me the thing that stood out was the feeling we had backpacking into the Ova Peninsula. I had never seen so much wildlife outside of a documentary. I am looking forward to our next engagement with Ahmer. I can not wait to see what he has planned for us in the future.
Ahmer Khan responded
"Hi Jacob, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. The Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica is certainly a favorite and feels almost like another world. The Corcovado National Park is the gem of the peninsula and we could have easily spent another week there hiking through the lush vegetation and experiencing the biodiversity of this jungle. Hope you get more opportunities to travel to amazing places. Cheers, The Hourglass Team"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

9 days in Paris and Nice
Reviewed By TalhaK - San Jose, CA | Traveled to France ~ Europe
Ahmer helped plan and book my first family vacation in France. I was travelling to France on a business trip and decided to take a vacation afterwards. Ahmer was extremely approachable, knowledgable and friendly, and went out of his way to customize the trip for us. My family and I were flying in to Paris and returning from Nice. He planned and booked the air ticket and local tours for us. He even recommended against booking certain tours and do the activity on our own instead (to save time and money). He has travelled extensively throughout his life with and without his family - this sets him apart from other travel agents as he actually knows the destination thoroughly. I would definitely book my future trips with him.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

An unforgettable trip to Egypt 2023
Reviewed By Linda - Boston, MA | Traveled to Cairo ~ Egypt ~ Africa
Ahmer Khan was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and attentive to details as we worked on planning a 10-day trip to Egypt for our group of friends. I have been to Egypt before several times and I knew in my initial conversation with Ahmer that he had an in-depth knowledge of Egypt that would make our trip seamless. While on the trip, I had to contact Ahmer a couple of times for questions and he responded immediately. This helped us feel supported even though we were so far away. Planning the trip with Ahmer also made the process easy and fun and I felt like I could talk to him for hours about our trip. From this point forward, I will likely never plan a major trip without Ahmer's assistance. It made the world of difference for myself and my friends and we returned with some of the most epic memories of lives, and we have Ahmer to thank for that!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A trip to remember
Reviewed By Kashif - Sacramento, CA | Traveled to French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
We were on the fence about this trip and decided to go after talking with Ahmer. He helped a lot in planning it and made everything a breeze. Buying plane tickets, car rental, hotel reservations, things to do, you name it; Ahmer helped with all of them. We are so glad that we picked Ahmer because it was a trip to remember!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
