  • Island Hopping Best Value Hotels Programs & Tours
    Greece WITH TURKEY EXTENSIONS Island Hopping Best Value Hotels Programs & Tours 2016 www.gtc.com.gr I was born and raised in Greece, so it is a great privilege that I can show people from around the world my beautiful country. Since I started working in the travel industry my greatest enjoyment is seeing the amazement on the faces of tourists who come to Greece. It is a joy to see their expressions when they admire the famous historical sites, try authentic Greek food and when they talk with the locals. It has been over 25 years since I started as a reservation consultant. At first I worked in a small family run agency, which grew to a much larger business, which was eventually taken over by a multinational company. I've seen many sides of industry, but in returning to a boutique office, where customer service, experience and attention to detail is more important that corporate results, I can truly say I am much happier. It's great to still be able to welcome tourists with the same smile as I did when I started in the industry many years ago. While many are drawn to Greece due to the country's history and the beauty of the Greek Islands, it is the welcoming nature of the Greek people that has tourists returning year after year. Despite the difficulties that Greece has gone through over the last few years it has just made us work even harder to provide a great holiday experience for our clients. When my brother, who now lives in United States, returns home, often bring friends along, it is such a festive environment and continues to reinforce for me how much I love what I do.
