About Me

Capturing Santorini's caldera in Imerovigli
Capturing Santorini's caldera in Imerovigli

There is a moment in Greece that happens to almost every traveler, usually when they are not expecting it. It might be standing at Cape Sounio watching the Aegean turn gold at dusk, or sitting on a terrace in Imerovigli over a cocktail at Blu as the caldera stretches out below you, or stepping into a master potter's workshop in Santorini and realizing that the craftsmanship of ancient Greece never actually stopped. Greece earns its mythology not through what you plan, but through what finds you. I have experienced that firsthand, and Greece still surprised me.

My time in Greece moved across Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, and Crete. In Mykonos, I stayed at Santa Marina and sailed from its private dock on a catamaran cruise to the sacred island of Delos and the pristine shores of Rhenia, two of the most quietly extraordinary experiences the Cyclades have to offer. I spent evenings in Mykonos Town and dined at Buddha Bar, where the energy of the island shifts into something altogether different after dark. In Santorini, I stayed at Andronis Arcadia and dined at Beefbar, took a cooking class at Petra Kouzina learning the flavors that define Greek cuisine, wandered the village of Megalochori through jewelry makers and artisan woodworkers, and had lunch at Canaves Epitome, one of the island's most celebrated properties.

But what I came away with goes well beyond the islands I personally visited. Greece is a country of extraordinary range: the Cyclades, the Ionian Islands, the Dodecanese, the Sporades, the northern Aegean, and a mainland rich with ancient sites, mountain villages, and coastline that most travelers never reach. Each island group has its own character, its own pace, and its own version of Greek life. Understanding those distinctions is what separates a well-designed Greek journey from a beautiful but generic one.

I have deepened that knowledge through trusted in-country partners who have spent decades building relationships with the finest properties, guides, and experiences across the entire country. When my clients travel to Greece, they are not just benefiting from what I have seen personally. They are accessing a network of expertise, insider access, and on-the-ground support that follows them throughout their journey.

My Greece expertise spans luxury honeymoons in Santorini and Mykonos, cultural immersions in Athens, undiscovered escapes across the lesser-known islands, and deep explorations of Crete. Whether you are planning your first visit or returning to go further, I would love to help you design a Greek journey that goes beyond the expected.

Wonderful Tropical Vacation with my Daughter and Granddaughters
Reviewed By Grandma Kitty - Sioux Falls, SD | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
Dafny made the arrangements for a tropical getaway the was over the top! I was a bit reluctant to travel so far away and was absolutely thrilled to have experienced the DR. Dafny promised me I would be safe, relaxed and have a great time. The Hyatt Dreams Beach Macaco was beautiful. The beach was breathtaking. The transportation to and from the resort that Dafny lined up was excellent. I give a 100% outstanding review to Dafny, the resort...... Our Butler Jansel, pools, lifeguards, kids' activities, nightly entertainment, security, groundskeepers, restaurants, beverages, housekeeping and Easter celebration. Special thanks to staff members Jansel, Katerin, Mari, Diana, Jhony Bravo, Kenny and Mimi Meow. We had a 100% great experience. See you next year!

The best honeymoon we could have asked for!
Reviewed By Andrew - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania | Traveled to St Lucia | South Africa | Africa
We loved every second of our honeymoon at Sandals Regency La Toc in St. Lucia! Dafny was absolutely incredible from start to finish—so knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to helping us plan the perfect trip. She made the entire process seamless and stress-free, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I can’t recommend Dafny or Regency La Toc enough, and we’ll definitely be booking through her again in the future!

The Perfect 25th Wedding Anniversary Trip
Reviewed By Jeff - Aiken, SC | Traveled to Negril | Jamaica | Caribbean
Dafny was a true God send. Life gets busy and as we approach our 25th wedding anniversary we weren’t sure if we could even do a trip like this (sandals, Negril Jamaica) with a son graduating from college and a son graduating from high school as well as aging parents. Working with Dafny gave us the confidence we needed to make it happen. She listened to each of us and was able to help us find the perfect spot. She checked in with us several times and we had so much fun touching base with her after our trip. She is amazing! Our trip was amazing! We had no idea that we even would want a photo shoot, but she scheduled one for us, knowing that it would be a great experience. She was able to help us find the perfect room type in location. I would highly recommend Dafny.

Fantastic trip to Punta Cana
Reviewed By Katy - Omaha, NE | Traveled to Dominican Republic | Caribbean
We recently traveled to Punta Cana and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. We had originally planned a trip to Mexico, but decided to change destinations at the last minute. Dafny handled the switch with incredible patience, kindness, and professionalism, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. The resort she recommended exceeded all of our expectations. It was spotless, safe, and perfectly suited for families. The food and drinks were outstanding, and every detail of our stay was thoughtfully arranged. Dafny truly took care of everything; flights, resort accommodations, transportation, and even travel insurance, so we could simply relax and enjoy our trip. We’re already looking forward to planning our next vacation with her. Thank you, Dafny, for such an amazing experience!

What a wonderful trip! Dafny is great!
Reviewed By Christy - La Toc | Traveled to St Lucia | South Africa | Africa
Dafny was very helpful in finding a location to suit our desires and needs. After the hurricane occured, Dafny was able to rebook our stay at a different wonderful resort! She also sent us wonderful information about our travel plans and itinerary several days before our arrival date. It was great information to have. She checked in on us as well and sent a nice note while at the resort.
