Hello. I'm Julia, your local expert for Greece

Active online: 18h ago
I was born and raised in beautiful Athens, the capital city of Greece. With living history right at my doorstep, it was only natural for me to develop a passion for my country’s culture and history. Today, I am a travel specialist for everyone wanting to experience unique moments and see the hidden cultural and natural gems of my country. Our tour operator is a family business, with me and my sister running the operational aspects of it, supported by our fabulous team. We take every opportunity to travel in our beautiful country, both on the peninsula as well as the many islands. Allow us to take you on exclusive food & wine tastings, to explore off-the-beaten-track Greek natural attractions.

The Historical and Mythological Cyclades islands

The Cyclades islands include two of the most famous Greek Islands: Santorini and Mykonos. Visit these and some of the smaller, quieter, islands. With white washed houses, narrow cobbled streets, blue domed roofs and stunning beaches, they are what Greece is all about.

10-day group trip to Greece

“Somewhere We Know helped me plan the perfect vacation for Greece. The hotel recommendations were all excellent and unique with exceptional customer service accommodating every request, while at same providing a very special local vibe. The tours all exceeded our expectations with top of the class tour guides. Julia at Somewhere We Know, fully understood what we were looking for and recommended the best tours at each of our stops. These tours guides all ha something in common, their expertise and love for their Greek Culture and History. Finally, the arrangements made for the airport inter-island transfers were seamless. Always on time (or earlier) with all info provided in a handy app. I must admit I was a little hesitant in using a travel agency off the internet, but rest assured this was the best decision I made, for the priceless memories and experience we had i Greece.”

11-day family trip to Greece

“Yulia from Somewhere We Know planned a truly amazing graduation trip for our family. She was thoughtful, friendly, and organized. She gave great insights, provided really exceptional lodging options, and coordinated our entire trip seamlessly. Anytime I had a question or concern, Yulia responded quickly and provided me with detailed information. The process of working with RoughGuides was actually pretty simple, and I will be using them again in the future for planning another vacation. As for beautiful Greece, we will definitely be back, and will be using Yulia at Somewhere We Know again for all our Greek adventure needs!”

10-day couple trip to Greece

“Our trip to Greece (Naxos, Santorini, and Crete) exceeded our expectations! Our local travel experts Julia and Yulia were wonderful. She was super responsive, helped us plan a wonderful trip, and helped when last minute changes came up (missed flight, changed tour start time etc...). All of the accommodations that were booked for us were beautiful and the tours/tour guides were informative, friendly, and engaging. We would definitely book through Rough Guides again, and would highly recommend the tour agency.”

7-day family trip to Greece

“Our week in Athens and Crete last week could not have gone more perfectly. I usually enjoy planning my family travels. I feel like beginning the planning is like starting the trip. With a very limited time period and the wanting to accommodate the needs of teenaged grandchildren and grandparents in our eighties, I felt there was no room for error. Working closely with Julia produced an exciting, comprehensive experience none of us will ever forget. Our expectations and needs were fulfilled, under the guidance of Julia’s patient, kind expertise.”
