Co-founder & Senior Travel Specialist for Greece and Italy
Some of the best trips happen when you move beyond the obvious and experience a place through its people, its rhythm, and its everyday life. My work is about creating journeys that feel authentic, personal, and far from the standard tourist path. It is based on experience, judgment, and the confidence to adapt.
A good itinerary is never just a list of places. It’s a balance of timing, energy, people, and instinct. I spend much of my time on the road, because real travel expertise comes from being there — visiting a small farm in Crete, meeting shepherds in the Peloponnese, tracing pottery workshops in Sifnos, understanding traditional balsamico from the owner of a family business in Modena, or finding the artisan workshops hidden in the back streets of Florence, and, in general, chasing the kind of experiences that don’t appear in guidebooks.
I work closely with local guides, historians, artisans, and hosts, the people who shape your journey. Choosing the right guide matters as much as the destination itself. Choosing the right lunch stop matters. Knowing how to adapt a plan to best fit the weather, the crowds, the seasonal produce, and the traveler’s preferences matters even more.
Knowing a place inside-out is only half the job. In a world that moves at lightning speed, with quick clicks and action buttons, I will take the time to listen, understand your perspective, and then tailor the itinerary to your pace and curiosity.
Then comes the part you never see: the logistics running “smooth as silk,” the details handled quietly in the background, so all you have to do is show up for an unforgettable experience.
Whether it’s watching a performance at the ancient theater in Epidaurus, dining in a sea captain’s mansion in Syros, walking the old marble quarries of Paros, cooking local dishes with a Tuscan family, or strolling the coastal towns of the Italian Riviera, my goal is always the same: to create journeys that feel real, not staged.
Because memorable travel isn’t about seeing more. It’s about feeling more.
"Travel12 is the best travel organiser I have ever dealt with. For over a year, I planned this Greek getaway, and from the moment we arrived, it felt like royal treatment. Tasos arranged a deeply curated 14-day journey that took us through Athens, Delphi, Olympia, Nafplio, Crete, and Santorini — each destination with its own expert guide who brought history and mythology to life with infectious enthusiasm. Highlights included an olive oil producer visit, sea kayaking above a sunken ancient city, and a Minoan mythology tour at one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world. Every detail was perfect. The support team was always available, and the quality of every experience exceeded anything I could have imagined. Everything was perfect. Thank you to Tasos and the entire Travel12 team!"
"We booked our honeymoon through Travel12 with the help of Tasos, and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Every hotel Tasos chose was perfect — boutique, beautifully located, and completely in line with our preferences. We even had a local driver comment on how exceptional our hotel selection was! All of the activities were so well planned and so much fun. Tasos and his team made the whole process completely stress-free and we had the honeymoon of our dreams. We would absolutely recommend Travel12 to anyone!"
""Amazing!!! The Travel12 team was always one step ahead — aware of any weather or unexpected changes during our trip and handling everything seamlessly. Every single element met or exceeded our expectations. Tasos is the very best!"
"Tasos and the Travel12 team are top-notch professionals with a genuinely personal touch. From our very first conversation, Tasos asked so many thoughtful questions about who we are and how we travel — and that made all the difference. I had no idea where to start; I only knew I wanted to visit Italy and Greece. Tasos made it so easy. Throughout the trip, any time I had a question or concern, there was a resolution within minutes. The quality of every hotel, guide, and driver was exceptional. I would strongly recommend Travel12 for your travel needs."
"We had a GREAT time in Italy. We met with Tasos to explain what we were looking for and our budget — we had seven couples and wanted to cover the length of the country. The package Tasos put together exceeded all our expectations. For me, the most impressive part was how flawlessly every meeting point, transfer, and activity came together across such a complex, multi-stop itinerary. Not a single issue. I will absolutely use Tasos again and highly recommend him to anyone!"
"Every single guide on our trip was exceptional — knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of Italy with us. Such amazing and personable people. We were taken through some truly outstanding places and came away with memories we will treasure forever. Many thanks to the entire Travel12 team and to Tasos for his guidance and outstanding service throughout the planning process."
"We had a wonderful experience with Travel12. Tasos was exceptional and made sure every detail of our trip was meticulously planned. Everything ran professionally and couldn't have been smoother. Every driver took great care of us throughout Italy, and the guided experiences — from Rome to Venice to the Italian coast — were all outstanding. The highlight of the trip was a tour of Cinque Terre with the most remarkable guide we have ever experienced. We would certainly recommend each of these excursions and the overall Travel12 experience."
"From start to finish, Tasos and his team were amazing to work with. We had a lot of questions and concerns, and every single one was answered. They handled all our requests and arrangements without missing a beat. Every driver was on time, every excursion was incredible, and everything was exactly as promised. The catamaran trip to one of Crete's most breathtaking beaches was an unforgettable day, and the cooking class was equally fantastic. 10/10 — no notes!"
"My overall satisfaction with the Travel12 team is very high. From the planning stage right through to the on-the-ground support, the team did an outstanding job. What I appreciated most was how Tasos took the time to genuinely get to know me and understand what I wanted to accomplish with the trip. Every element was executed beautifully — transfers, reservations, and all the logistics. Meeting welcoming and knowledgeable guides and local people made the experience truly memorable."
"We had the vacation of a lifetime visiting Italy and Greece! Tasos and his team did an incredible job. We had excellent guides at every stop, beautiful accommodations, and seamless transfers throughout. Every detail was taken care of so we could simply enjoy the experience — and enjoy it we absolutely did."
"Tasos and the Travel12 team were so great and so helpful! Tasos asked all the right questions, suggested creative and budget-friendly experiences, and built the perfect honeymoon for us. Throughout the trip, the team was always available for support and came through brilliantly whenever we needed last-minute adjustments. Our guides went above and beyond, sneaking in extra surprises that made us feel truly special. We had such a wonderful time and are still buzzing from all the memories. Thank you so much for everything — we truly, truly appreciate it!"
"Tasos listened carefully to everything I wanted to see and do, and he and his team surpassed my expectations. We saw so many incredible sites and experienced a beautifully scenic journey through southern Greece. The guided tours through the archaeological sites were the highlight — we had the best guides at every single location, each one bringing the history and the landscape to life in a way we will never forget."
"Travel12 made our bucket-list trip to Greece come to life! They organised all our tours and transportation, worked with us to align every activity with our personal interests, and even provided thoughtful suggestions for how to spend our free days. Highlights included the walking tours of Athens and our time in Santorini. I would absolutely recommend booking your trip with Travel12!"
"We had to make several changes to our trip — including dates of tours and accommodation — within just a few weeks of travelling, and Tasos sorted everything out without compromising our plans in the slightest. Completely flexible, totally professional. The restaurant recommendations were excellent too. A really seamless experience from start to finish."
"Travel12 was wonderful to work with. They captured our interests from the very beginning and were quick to respond every time we reached out. We particularly loved our time on Naxos — it was so refreshing to experience Greece away from the huge crowds. Exactly the kind of authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience we were hoping for."
"We had an awesome time in Greece. Tasos and Travel12 did an amazing job planning and executing the entire trip. Everything went exactly as planned — and the parts that didn't were entirely the weather's fault, not theirs! We enjoyed every single moment."
