Travel in the tradition of Greek Meze

A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING GREEK

We have a great tradition in Greece when we sit down to welcome friends to a meal – we take a small portion of the tastiest dishes from our amazing heritage and put them all on the table at the same time. We call it Meze, literally a taste or a bite, a mouthwatering combination of flavours and spices perfect for sharing.

HONEYMOONERS, FAMILIES, FRIENDS – WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE?

ON HOLIDAY YOU EAT WITH YOUR EYES

According to the famous ancient Roman gourmet Apicus, who wrote one of the first recorded cookbooks, ‘first you eat with your eyes’, and we certainly wouldn’t disagree. In fact we think the same is true about being on holiday in Greece which has some of the most attractive sights in the Mediterranean. By a quirk of homophonic grammar, many of which are also famous historic ‘sites’, some on the mainland and some on our islands.

A FEAST OF EXPLORATION

The great news is that, just like a Meze meal laid out on a dining table, it’s so easy to get between these various classic ‘morsels’ picking and choosing amongst your favourites or even trying all of them. Many are within easy reach of Athens by road, others reached in traditional island-hopping fashion by boat. No matter how big your appetite for exploration, our country and waters are a feast for the senses.

LET US GIVE YOU GREECE ON A PLATTER

From the ancient and classic to the Venetian and the Ottoman, through man-made wonders and natural beauty, from fast-food budget snack to extravagant 5-star a la carte, we can prepare a menu to suit every taste and budget. Let us take care of you and your customers and, just like a top-class Maitre D’, we’ll show the very finest flavours of Greece.  

Rest assured, we’ll also point you in the direction of our favourite restaurants for Meze!

A CRUISE TO SHARE THE LOVE THIS VALENTINE’S DAY

SUMMER 2024 ALL CRUISES ARE ROMANTIC – THIS ONE ESPECIALLY SO

Few things in the world of travel are more romantic than hoisting sail and venturing out into the wild blue yonder on Homer’s legendary ‘wine dark’ Aegean sea. In Greece it’s been this way since the dawn of time – albeit the creature comforts you find on board these days are rather more superior and luxurious.

HONEYMOONERS, FAMILIES, FRIENDS – WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE?

There’s something rather lovely about a small vessel. Well, there has to be as with no more than 4 cabins and 8 people on board (plus the skipper and host) you need to be fond of each other. This stunning ‘Big Cat’, Satyam Melody, is equally as wonderful and relaxed for honeymooners, a three-generation family, or a group of good friends. Romance, affection, fondness – what’s not to love?

CRUISE IN THE WAKE OF ROMANCE

Our cruise starts in Athens, named for Athena the Greek Goddess of Wisdom – so it’s a smart sort of place to kick-off from. The itinerary encompasses the Saronic Gulf, a stretch of beautiful water lying between the Attica and Argolis Peninsulas. En route we hop between the islands of Hydra, Spetses and Aegina and also call into Epidaurus, Poros and Ermioni on the Peloponnese mainland. These are places Odysseus would have called at, on his way home from the Trojan wars, in one of the most legendary love stories of all time – his 10 year journey back to find his wife Penelope.

BEST WISHES FOR VALENTINE’S DAY ET AL

Every day in Greece is someone’s ‘Name Day’ and, unsurprisingly, February 14th is the name day of everybody called Valentine or Valentina. But today is also a moveable feast of celebrations – in other places around the world it’s National Library Lover’s Day, National Ferris Wheel Day, Pet Theft Awareness Day, and even National Cream-Filled Chocolate’s Day.

Somewhat rather more appropriately, it’s also National Flirting Week. So here’s a rose for you!
