It's Nice To Meet You

Hello, I'm Maria – your dedicated Travel Counsellor, creator of extraordinary travel experiences and your journey starts here !

With 35 years in the tourism industry, I've discovered that the most rewarding part of my work isn't just planning trips – it's crafting memories that last a lifetime. My passion lies in taking the overwhelming task of travel planning completely off your hands, so you can focus on the excitement of your upcoming adventure.

Born of Greek-Cypriot heritage, I bring insider knowledge and authentic connections to this stunning region. I don't just book holidays to Greece and Cyprus – I unlock hidden gems, arrange exclusive experiences, and ensure you discover these destinations like a local, not a tourist. From secluded beaches to family-run tavernas, ancient ruins to vibrant local festivals, I know exactly how to make your Mediterranean journey truly special.

I believe luxury lies in the details. Every itinerary I create is meticulously crafted. You'll never find yourself wondering "what's next?" because I've already thought of everything. Rest assured I will create exceptional experiences wherever your wanderlust leads.

I take time to understand not just where you want to go, but how you want to feel when you get there. Whether you're seeking adventure, romance, relaxation, or cultural immersion, I'll design experiences that resonate with your travel aspirations.

I understand that planning the perfect holiday can be overwhelming and time-consuming. That's exactly why I'm here – to transform what could be hours of research and coordination into a seamless, enjoyable process. Working from my home office means I'm available when you need me, fitting calls around your schedule, not mine.

Through Travel Counsellors' award-winning technology and 100% financial protection, plus access to thousands of trusted suppliers worldwide, I can arrange any journey, anywhere in the world and I am with you every step of the way.

Let's start planning your next unforgettable adventure. Whether you're dreaming of a romantic escape to Santorini, a family villa in Crete, or an adventure anywhere else in the world, I'm here to make it happen – beautifully, effortlessly, and exactly as you imagined.

Get in touch today and let's create something extraordinary together.

Maria , our Travel Counsellor was more than excellent handling our complex Greece trip. She had great communication skills, she listened to ours needs and executed on time. It was such a relief to have her help with booking our flights, ferries, transportation and accommodation. I am fluent in Greek but having her assistance to communicate with partners was a huge weight off my shoulders. Maria felt like family by the end as we kept in constant communication. She is so sweet and thoughtful in every aspect. I will definitely leverage Maria's expertise and assistance of your next trip!

From start to finish we could not fault anything! Maria helped us carefully plan our Canada & Alaska itinerary ensuring we were able to include all of the things we wanted to do. She kept us informed every step of the way and provided support & guidance through the entire process. We were each travelling from opposite ends of the world to meet up in Canada. We travelled the Rocky Mountaineer through spectacular countryside and ended on a cruise through the Inside Passage. It was an unforgettable experience and I highly recommend Maria for such a complex trip.

Our trip to Canada & Alaska was organised by Maria and she did not disappoint!!! Her attention to detail, communication skills, keeping us up to date with all the options, even before we booked, was far more than we expected! She organised our transfers, accommodation and trips etc, kept in touch with us all the way through. She could not have done more, even contacting us on our return. I would recommend Maria without a second thought, just hope I am lucky to need her services again. She definitely goes above and beyond, nothing would be too much for her!!!

Maria was highly recommended by a friend and she certainly did not disappoint with our multi-centre trip to Malaysia, Australia & Singapore. Maria delivered on everything we asked for, made herself available any time or day of the week and responded to our queries promptly, always polite and professional. Thank you. Maria.

Travel Bulletin UK - Agent Insight on Greece & Cyprus

30 June 2024

Brought together by history, culture, religion and tradition, these stunning destinations are two in the same; an extension of each other. When anyone asks me for a Greece or Cyprus trip, I’ll do my best to make sure it’s a journey of discovery from start to finish. As a Greek-Cypriot myself, living in Cyprus, I’m a blend of both destinations and naturally know what to recommend to travellers to
