ERIKA’S FAMILY
11-day luxury, arts & culture voyage
to Crete, Santorini,
Athens & Peloponnese.
Hello! I am Erika, and this is our family’s ‘Be a Greek’ story.
I had been to Greece before, but never with kids. This time I really wanted to give my kids the chance to experience first hand this amazing country. Everything was planned according to the kids’ interests, so arts, history, culture and gastronomy played a lead role throughout the trip that ‘Be A Greek’ organised for us making this the family trip of a lifetime for all 4 of us.
Crete was amazing! Especially Chania! Our planner had suggested that our family would love Crete and he was so right. Great food, great shopping, great people. Cretans are some of my favorite people now. The Elafonisi Beach was just beautiful. And we will always remember our cruise to Gramvousa Island and Balos Lagoon as well as our sailing day-trip. Our hotel was second to none, we loved our own private pool!
When the kids saw Santorini all 3 of them were left astonished. I had described to them how different the swimming in the Mediterranean feels, how healing it is for the mind and the body. Now they know. The best day of our entire 2 weeks was a fishing trip with our awesome captain. Cruising the caldera during sunset was also an epic moment enjoying the evening in Santorini.
Athens exceeded my expectations. I was so wrong thinking that Athens has no charm. It’s so fresh and alive and so rich with history. The Acropolis and the museum intrigued the family, also our wine tasting was the best, but what topped off our trip was the amazing evening at the top of our Athens hotel with our planner and some stunning views. If only we could have prolonged this trip!

JUSTINE’S FAMILY
10-day educational,
child-oriented vacation
to Athens, Crete & Santorini.
Hello! I am Justine, and this is our family’s ‘Be a Greek’ story.
Traveling to Greece has always been a dream and how amazingly it came true! All our desires were met with this well-rounded journey, full of educational tours, food & wine tastings, great beach time and immersing into the Greek culture.
We had many transfers, car rides, ferries and planes, with everything running amazingly exact. Rides were private and on time despite the crowds during peak hours. The private guides were crazy good. We learned so much and were amazed by their enthusiasm and love for Greece. They knew exactly what things engage an 11-year old’s needs to keep him positively alert!
The Santorini 5-hour guided private tour was a panorama of experiences that blew us away, from learning about the local wineries and enjoying a black sand beach to visiting some exciting ancient sites together with an archeologist.
On the last day of our trip we had a long stretch between our flights and our planner made us an impromptu suggestion to visit the zoo near the airport. He also paid for the ride and the zoo tickets!
Anyone who dreams of visiting Greece should just pick up the phone and call this trip planner. I wish that I could plan every trip from now on with this travel team.

MAGGIE’S FAMILY
12-day luxurious,
Christmas vacation
to Athens, Crete & Thessaloniki.
Hello! I am Maggie, and this is our family’s ‘Be a Greek’ story.
This would be our first family vacation after many many years, so we needed something really special to celebrate and maximize our moments in Greece. What an impeccable winter experience ‘Be A Greek’ tailored for us!
In Athens, visiting the Parthenon was a true gift due to our great guide who answered all our questions. The exclusive, festive seafood family dinner in one of the most famous Michelin restaurants in Greece was definitely much appreciated.
In Crete, we took a private culture tour in the mountains above Chania, with spectacular views and great food (actually the food was remarkably good everywhere). We also took a unique pottery class – I myself made a small vase!
In Thessaloniki, we enjoyed a natural springs spa day away from the city buzz, a night with live ‘bouzouki’ music in the city center, and the Classical Russian Ballet performance in the city’s concert hall!
We stayed in amazing hotels and all our transfers were always in time and on point. The local guides were great, taking care of us like family, offering solutions and promptly helping us with any request – from additional spa services to restaurant bookings. If we took this trip a second time, we would not change a thing!

RICK’S FAMILY
12-day cultural, carefree voyage
to Athens, Lefkada,
Kefalonia & Zakinthos.
Hello! I am Rick, and this is our family’s ‘Be a Greek’ story.
We enjoyed a wonderful, stress-free vacation to 3 Ionian islands and Athens, and all credits go to ‘Be A Greek’ that created a great itinerary tailored to our desires. They also did a good job in balancing the amount of planned time vs. free time so that we were actively engaged, but not overwhelmed.
One of our trip’s highlights was the Greek food cooking class we took at a restaurant. Everything was fantastic, not just the food, but also the people, all very friendly and passionate. We also enjoyed some spectacular kayaking and a special visit to a cave one can only reach from the sea.
The service provided throughout the whole trip was impeccable with our guides being always eager and available (even later in the evening). Overall, it was an incredible experience for the family, and we would definitely come back for more, to introduce ourselves to more Greek islands!
