My adventures usually involve nature, wellness, animals and food as well as the usual tourist hotspots. I report back here with all the information you need to easily create your own Greek adventure.

Need An Airport Transfer?

I've enjoyed using Welcome Pickups because their drivers are timely and courteous. They also don't mind me asking them to wait until the EXACT collection time, even though they always arrive early!

Ready to Book Your Ferries?

I use Ferryhopper because it's straightforward to use, shows all ferry options and keeps my bookings in one place.

Need a House And Pet Sitter While You Travel?

When I travel, a house/pet sitter stays with my cats in my home for free. And I've stayed in Naxos and Athens for free as a pet sitter.
