Curator’s statement
A premium life experience! Greece is an amazing destination combining a lot of characteristics. As a Greek, I’m proud of my country and would love to reveal historical sites, offer the opportunity to visitors to take a journey through history and at the same time share recommendations about local restaurants, activities (depending on the season), etc. Travelers will have the chance to meet local people, learn about their civilization and societies. The magic about this place is that you can be in the mountains and then in half an hour enjoy the sea. You will be in the heart of ancient civilization, every step you take is a journey through the centuries. Ready to explore?
