The Journey
It started around 2000: curiosity on overdrive, a notebook, road maps, ferry schedules, and an unshakeable urge to sniff out small, characterful hotels across Greece. That trail led to three books:
And along the way, because the list kept outgrowing the books, I launched this website in 2007.
Why Sunset the Site?
The happy twist? Those once-rare gems aren’t rare anymore. There’s now an abundance of lovely small hotels in Greece, so much that keeping this site truly current would be a full-time job (and then some). Rather than leave old info lingering, I’m pressing pause here.
What I’m Doing Now
These days I plan high-end, detail-obsessed Greece trips with Trufflepig—the same fussy taste, stretched across the whole journey. Expect a touch of quirk and delight: think wheel-throwing with an eccentric master potter, a hidden taverna where the tomatoes taste like August, Greek music at a mountain lookout after an off-road jeep climb, lunch on a restored fishing boat - little moments that are hard to unearth on your own (no gimmicks, just good sleuthing and relationships).
If you’d like me to steer things from the moment you land, you can reach me via Trufflepig. (Bear in mind: we work with plenty of lead time, and trips for Greece typically start from about $750 per person per day.)
So you know you’re in good hands: I’m on Wendy Perrin’s WOW List and among Condé Nast Traveler’s Top Travel Specialists.
Thank You
Thanks for reading, for trusting my taste all these years, and for loving Greece with me.
