A FEW WORDS ABOUT US
We are a new online travel service, with offices in London, England and Athens, Greece. We promote quality and sustainable forms of tourism to Greece.
Our focus is to bring independent travellers in touch with the unique Mykonian culture and its authentic people, helping them relax and spend quality time with friends and family.
Our exclusive travellers are able to share knowledge and gain experiences by visiting exciting destinations offered by our network of carefully chosen partners.
Our mission is to help explore, inform, share, gain and above all show that there is more to travel !
We are a travel focused service that brings together people, in a knowledge sharing journey.
WHY LIST YOUR SERVICES WITH US?
1. WE LOVE GREECE 2. We offer a no commission service so that the locals earn more income as land managers, entrepreneurs, service and produce providers, and employees. 3. We believe that tourism enables the traveller to discover local habitats and wildlife, and celebrates and respects traditional cultures, rituals and wisdom. 4. Creates a bond between our customers and the local community and ensures repeat business and benefits for all. 5. We are promoting quality sustainable forms of tourism as an alternative to mass tourism. You don't necessarily make more money through mass tourism, when you look at the cost of mass tourism, the cost to your local environment and the cost to your culture. 6. We aim to create services that will help change and extend the seasonal face of Greece (July-August) into an exciting all year round destination. 7. We aim to change the perception of Greece as a Sea and Sun destination by promoting our cultural heritage and diverse natural beauties 8. We aim to show our customers that they can find unique experiences in Greece. 9. To achieve the above we want you to honour us with your finest service.
