Kαλώς ορίσατε*! Welcome!
I'm glad you found your way here! This is a place for anyone who is even a little bit interested in Greek culture, whether you have Greek roots or not.
Pull up a virtual blue chair at our digital taverna by the sea here and hang out for a bit.
The point behind starting this whole thing is that I just love all things Greek; the music, the history, the food, the quirks of culture , and of course, the glorious country itself.
I wanted it to be a place for:
Inspiration - Inviting you to explore the magic of Greece, whether through travel, culture, or food, and encourage you to connect with it on a personal level.
Connection – From genealogy to local insights, let's build a bridge to Greek culture, offering both Greeks and non-Greeks a deeper, more meaningful experience. I think this is especially helpful for those of us in the diaspora.
Discovery – Let's unveil lesser-known destinations, fascinating cultural tidbits, and unique perspectives, and maybe help you uncover new some layers of Greece beyond the surface. I PROMISE we have some stuff you didn't expect!
What's in it for you? Glad you asked...
Authentic Insights – My genuine and passionate insider knowledge on Greek culture, travel, and food, offering unique perspectives that go beyond typical tourist information.
Cultural Enrichment – A deeper understanding of Greece’s rich history, traditions, and contemporary culture, making you feel more connected and informed, and hopefully occasionally entertained!
Practical Guidance – From travel tips to Greek recipes, I offer actionable advice that helps you enhance your experiences, whether you're visiting Greece or just bringing a bit of Greece into your life.
Personal Connection – Whether through genealogy, storytelling, or funny (hopefully!) personal anecdotes, together we can form a meaningful connection with Greece, whether you have Greek roots or just a interest in this beautiful country.
Discovery of Hidden Gems – Yes, you'll get some of "Greece's Greatest Hits", but you'll also gain access to some off-the-beaten-path destinations, unique experiences, and lesser-known aspects of Greek culture, enriching your exploration of Greece in a way you might not find elsewhere.
The tagline of this website is "Information, Inspiration, and Oddball Little Side Trips for Anyone Interested in Greece and Greek Culture" - and really, that sums it up. You might learn a little something, you might get a little excited about something, and occasionally you'll go "Huh!" with an unusual new tidbit you'd never known before.
Seriously, if I can get the "Huh!" Of Surprised Understanding, my work here is done.
And hopefully you'll also get a laugh or two.
So pour yourself a καφεδάκι* or a nice glass of wine and poke around a bit. And for even more, follow me on Instagram for lots of goodies, join our Facebook group, subscribe to my YouTube channel and follow on Pinterest. We're all over the place.
Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy!
