Co-founder & Senior Family Travel Specialist for Greece and Italy
Eleni Fotiou
Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I often feel like I was born with a suitcase in one hand and a notebook in the other. From backpacking adventures across the Mediterranean to tracing the literary footsteps of historian William Dalrymple, I’ve always believed that travel is much more than movement, it’s a way of shaping identity, perspective, and connection.
Today, traveling as a mother of three has transformed the way I design journeys. I find magic in the simple joys of the Mediterranean: an olive tree, a vineyard, a boat drifting on calm waters, a family lunch that lasts for hours. I create tailor made experiences across Greece and Italy that bring together curiosity, ease, and the kind of memories families carry long after the trip ends.
More Than a Family Trip
Designing a great family trip isn’t about collecting beautiful places. It’s about knowing which ones truly fit the family in front of you.
I spend a great deal of time exploring destinations firsthand, visiting family friendly accommodations, testing experiences, meeting guides, and understanding how a place feels through the eyes of both parents and children. I look for the details that make a difference, the guide who naturally connects with teenagers, the quiet beach that works better than the famous one, the activity that keeps both grandparents and kids equally engaged.
I believe a truly tailor made trip comes from listening carefully. Every family travels differently. Some need slower mornings, some need adventure every day, some need space to simply be together. My role is to understand that rhythm and design around it.
From sailing the calm waters of the Saronic Gulf to treasure hunts in Santorini, from family farms in Crete to hidden beaches in the Peloponnese, I build journeys that feel natural, thoughtful, and full of life.
Because the goal is never just to see Greece. It’s to feel part of it.
