Hello. I'm Effie, your local expert for Italy

My name is Effie (short for Effrosyni), born and raised in Athens with roots in Crete, and for years I’ve been guiding travelers through Greece and beyond. Having lived in Santorini, studied in France, and explored Italy in depth, I now specialize in both Greece and Italy, two Mediterranean treasures that share history, flavors, and soul, yet each keeps its own unique magic. My passion is helping travelers experience these places not just as destinations, but as stories to be lived.
