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.

Why use a Travel Counsellor
Let's plan your dream trip together
Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call. I’ll listen to your thoughts and ideas like I would a friend and arrange accommodation, activities, and flights that are all personalised to you. And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
Stress-free travel, and more time for what matters most
I believe your time away should be stress-free, easy, and seamless from start to finish. So, I take care of all the details for you - from ATOL protection, insurance, and flexible payments to access to the myTC app, which keeps everything in one place.
Support when it matters most
If the unexpected happens, you can rest easy, knowing that I’ll handle any last-minute changes, flight cancellations, or disruptions before you even pick up the phone. So you always feel happy, carefree, and ready to make the most of every moment.
