Hi, I’m Villy, the Product Manager at Unforgettable Greece. I was born and raised in Athens, but from an early age, I spent my summers along the stunning coastline of Messinia in the Peloponnese. My childhood there was filled with freedom and a deep appreciation for life’s simple joys—untouched natural landscapes, warm hospitality, and exquisite handcrafted cuisine, which I had the pleasure of sharing with friends from all over the world as their “local guide.” I studied Media in Athens and worked as a journalist for magazines and television in both Greece and Canada. Now, as the Product & Content Manager for Unforgettable Greece, I feel like that little girl again, welcoming friends from around the world to experience everything I cherish about this incredible country, whose rich diversity and heartfelt hospitality never fail to amaze me.

Crete: for Cretans, you’re not a tourist—you’re a friend arriving to share their food and raki. You also enjoy the stunning landscapes, breathtaking beaches, and charming mountain villages, but that’s just a detail.
Ionian Islands: you can’t truly say you know Greece if you haven’t experienced a sailing tour through the Ionian Islands, with its turquoise waters and laid-back atmosphere.
