Our Mission Statement
I set up Greece Travel Guide in 2017 to share my passion for this beautiful country. Its climate, culture, variety and relaxed attitude make it a truly unforgettable holiday destination, and each year, I look forward to at least one trip back to what has become a very special place for me.
Through this website, I share my experiences, advice, and reviews of the places I visit in the hope that it will help you make your time in Greece as rewarding as possible.

My Experiences in Greece
My first recollection of visiting Greece was a family holiday to Rhodes in 1990 when I was just eight. I have lasting memories of hot sunny days at the beach, swimming in the sea and playing around on the hot sand. These blissful days were followed by warm evenings eating generous portions of great food, served by happy and welcoming locals proud to introduce visitors to their beautiful island.
I’m sure Pefkos has changed significantly over the 30+ years since my first visit, but I’m pleased to say that Greece still retains the unique charm and sense of relaxation I remember all those years ago. Each time I step off the plane and take a deep breath of the warm, fragrant air, I feel a peace which is hard to find anywhere else in the world.
I can’t claim to have visited every island – there are over 150 inhabited ones to choose from – but over the past three decades, I have been to:
- Aegina (Egina)
- Agistri
- Amorgos
- Andros
- Antiparos
- Astypalea
- Corfu
- Crete
- Delos
- Elafonisos
- Folegandros
- Halkidiki
- Ios
- Iraklia
- Karpathos
- Kefalonia
- Kimolos
- Kos
- Koufonissi (Ano Koufonisi and Kato Koufonisi)
- Lesvos
- Mykonos
- Milos
- Naxos
- Paros
- Rhodes
- Santorini
- Serifos
- Sifnos
- Sikinos
- Thassos
- Tilos
- Tinos
- Zakynthos
Many of them on multiple occasions. While several are considered tourist hotspots, many of my recent trips have been branching out to less well-known islands. Each time I visit, I gain new perspectives and insights into the country and its inhabitants and see and explore new places in a way that never gets boring.
