My two favorite destinations in the world are Italy and Greece, and as your Destination Specialist for both countries, I look forward to sharing with you all the reasons they could become your favorite destinations as well.

First, Greece. Having been in the travel industry for over 30 years, I've specialized in Greece for 20+ years. I've traveled, explored, and experienced many of the islands several times. I sincerely appreciate the wonderful hospitality, friendliness, and kindness of the Greek people, and I've certainly enjoyed their superb Greek cuisine - especially the fresh seafood and scrumptious Greek delicacies. I look forward to sharing with you the diversity that is Greece: From the Acropolis standing high above Athens, to the picture- perfect islands showcasing white sandy beaches, beautiful sunsets, rugged mountains, and iconic views of the sea. I've sailed around the islands, walked the narrow streets and shopped locally-owned stores for treasures not to be found anywhere else. In addition, I'm very familiar with the hotels in Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, and Crete. And I've traveled between the islands via ferries and flights, so I can easily handle your getting from one island to another. This is just a sample of all that you will enjoy when we communicate to plan your exciting, unforgettable itinerary. We'll discuss the best times of the year to visit here and we'll discuss all that each destination offers. Indeed.... From enjoying fine Greek wines, to exploring ancient ruins, to simply relaxing and enjoying beautiful sunsets. This is Greece... and I can get you there!

Next...Italy! My first visit here was 1978. And I've returned every year since! From Italy's northern borders with its shimmering lakes and snow-capped mountains, to the south with cobblestone streets and magnificent views of the sea, to sampling the best of Tuscany's wines, walking the streets of Florence and Rome to see the magnificent art, sculptures, and ruins; strolling the streets and canals of Venice, and most recently viewing the volcanoes, beaches, nature reserves of Sicily, and enjoying the wonderful Italian cuisine. This is Italy, and just the beginning of all that you will see, experience, and enjoy. I've thoroughly explored and experienced this destination. I've traveled Italy via automobile, train and plane. I've stayed in magnificent villas, private homes, and luxurious hotels. And I've enjoyed many, many different Italian dishes, local wines and can recommend my favorite restaurants. When we talk, I'll share with you several special tips on what to see and do, and another important tip: Italian wines are the best - even the "house" wine. Highly-recommend to order with your meal. Look forward to our talking soon, so that we can plan your upcoming adventure and travel to either Greece or Italy... or both!
