About Me

Maybe you’ve been dreaming about exploring ancient ruins under the Mediterranean sun. Well, look no further than Greece for your next holiday adventure. As your travel agent specialist for Greece, I know you’ll love your adventure.From the picturesque islands of Santorini and Mykonos to the historic city of Athens, Greece offers something for every traveler. Get ready to feast on fresh seafood, creamy feta, and succulent olives. And bring your walking shoes - between the Acropolis, Delphi, and Olympia, your Instagram feed is about to get an ancient architecture upgrade, not to mention the stunning sunsets and vibrant nightlife. Greece is calling your name. Are you ready to answer? Let’s explore the top 10 must-see ancient sites and ruins first.

The Acropolis in Athens is a must-see, with the iconic Parthenon temple sitting atop a hill overlooking the city. Built in 447 BC, the Parthenon honors the goddess Athena. When climbing up the stone walkways, you'll see magnificent Doric columns and architecture.

The Temple of Poseidon at Sounion, perched on a cliff with views of the sea, is stunning at sunset. Only 15 columns remain of the original temple from 444 BC, but it's majestic.

The Palace of Knossos on Crete, home of the Minoan civilization from 2000 BC, is Europe's oldest city. Though mostly ruins, you can still see remnants of royal chambers, baths, and the legendary labyrinth.

With over 6,000 islands to choose from, you'll be spoiled for choice. Santorini is a must-visit with its iconic white-washed buildings, black sand beaches and vibrant sunsets. Mykonos is a glamorous party island, perfect for dancing the night away. Crete boasts palm-fringed beaches, ancient ruins and rugged mountains. Rhodes, Corfu and Zakynthos also top the list of popular islands. Island hopping by ferry is a great way to see many of these isles in one day  trip.Some of the Magnificent BeachesGreece's beaches come in many flavors - from family-friendly sites to secluded locations. Some of the best include:?      Navagio (Shipwreck) Beach in Zakynthos with crystal-clear waters and a rustic shipwreck.?      Balos Lagoon in Crete, which is only accessible by boat, is filled with tropical vibes.?      Porto Katsiki, in Lefkada, features dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters.?      Voidokilia Beach in Messinia is a perfect crescent-shaped beach with dunes.A beach holiday in Greece is a dream come true. With your swimsuit and sense of adventure, you'll make memories to last a lifetime exploring these Mediterranean masterpieces. The stunning scenery and laid-back lifestyle are sure to recharge your batteries.The Best Outdoor Activities Greece is an ideal destination for an active outdoor holiday, with stunning natural scenery and a Mediterranean climate perfect for being outside. Here are some of the best activities to experience in the Greek outdoors.HikingGreece offers some of the best hiking in Europe, from mountain trails to coastal paths. The Zagori region has beautiful stone bridges, monasteries and villages connected by hiking routes. The Mani Peninsula has coastal trails with sea cliffs and beaches. Crete has gorges, with the Samaria Gorge being one of the longest in Europe. Hiking in spring or fall is best if you want to avoid the biggest crowds.BeachgoingWith over 1,000 islands, Greece's coastline seems endless. Some of the most famous beaches are on the islands of Crete, Corfu, Kos, Rhodes and Zakynthos. Look for quieter shores on the islands of Lesvos, Chios or Samos. Or try the beaches near Parga and Preveza on the mainland. Most beaches have sunbeds and umbrellas to rent, and you can visit tavernas right on the beach for lunch.Water SportsIf you want to get out on the water, Greece offers opportunities for sailing, sea kayaking, kitesurfing and more. The Ionian Islands and Sporades are ideal for sailing, with steady winds and secluded bays. The beaches around Kalamata are popular for kitesurfing and windsurfing. Sea kayaking lets you explore coves and beaches inaccessible by land. You can rent gear or take lessons in most tourist destinations.CyclingGreece's mountain roads and trails are perfect for cycling, from leisurely rides to challenging climbs. The Mani Peninsula, Zagori and mountainous Crete offer scenic bike touring routes. The cycling on Corfu, Kos and Zakynthos is fairly easygoing, suitable for most riders. For road cycling and mountain biking, check out trails on Evia, the Peloponnese and around Delphi. Many hotels offer bike rentals, or you can join a cycling holiday.After exploring the wonders of Greece, you'll return home with memories of ancient history, stunning islands, and delicious food to last a lifetime. Whether you spend your days amidst the architectural marvels of Athens, lounging on the beaches of Santorini, or sailing the Aegean Sea, you’ll plan a return holiday.As your travel agent representative for Greece, I’ll take care of all the details. Call me today so we can collaborate on your Greek holiday!

Amazing Trip to Rome
Reviewed By Terri W - Watertown MN | Traveled to Rome ~ Italy ~ Europe
Daena was AMAZING to work with!! She was very excited to help us plan our trip to Italy! She helped save us money on both hotel and flights using our frequent flyer miles as well as having our hotel close, but not too close, to city center and within walking distance. She gave us so many ideas of things to see while in the area and recommending the best ways to get around in Rome. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone traveling to Italy, she knows the area very well!! She was always available to me, even while she was traveling cross county in the US as well as traveling in Italy herself! Shelly likes to travel and it shows!!

Daena did a wonderful job of planning and making all of the arrangements for our cruise vacation to Alaska. She handled the flights, accommodations before and after our cruise, all cruise arrangements, all cruise excursions, dinner reservations, absolutely everything. She made sure everything we needed was handled and we could just enjoy our vacation. I have used Daena in the past and will definitely use her in the future. I highly recommend having her plan your next trip!
