Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you charge fees?
The key difference lies in our business model. We charge consulting fees for our time and expertise, leveraging our extensive knowledge of Greece to design your trip from scratch. Unlike others, we do not sell pre-packaged tours; instead, we book directly with local providers, eliminating intermediaries. Additionally, we do not apply any markups to the services we arrange.
We dedicate significant time to tasks that do not generate commissions, such as:
• Providing detailed recommendations for traveling within Greece.
• Recommending restaurants and coffees that we visit, or our friends suggested
• Creating detailed driving routes with advice on parking and sights.
• Suggesting hiking routes for those who can hike independently but need information on difficulty, distance, starting and ending points, and stops along the way.
• Giving DIY recommendations to help you explore independently without have to deal with closed places or long lines.
Additionally, we can help with booking accommodations like Airbnb or VRBO, or small local businesses.

How far in advance of my trip should I reach out to you?
Custom Itineraries are meticulously crafted and develop over time.
The best time to begin planning a custom itinerary is 6-9 months before your departure date. This period is ideal for developing your itinerary outline and arranging flights and accommodations. It is advisable to contact us and secure your spot as early as possible.
Can you customize a tour I found online?
Yes, if there is an itinerary you like the look of, we can take it and make it completely your own.
Should I insure my vacation?
Travel insurance provides peace of mind in case of unexpected events. Given that travel is an investment, we highly recommend trip cancellation and interruption insurance for all guests. This coverage safeguards against unforeseen circumstances that could potentially disrupt your journey and helps protect your travel investment. It should ideally include medical expenses and repatriation in the event of an accident or illness. Additionally, we advise having coverage for personal belongings, delays at your departure or return point, personal liability, overseas legal expenses, and cancellations.
